3 STAR RECRUIT UP FOR GRABS

[Cajunsmike]

Are we close to getting anymore commitments on defense, specifically some JUCO help?

We just got a commitment from a JUCO DT that originally was set to go to Kansas. We also have a JUCO LB and a JUCO DB committed.

There was an article a couple of days ago about the JUCO DT. His name is Ryan Glazer and he is 6'3" 290 lbs. He played JUCO ball in California and has graduated from his JC. He will enroll here for the spring semester and participate in spring practice. I don't remember much about the other two but I think they went to a Kansas JUCO. Go to the Scout site and you may find things on them.

_ According to espn, the TE from Dutchtown was being recruited as an OT. They just wanted to add some beef to him but turn him into a tackle. Is this correct Cajun T? I would actually prefer him at TE but just curious. I love Odom and Plouhar on the line. Not sure about Duhon just because at his size, you would expect that he would have gotten more attention. _

This is correct, he will play at OT. Big Linemen that run sub 5.0's don't sign with non BCS programs. You have to find athletes that project down the line. The Cajuns have done this with Cox and Pirtle in the past and it has worked out good for the program. When you have a kid with that kind of wing span and quickness, you can build him up for several years. He ran a 4.8 at the Scout Combine, Chase Clement ran a 4.9.

T, are you talking about Wilson or Osbourne? I think he is talking about Wilson.

ESPN had Wilson ranked as one of the top 50 OT's in the country based on his junior film, at 220 lbs. To my knowledge, he never played OT, just TE for a team that does not throw. ESPN never re-ranked him at OT, maybe because they saw the internet video of him running the 100 meters from a 3 point stance and figured not all that many OT's do that sort of thing. He is now over 240 lbs, but is a sub 4.6 guy, not just sub 5.0. I guess he could play OT, he would be a pretty dang fast OT.

Holy cow, at 240 lbs he is running a sub 4.6, that is ridiculous!

Yes, I was talking about Osborne. Wilson will stay at TE with his speed and is an excellent blocker.
