Burnt Roux: Son of UL Hall of Famer Commits to Tulane

[snote]

After his senior year, we were not interested as he was not eligible. After going to Hargrave to get eligible, his father discouraged him from considering us due to the initial view. In retrospect, we probably should have considered something like greyshirting.

_ Gotcha. I just don't understand the "it doesn't really matter" mentality concerning a good player from your own backyard. It would have definitely mattered to me if Michael Clayton would have committed to Miss State even though they weren't worth a damn the previous year. _

I DO NOT THINK IT MATTERS! I happen to like our recruiting class and although I like some of the guys Tulane got in their class I wouldn't trade ours for theirs. Techs I would trade ours for but Tech in my opinion has a much better class than Tulane.

It doesn't matter though because he won't be a Cajun so why worry about bull____. Should we be upset that out of high school we didn't offer a kid who had no other division 1 scholarship offers? He went to Hargrave and became a much better prospect and by that time he felt slighted probably that we didn't offer out of high school....OHHHH WELLL! I am not one to cry over stuff like this so like I said it doesn't matter.

He never does.

I have never said the Barousse guys keep our guys away. There are too many LHS guys on the team for that to be the case. I do know that the Carencro guy will steer his guys towards McNeese more than ours if his players ask. That is not the same as keeping our guys away. In Figaro's case, I hope he is ready to study hard as some say his high school academic performance makes you wonder if he will be able to cut it at Tulane.
