Louisiana gets commitment from Neville High's Mitchell

I try to keep my post short, but it sometimes makes people misunderstand my point. I am not knocking the kid or the staff for targeting him. My point is that we have been targeting “diamonds in the ruff” for a while now...with limited success. I agree with people here that on paper we have better coaches, so we should expect better player development. I just think projecting athletes who are not even rated is not a long term recipe for success.

One kid. One kid who seems to be completely flying under the radar, or is a project, and you're whining about our lack of a recipe for success? I guess you weren't paying attention to those athletes who have visited since Napier took over as head coach. Or more likely you did but they don't fit the narrative.

Exactly! Every class, at every school has under the radar projects. Considering this is one that Leger was hiding, I feel pretty good about it.

His handle should be Half-empty.

I trusted the Hud staff until they started failing too often.

Huds first couple of recruiting classes were real nice it seems like... Landed Alonzo Harris,Carter, Quave brothers, Sean Thomas, Tovell, Ringo, Hamilton and alot others. (McGuire???) I'm not sure what happened but that talent fell off quickly...

I remember a RB recently who got missed by a lot of folks. Turned out to be a decent player for us.

Maybe the loss of recruiters with "ACT Testing Center" contacts hurt

You did read that he’s grown a couple inches, didn’t attend camps. Late bloomer with no few camps ain’t getting rated. I’m trusting our staff n.

Those assessments come every time a player is lightly recruited. Remember the athlete we pulled out of the St Aug band or the basketball player from Karr (next Jimmy Graham). I do trust in Napier, but he is in a tough spot with HUD leaving the recruiting pipeline virtually dry. He is literally doing months of evaluating in one month. I will probably not comment on individual recruits and wait to see what we get in February.

IMO Metry, you simply don’t understand what season you’re in. This is recruiting period when everything is possible. In the fall you’re in the game season when reality smacks up against expectations to see who’s winning.

Just enjoy recruiting period and quit worrying yourself and trying to bring everyone down to your unhappiness.

There's a lot of irony here. LOL.
