Ragin' Cajuns football recruiting: current UL commits list

[CajunEXPRESS]

Dude, the reason your walk on players generally get scholarships is because someone with a scholarship failed as a player, citizen, or student. Nobody is saving scholarships for Rudy.

Anyway it's nice to know y'all not paying attention to lil old UL.

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.

We gave a scholarship to a former walk on last week. Very emotional moment for his family. Guy obviously earned it through his play on special teams. Still, you want those to be rare.

Where'd that scholarship come from Mike? A failed scholarship player from another class. That's where most of these junior, senior scholarships come from.

Napier can sign athletes on the first day of practice that will count towards the next class. He will sign 25 this year, and we will still not be at 85 scholarships yet do to the sanctions. The Blue Shirt rule allows him to do it. Awarding scholarships to walk-ons is nothing new, Napier awarded five during the spring and several more this fall. There is nothing wrong with it and it allows athletes the opportunity to work hard and be rewarded for their efforts.

Failed scholarship players are a fact of life in every program. That's why teams are able to stay within the 85 scholarship limit even though they sign 20-25 players each year. Some that sign find that they just can't cut it at this level. Others turn out to be criminals. Some get hurt. Some are just lazy and quit.

and your point is?

It's not a plan, it's a fall back position which is fine

It was a guy who is a starter on three special teams. Very touching moment from the presentation I saw. Not sure how many years the guy has left. Probably was from someone that did not work out.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Quickly can you name him without looking?😂

Of course it's from a failure. We used all our scholarships


and fall back is again a good thing. It's just not really a plan. Just like turnovers are good fortune teamed with hard work

Apparently there is no truth to the rumor that this thread is about players committed and hopefully signed by the cajuns. I didn't care to read the series of posts moved from "fire bobby marlin" when they were originally posted and don't care to see them here. Perhaps the administrators should create a permanent folder named "B____, Moan, Gripe, Whine and Belittle" to put all of the negative comments that becomes of most every thread. Just saying.

Quintlan Cobb, Kendall Wilkerson, and Neal Johnson are missing from this list.

I think I read here on the Cobb might not qualify. What about Wilkerson and Johnson?

List was generated in early December, prior to those commitments.

You, sir, win the post award today.
