Erath's Elijah Mitchell commits to Louisiana

[cajun4life]

I'm certainly not knocking him or anything, heard nothing but good things, just saw what is on his current Hudl page.

Oh I think he is one of the Top 5 RBs in Louisiana and number 2 in Acadiana. I'm very glad he has committed to us. Would be huge to keep him through signing day.

I think Travis Etienne from Jennings is easily the #1 RB in the state.

Mitchell is 5' 11" 205lbs. 4.55 40yd dash

Sounds and looks about right.

I will tell you from watching this guy many times. He loves to work out and improve. Good head on his shoulders. He is still growing. The ceiling for this kid is very high.

Agreed.

Hope he turns out to be a good one. Judging from his hudl film, which I know is a small sample size, he won't be on the level of Zo/Eli/Fen. I'd love to be wrong about this one.

More like a Fenroy. Not sure we will see a McGuire type back again.

Should clarify, my comment was about their names being so similar not skill set.

[BrockMeaux]

I couldn't care less about his measurables. The kid can play ball in a big way and that's all that matters. Glad he's committed and I hope he sticks to it.

He's a quality get......

We will have a stable of backs with:

1. Jordan Wright
2. Trey Ragas
3. Raymond Calais
4. Elijah Mitchell

This might be a special sack of backs in a few years......

How about some linemen to open some holes for these guys.

I agree. I'm always happy to get very good players regardless of position. However, having excellent offensive and defensive lines can make 2 & 3 star skilled position players appear to be 4 & 5 star players. More often than not, games are won and loss in the trenches.
