Hudspeth sees room for satellite camp compromise

[cajunhawk]

So we should just give up trying to limit access to P5 schools, therefore giving them free access and making it easier for the P5 to come in.

Sounds like he is tryin to limit the camps in such a way that would benifit UL the most. I don't know this for certain, but I don't think UL can afford the number of camps that Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, USC and other can.

Double edged sword, enlarged access for everyone else, means more access for us too. A proactive approach (instead of this turf boundary we don't even have reactive ____) is to partner with teams who want to run camps in Louisiana or the surrounding states and share the cost. That way we get more camps...for half the cost. The P5 teams don't even need camps to come in here and raid us. At least with camps, more recruits get more looks. And correct me if I am wrong here, but this whole hidden gem being our entire strategy hasn't really worked out for us, because the only gems we find normally won't qualify academically.

Or the hidden gems we've found have been out of MS. And before people throw out Eli, he was not hidden, he was just assumed to not qualify so the bigger programs passed.

The big winners will be small northern schools.

The big schools can't be in two places at once.

Divided attention creates voids.

Do you blame him?

Also, he makes excellent points.

Everyone mistook my comment. Hud wants the benefits of the camps without the competition. Nothing in the world wrong with that. I'd like him to create another for us in the Houston market.

As to a hidden gem? Yes there are some every camp he doesn't want to be seen by others nothing wrong with that. It's what's best for UL. Dosen't make him wrong or a bad guy. But he seems to be two faced about the camps.
