Official Ragin Cajun Football Early Signing Day Thread for 2018

[Redgineer]

This is talent wise the deepest class I've ever seen this program sign. Every prospect in my opinion is quality. With that said since I was a defensive coordinator and lean that side of the ball......the two Defensive ends, Cobb and Wilkerson are outstanding prospects and difference makers. McDaniel and Holmes are two lock down corners that I really like and the LB Guidry can be a difference maker. Again though, this class, top to bottom on paper is outstanding.

Compared to Hud's best class, how does this one compare?

The Head Coach saw game Tape.... not highlight video. Someone on this staff saw this kid practice and there is a high probability that a staff member saw him in a game. He was a great prospect. Georgia signed him. We signed two great QB prospects but in my opinion we need a JC or transfer that can come in for Spring ball. That would allow us to groom the youngsters until they are ready. And who really knows....one of them may step up this season. Napier has other irons in the fire guys. Of course he has a plan. Now you people behave yourselves so an old man can drink his coffee in peace.....😎😆

Maybe old saint Nick will bring us Hurts for Christmas

Great class so far. As far as Stetson, we can't lose what we never had. Great things are happening.

Oh, we had everything worked out to get him, but a big boy swooped in and snagged him. We just need to be extremely happy that this is the only one that this happened to.

Basin, it is exciting to hear you say this and this class is as exciting as Christmas morning for a nine year old.! I like the LB Guidry as well because we certainly have a serious need for stronger play at LB. I am hoping that, along with a QB, the staff is hunting down a few more LB's for February. It looks like the Spencer kid out of New Iberia, who is a LB, may be hesitating on commiting to the Cajuns. I'd like to see them finish this class out with another LB or two.

Spencer is signed. He will likely be a blueshirt.

This class is better. But always the qualifier.....better on paper

What positions do Legendre and Scott project to play for us?
I think i saw Legendre listed as a WR but didn't see anything for Scott.

.......I always or a lot of times missed the transition of HS players to the college level....I mean some are no brainers but the projections with age and maturation and just plain talent based upon competition can be decieving.......however the Legendre kid adds to my puzzle as he is so electrifying and yet without size and doesn’t run track......if he is the real deal in his advancement, he needs some touches or a lot of them!!!

I was in Lafayette yesterday and caught a portion of Jay Walker’s Show. He was saying you don’t know about a class for 3 years. Generally I agree, but think we will know a lot sooner. We are thin at every position other than RB so I expect 8-10 of these players to get significant playing time next year. Generally, good players don’t sit the bench at UL. They play early and often. As clutch alluded to, let’s hope Napier has another LB prospect to add.

Technically may be true.....but another QB may be on Campus before then....

I hope so. We may sign a QB in February but that means he won't be able to participate in spring practice. We need someone to enroll in January.

Good news! I was not sure where he was in all of this.

McDowell is enrolling in January

McDowell is enrolling in January

This is huge for him. He has a lot of skills and it may allow him to compete early. It will be really interesting to watch how this pans out between he and Chandler.
