Football Season: Reasons to be negative.

[KajunKrazy]

I am being careful about how I ask this, because from all accounts he is a fantastic kid, and I really hope he is a great player for the Cajuns. I have only seen him play in 4 games, all against CHS-NI. He was able to do almost nothing against them. Maybe 100 yards total for the 4 games. I recognize that he's not a one man show, but I'm a little worried he did all his damage against really sub par competition, as local 3A ball hasn't been super strong the last few years. I'm wondering, from those who have seen him play often, do you think he's a solid 1A player, or did he get his yards against weak teams?

Again, it's a question, and I'm in no way trying to bash the kid. I hope he finishes with the all time Cajun rushing record. I'm just a little skeptical at this point.

Ditto that ? I have the same concerns about him.


I never saw him play in person but saw his coach on an interview compare him to Leonard fornette. Is he a big bruiser type?

He is a weight room legend at Erath.

4.5 40 time
50 ft. shot put

I think he may be in the summer program on campus working weights.

Your question is fine.

It's like this. Erath is a 3A school. It is one of the smaller 3A schools. For the time that Mitchell was there, it had a 1A offensive line in talent. Catholic High had at least a 4A defensive line in talent.

It's not that Mitchell only dominated weaker teams. He dominated everybody, except the 1 or 2 schools that absolutely dominated Erath's OL.

Heck, McGuire was shut down several times due to Louisiana's sorry OL. I certainly don't think any less of him because of that.

D line is pretty deep. Will he play as a freshman or red shirt? Curious to see.

[angeleast]

Will Ziyon be redshirted??

[oldwiseone33]

Hope Hill isn't redshirted. I believe he can contribute this year

Why would he have lost speed?
