Erath's Elijah Mitchell commits to Louisiana

[BeauCajun]

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

Some staff members think he has the same skill set. We'll see.

He's legit that's for sure.

Can we get a feature on what a disaster the Tigue Moore Financing has been?

When they finally return request, sure. We don't have much of a story when there is no concrete confirmation/information of numbers, etc. to go with. Reporting heresay and innuendo isn't a road I'll go down. It's frustrating for us media folks as well, trust me.

Same stonewalling. They'll act as if everything is fine even as we're a couple of months behind.

We did a feature on Elijah last week as part of our "Super 16" highlighting some of the best seniors heading into the fall prep season.

Thanks

I get it Syra, but the danged thing is 1.5 months behind schedule. That is not here say or innuendo. Have you mentioned on your show that many have questions about the Tigue, but NO one has been forthcoming? Makes you wonder if some of the locals don't want to get their hands dirty???

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......

You think with this stable of backs we can come with in a couple touch downs against tech?

Sorry I am not buying it. Nothing really happening is a story in itself. How about a little investigative reporting. Most everyone knows none of this is adding up. Do us donors and long time fans a favor. Who knows.

Being from this area I can tell you this guy is legit man. He gets at least 150 yards per game without a stellar offensive line 40 time of 4.46 and he is 6'0 210-215 pounds. Great pickup for the cajuns

Really...that's just sad, but expectable for small market tv sports guy. John Korbel, former katc news director would escort you out of the building if you had that attitude under his watch. The story is the silence and the 2 months (or whatever it is) Tigue rebuild behind schedule. That's the damn story. Somehow 103.7 got access to FOI act info concerning the situation. You can't do the same? And as far as this just being a rant of a few guys on a message board, think of it in these terms. Nielsen Ratings are based on diaries. Lafayette probably gets less than 200 diaries. But those diaries represent thousands of households. Same here...you get 30 or 40 posters who want answers, but you can bet these 30 or 40 represent thousands of fans who have the same questions. So buck up sports guy and earn your check...And before you doubt what I'm saying, I have 30 years of working in TV stations (including one in Lafayette) in large and small markets. I know what I'm talking about and I know enough about how this works to call you and the rest of the media brothers, both print and broadcast out on this. Do your job and stop compromising your objectivity because of relationships built with UL athletics.

Elijah Mitchell RB from Erath commits the the Cajuns. The kid is pretty damn good. Probably the 2nd best Acadiana area RB.

This is a great get. Kid is super athletic and will be a very good run and catch prospect.
