Better Recruiting

[Geaux]

Back to the point at hand. He is right we need better personal at the LB and DB position. What I do see is Hud, likes to redshirt unless your a sure fire like E. McGuire. if you are a younger borderline player, Hud will redshirt you which will pay big dividends on the back end. To be honest, the strategy has worked so far.the only place he has missed so far is on the JUCO transfers at DB.

That's just plain black and white right there.

The "problem" we need to fix is that we simply need to recruit better football players, borderline SEC players that normally would leave for out of state. Recruiting has improved under Coach Hud, even though our football facilities are an eye sore. From watching the game, it appears we run the same defensive scheme that 'Bama and Baylor runs against the spread (quarter, quarter, half) we just have to keep improving personnel. We feel the loss of a speed rusher like Emeka, and I'm sure the recruiting process is addressing this. Oh, and with having a smart, minority defensive coordinator, I hope they pay him comparably to other programs, or we will lose him after one season.
Continuity with assistants is pretty important.

LOL!!!!Really?

T-Bine I think that it is time we lose this thread------No school can match the UL past and present records of relationships with the minority races---End of story and end of discussion before somebody misreads the content---Please lets eliminate this now!!!!

All young, smart, vibrant, minority coaches who are kicking ___ recruiting..
Not a coincidence.
"We pay our coaches well white or black"-
They get paid the lowest salaries of any FBS program.
You want to be ACC level, or Big 12, or AAC, even Conf. USA right? That's what all the banter is about, so pay what they pay. Get the shovel in the ground and start building this dream facility. Great coaches recruit..there are some damn good coaches working over on Reinhardt drive right now..They have a good thing going.

The pay has risen substantially since Hudspeth has taken over. I don't believe that we are at the bottom or that close to the bottom anymore. I don't think we are in the top half either but I don't think we are last either.

No matter how many games Coach Hudspeth wins at UL, two things are still holding the program back....Sun Belt Conference and Facilities. And will continue to be a concern even after the First Phase is completed because the second phase will need to be completed in order to compare yourself to any BCS program.

How for off are we from a date to start phase 2? We have not heard anything recently except starting phase one.

Realistically a couple of years.

"Minority defensive coordinator..."

Why is this even relevant??

To me it should be irrelevant to a commentator.

Just let the recruiting experience happen for the recruit.

Guys remember that the APF which is basically all the facilities that will bump the IPF are due to start as soon as the season is over --this is part of phase I and will be completed by next year hopefully naturally all the existing Cox building will be used for administration for a while until the Phase II stadium project is completed --this will be the total movement to Cajun field and the tearing down of the CoX building!!!! But just the South End zone and the extra seats to the press box side near the North E Z will be cool and the Locker rooms etc fabulous!!!!
