Beau, here is my interview with Hudspeth I posted yesterday if you haven't gotten a chance to listen to it.

that has to kill our depth

[uslol'dog]

These guys just got burned out or what?
Atypical to see seniors not wanting to finish up..
Any defensive linemen left?

Hudspeth said Fouquier, a Comeaux High product who already has graduated from UL, decided not to return for his fifth and final season.

“He had job opportunities, and he had one that he just couldn’t pass up,” the Cajun coach said.

“I think he’s going to work with one of the state representatives at the (state) capitol (in Baton Rouge) and start getting ready for the bar exam.

Briscoe, a Carencro High product who is on track to graduate in June, started his career as a redshirt at Miami, sat out 2013 after transferring to UL, played in 12 games and had 19 tackles in 2014, and finished last season with nine tackles in eight games.

Hudspeth said Briscoe will have shoulder surgery “that will not allow him to play this year, it looks like, so he is going to wrap it up.”

Winston and Johnson, meanwhile, are on track to graduate in May.

I don't know how many on here played but it is really a tough grind--After 4 years I took a tryout camp that I was invited to by the Saints---but after2 shoulder and one arm operation and probably in need of another it would have been a tough go for another season---So glad these guys look to be on great footing academically!!!! Thanks for being a Ragin' Cajun guys!!!

I don't know guys....in the last 4 years under HUD I can't really say that we have seen a consistent progression of talent. Maybe the Quave brothers or Toval.....other than that Broadway, Robinson, Harris, Fouquier, Brisco???
All of these were 3 star athletes and they never seemed to max out their senior year.Of the 2012 class, Jevante Watson may be the only starter in 2016. Instead of developing talent it seems like our staff just tries to backfill with the next recruiting class. It may have bit us in our arse in 2015. Is it poor recruiting or poor development of talent? I can't put my finger on it, but over the last 3 years we can't keep coaches,recruits never make it to fall camp and we have lost 6 scholarship players since last season. Somethings up.....

Who get's the extra 4 scholarships or are those accounted for with this last class or ncaa penalty? This sort of thing happens everywhere in the spring semester. One has graduated (and is entering workforce), another has shoulder problems (yet another shoulder problem for this team) that would keep him from playing, one of the other two hardly saw the field.

Fouquier, graduates this Spring and has a very good job offer he accepted.
