Ragin' Cajuns football recruiting: current UL commits list

[KajunKrazy]

Lol calm down boys, I understand you're hurt.
I know it's hard being a cajun fan lol

On Wednesday we about to sign many kids with tech offers for football. Don't act like you didn't want them. I think we are rated top 5 in G5 and 58 over all. Things will be changing around here just hand on for a little while.

According to 247 recruiting (I looked at every single UL commit listed), we've got three commits that show to have offers from La Tech. La Tech's list of commits shows to have two that were offered by UL. We show ZERO commits that hold offers from LSU, A&M, Texas, Ole Miss, or Miss St. I'd say that means that any talk of UL's incoming class being one of the top classes in the country is pretty lame. If you take the time to look at them all, you'll see that most of our commits hold only SBC, CUSA, or FCS offers. It'll be a respectable signing class, but none of our upcoming opponents will lose any sleep over it.

Over hyping everything about our football program is what we did during the Hudspeth era. I refuse to go down that road again. We'll see if all the hype about this class is legit in the next few years.

Nothing lame with this class other than your football take on a basketball topic...and, if all holds up, according to 247, UL will have a top 5 G5 CLASS. No hype.

Spot on. I wouldn't get caught up in the rankings as long as you're not near the bottom you're good. Plus you have to look at the avg. ranking per recruit. If you have a bigger class you're more likely to finish ahead of another school. Per 247, Tech is 2nd in CUSA with 15 commits at an 82.78 average. North Texas is in 1st place with 22 commits but has a lower average at 82.73. Cajuns have 21 commits with a lower average of 82.41. I always take a wait and see approach with rankings. A lot of times when you look back on a class it's the walk on or lightly recruited player that becomes the star and leader on the team. It's all how you develop them and how much heart and desire the player has to become better.

All you said accurate, but numbers do matter. Good to have more good players, good to have better players. If the quality is close more is better on paper and statistically. Time will determine who's better on the field. I'm sure LTUR will sign more than 15 players. Ya think enough to get to the top tier of G5?

Will be more than 15 but not much more. You already have 21 and Tech will probably max out at 20. I would have to go back and look at the openings for this class but it's not as much as other schools which is a good thing. Continuity and not a lot of players leaving the program. Holtz never signs a full class though. Always leaves a few for quality transfers and for walk-ons that have earned a scholarship. Already have a top tier G5 class when you look at average ratings per player. More is better like you say, we have more staying in the program and don't need to sign a big class.

I'll go with the Nick Saban model, when is the last time Bama signed 17 players? He signs 25 almost every year with a pile of PWO players. Bama finds homes for 5 star players not cutting it so they can sign 25. Hudspeth unable to find his allotment of quality players also 'held' scholarships for better players falling through the cracks later in the year. That's code for I cannot find enough good players willing to come.

Bama can do what it wants however it wants to do it. Tech and ULL are not Bama. Are you saying Napier is going to over sign classes? Good luck with that. Tech always finds its allotment of quality players. You sign how many you need on that given year. As far as having a few scholarships left for walk-ons that have earned a scholarship, I see nothing wrong with that.
