[Etowncajun]

Didn't he withdraw his name the year bustle was hired?

[CajunT]

_ Tell me why we can't recruit better at UL. It seems like every year in the off-season we

1.Won't go after more local guys (Not Just STM or LHS)

2.He played one year of High school football

3.DE are great in height to small in weight

4.The players are playing out of postion. We recruit him as a FS he ends up playing LB at 6'0 190
or turn WR into TE

5.To scared to go after big time players in our on back yard for example just to name a few
Lucas Taylor,Quinton Lawrence,Alonzo Landry,Cro.Jared Shaw,Kenneth Batiste Tyson Andrus Northside,Alley Broussard(AHS) Martell Narcisse,Dennis Savoy,Early Doucet Beau Lasseigne
and many more that can go on this list

6.If their grades are bad don't stop recuirting them try to help them out by giving them a
letter of encouragment for example Wilford Journet signed with Auburn and is playing Juco
in Mississippi to pick up his grades then is going to Auburn. Keiland Williams did the same but went to a military school.

7.Needs to bond more with the local coaches

8.Get out in the Community more often to build your fan base
Start a Cajun Tour.

UL needs to do something fast even ULM is coming down here and getting our guys _

Don't assume that any of these athletes were not offered. That would be a false assumption on your part. Wilford Journet was placed in JC by Auburn, he doesn't have any chance of making into any major insitution. His academics were terrible and didn't gradaute on time. He was offered an opportunity to enroll at UL and work on his academics, he chose to go to JC. Keiland Willliams and the same offer, he was sent to prep school and it was paid for by someone with deep pocket books.

UL has offered every single top athlete in the area this year and you can go down the list.

Rickey Johnson-offered
Jordan James-offered
Andrew Hebert-offered
Marcus Wiltz-offered
Robert Walker-offered
Deon Anthony -no offer yet 16 ACT
Troy Godfrey -no offer yet 15 ACT
Louis Hollier-no offer yet 15 ACT
Jacarde Carter- no offer yet, Qualified(following)
Seth Standsberry-no offer yet, Qualified(following)
Michael Lamothe- offered

These are just to name a few, no athlete that is a BCS prospect is not going to sign with UL for the most part.

I agree. These people that always holler about bringing in "local" kids or the talented ones don't understand that we usually offer every one of them at some point. There is also the fact that LSU and the SEC schools in Ms. are usually on them anyway. It is hard for us to compete with these guys until we start winning. That is why you don't usually hear about our interest in these prospects but we are on them.
