We all know recruiting high school adolescents is a guessing game. All I know is that I just want the best football players we can get on our team, local or not. It is a problem though when our coaches consistently mis-evaluate on players and/or don't offer a local and he goes on to be really good somewhere else. My thought is why do we lack talent on this team 5 years in under Hud and can he and his staff make changes to improve that outcome.
My perspective as well. I sure don't comprehend how we emptied our talent cupboard leading into year 5. I can only hope that Hud gets some technical coaching help over the offseason, and he recalibrates his recruiting model. I know for a fact we had injuries and terrible coaching this past season. A big talent void seriously confounds me. We have had absolutely nothing to attract talent in the vast majority of years... and we had damn good talent come to our program. Hud needs to allow some honest open evaluation of his methods before he doubles down on more of the same.
Yup, Hud has always taken chances at signing "at risk" kids be it grades or questionable moral character. As I type this q. griffin is still in prison among others..
We would all be on PiopaginBut hey, if Hud was Louie Cook, none of this would be a problem, right?
It's usually grades. Every team in the country has a player or 2 with question all moral character. On top of the players that never qualify, dismissals and injuries have taken their toll not to mention the loss of so many starting seniors from last year. I don't think the talent cupboard is bare like some of you are saying. The talent is young and it needs to come together and progress. It would be nice if we could just reload like the LSUs of the world but we simply could not this year due to all of the aforementioned circumstances.
I saw both play going back their middle school days. Fuse was the best middle school player I ever saw for any school. At that point I thought he was headed to a top 10 school.
I will answer your question this way. Fuse was the better football player. Trevor is a super fine all around athlete. Both come from outstanding families and both are great kids. I'm proud to have Fuse as a Cajun, and would be just as proud to have Begue on our squad. I'd also love to see Bellamy on our team realizing he is too short to play QB in college.
