2008 UL Football Roster

[zephyr]

But yet Chris Richard is listed as 185? He was listed coming in as 205. I thought by seeing him last year that he was closer to 205 than 185 but oh well. I still need to get there and see some of these guys to believe those weights. I hope they are truly accurate. I saw Grand Fleming not long ago and he didn't look 232 but I sure would like to see him there and I think he can play at that weight with his frame and lose nothing.

_ Yes, they are accurate. _

I noticed that the size and weights used on Scout are different from those used by UL on Ragincajuns.com. When Scout does their depth chart analysis following the first scrimmage this weekend, I hope they will refer to the offical UL depth chart, which is where my figures came from. We need to all be consistent. I also hope the UL Media Guide is released shortly and has all of the updated sizes and weights of the players.

_ Thanks, for the link.

And for those of us Ragin Cajun fans wanting to know how many are Louisiana local on the roster, here goes.

Of the 99 players listed, 56 cite Louisiana as their home state.

I have not checked other universities but, I doubt that there is a overwhelmingly larger percentage. Also listed are 8 from a 4-6 hour drive of Lafayette.

The Ragin Cajuns will win with local products. _

...and non local "products".

The Scout Roster is not complete yet, I'm updating as go I through this next week. But I was present when a lot of these athletes checked in last Sunday and talked to some of these guys on the first day Monday.

Jaron Odom measured out at 6-7, not 6-8 and Fleming told me he weighed 225, Zanders 230 and Brooks 230. Ian Burks is not 6-5, but 6-2 and Chris Fisher told me he weighed in at 290. Also, Lanier Coleman is not 6-5, but 6-3,299 pounds. He would have to grow 2" over the past year at 22 years old. So, I'm going with what I know to be accurate and others I will check on this week.

Seems there are 79 guys listed at 6 feet or taller.

Then there is the curious case of Rodney Gillis.

To the best of my calculations he is 6 feet 7 inches tall.

I'm coming in at the same weight and height as last year. I've noticed a little more loss of hair around the crown, but it should not factor into my fan abilities for this football season. I intend to be louder and more obnoxious (but not to my team or fellow fans). Any fan rosters that show me as leaner and more handsome this year have been greatly exaggerated. However, any physical attributes that I lack are made up for by unrelenting tenacity.

Loss of hair around the crown...it's an omen of a great season ahead!! Do we have a fan roster? Just kidding. Take care.
