G.W. must be doing well if he was awarded a scholarship. Or at least the prognosis must be good.

Has anyone heard anything on Tatford? Dandy Don has him as a lean toward us and I read his father played here as well. If he does play for us where would he most likely play, QB? WR? SS? I would love to see him in vermilion & white, we need that type of size & speed.

I have been told that Brandon Cox will attend UL in January and will count towards this year's signing class. He re-took the test during the Fall and passed it, so he is a full qualifier and a true freshman for the Spring. The same source also said that 2003 OL recruit Will Chance will enroll & attend UL in this spring and to look for 4 or 5 more JC transfers in May, although I do not think he meant OL transfers. This is great news on Cox and Chance because they will get to go through spring practice and have a full summer in the weight room.

ULL is off to a fast start with double digit commitments up to this point. I see a trend in Ricky Bustle’s recruiting class. It appears the Cajuns are looking for immediate help in the offensive and defensive lines. I believe ULL has already signed at least four junior college players. I also think Bustle has expanded his recruiting base and will appear to lean heavily on players from Texas. I know I have seen ULL’s name associated with more Texas kids than usual. The Cajuns have not made a big splash in Louisiana as of yet, focusing more on good student-athletes who might stick with the program for four or five years and contribute after maturing. I believe in building the foundation with guys you know will be with you for four years, and then rolling the dice on a few difference makers. My opinion in the past has been the Cajuns had the philosophy backwards. It appears there is a new sheriff in town.

He also returned one of his two fumble recoveries for an 80-yard touchdown. He earned All-Region XXIII and All-State honors and was the recipient of his team's Defensive Lineman Award.
