Just got back for the convention center, what a night. Over 500 people there to meet our newest Ragin' Cajuns. A very well put together event that I truly enjoyed. Coach Bustle thanked all the people for coming and especially thanked all those who helped the coaching staff with their recruiting budget (donated cars to use, travel expenses etc.) he stressed that this year we did things the way they are supposed to be done and that we MUST continue to do so. This is the start of something good and if we continue to support recruiting like we did this year things will only get better.
Cox, Chance, Cones, Fane, Blappert, Scott, Thomas and Lewis were all there. I believe we got some good (and some great) players all of which will help continue to turn our program around. I am the most pleased with the number of DL & DB recruits we have, most of which are JC transfers. Our DL & DB lacked size and depth and now we will have both. I still believe we will be able to redshirt most of our incoming 19 freshman.
I've been to several of these recruiting functions in the past, but WOW, tonight was different. First class with a big time crowd. And, the convention center is wonderful. We're on our way. I picked up one of the press releases on the way out. For each player the release lists the other schools that were recruiting. Some big time schools were on a lot of these guys. Schools like Clemson, West Virginia, South Carolina, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, LSU, Michigan State, Tennessee & Oklahoma State to name a few. Bustle is mixing it up with the big guys and hanging tough! I think we'll see a "much improved" team this year with the following year starting to really turn some heads.
The UL Football Signing Day Receptions was great. Just another classy function for the up in coming football program. I really enjoyed myself and I look forward to seeing all the great tallent on the playing field.
Hey redbug can you put that information out, I did not find those sheets, and was wondering who were some of the people that were looking at the guys that signed here.Originally posted by RedBug58

Thanks for the notice. It is easy to see from the recruiting bash that Mr. Bustle is a class act. I look forward to his appearance.:o
Great show!
Very informative.
Coach Bustle has recruited classes that ended up competing for the National Championship. This class has him, "as excited as any class he has ever been around."
I got to call in while on my way to Cankton, could not talk long in traffic but asked if he hoped to redshirt most of the incoming freshman. His answer in so many words was, if they (the freshman) come in and earn the chance to play then they would play. He would not just RS because they were freshman.
Great show, thanks Snote![]()
Does anyone know if Coach Bustle & staff will hold a football camp this summer? I know they did'nt last year because he had just started but I think it would be a good idea to have one this year.
