I don't know. I'm 5-8 and I consider myself short. I'm no football guru, but I always thought that you'd really like your WR's at least 6'. But I do know one thing for sure. I'm glad he committed to us! I read in today's DA that he should have his paperwork in this week.



Geaux Cajuns!!!!

He can catch. As a junior Bruce Taylor, had a game with 5 receptions for 145 yards and 3 TDs.

Time Picayune-By Greg LaRose

Time is a valuable commodity in the world of college football recruiting: Coaching staffs usually start to home in on a prospect in advance of his sophomore year of high school. For an idea of how much time is worth, just ask Louisiana-Lafayette football coach Rickey Bustle, who didn't have much of it after taking over the Ragin' Cajuns in December 2001.

Working against the clock, Bustle and his assistants scrambled to sign 14 prospects for his first ULL recruiting class this past February. But as soon as that group was finalized, the staff began looking ahead to 2003 to use its leftover scholarships.

Bustle signed 30 players by signing day. Since eight of those players enrolled at ULL in January, they count against last year's NCAA limit of 25 scholarships.

If it starts in the trenches-as they say-then Louisiana is fortified with another trench monster.

It's looking good.

Can you say 1000 yard rusher?

LAFAYETTE — Make that 32 signees for Louisiana’s football program.

The Cajuns have added another junior college signee in 6-foot-4, 295-pound offensive lineman Adrian Limbrick of City College of San Francisco, giving the Cajuns five offensive line signees.

Limbrick also is the Cajuns’ 12th junior college signee, a number the San Diego, Calif., native was excited about.

“That means we’re going to have an impact immediately,” said Limbrick, who helped lead City College to a national junior college crown as a freshman in 2001. “My whole goal is to win at whatever I’m doing, and that’s what we’re going to do. If we’ve got a lot of juco players, we’ll have a lot of players ready to come in and play.”

Limbrick was a two-year starter for the San Francisco squad of coach George Rush, and his team compiled a 9-2 record this year and lost in the Northern California Conference championship game to Butte. His team had won the league title in his freshman season en route to a national title.

Limbrick visited Louisiana's campus three days after national signing day.

“Talking to the coaches was what convinced me,” he said. “If I never took a visit and just talked to the coaches, I still would have signed. They were honest with me, kept it up front and showed interest in me as a player and as a person.”

The Cajuns have 20 high school signees and the 12 juco signees for next season. However, eight of the signees — two prep and six juco — are already enrolled for the spring semester and count against last year’s total. That leaves Louisiana with 24 signees counting this year, one under the NCAA maximum 25 per year.
