All three players seem to be good finds. I don't know much about Huval, though. Can anyone provide something on him?

BTW... I am sure Pryer's star rating will now be lowered since a mid-major signed him instead of LSU or the like.

Um, read the story. Think plenty of good info was provided there.

I know, Josh. I read it. I guess I was looking for some thoughts from some on the board. CajunT and Z often have good insight into our recruiting and I was looking for their thoughts.

As usual, thanks for your great coverage of everything having to do with UL athletics.

For what it's worth, Hightower considers Huval to be one of the best he's had at STM, even better than Fisher.

For a short 300 pounder, Huval moves extremely well. Good footwork is one of the biggest drop-offs from top 30 program lineman and all the rest. I know some people have been wondering why UL has added so slowly to our recruit list... but so far... I really like the guys we've gotten commitments from.

We are way ahead on commitments this year compared to years past.

Two years ago, the Cajuns had one commitment at this point in recruiting.

He is very strong at the point of attack and has really good feet. If you see some of the video from the Scout.com/Fox Sports Combine, he faced several LSU DL commitments and was named outstanding OL in that camp. If Huval was 2" taller, he would have BCS programs calling him every night. He will do fine playing inside and he plays with a bit of a mean streak.

Should there be concern about his being a 1A player since only McNeese and Southeastern recruited him? Not even LA Tech or ULM were on him. I know Fisher and Bustle were walk-ons, so this probably means nothing. I remember when we played K State and Nebraska and everyone kept saying how much bigger they were than us. We had some pretty big O linemen, I thought, unless our heights and weights were exagerated.

I don't know. We sign 5'11" DL and 6' 1" OL people. At least he is already at 300 lbs. vs. the 265 lb. linemen we sometimes get out of high school. I certianly like the size of our DL committment at 6'6" and 290 lbs. That is what this guy will be up against. Are his size and lack of 1A schools recruiting of him be valid concerns?
