Official Ragin Cajun Football Early Signing Day Thread for 2018

[basinbear]

Just look at his tape. Enough said.

Man lol....I looked at so much tape on all of these kids....along with dozens of others we offered.....I will have it playing in my head for weeks

Good kid. Has good speed, good hands and good height. I assume they'll probably try to put some weight on him. The offense he played in at CHS really didn't fit his skill set. He grew up a Cajun fan but leaned towards Tech early. Thank goodness the young lad saw the light. He and his parents were absolutely blown away by their one on one visit with coach Napier


O and he has a very cool uncle. 😉

CHS guidance informed me that Peter is a great kid. And he doesn't throw around compliments lightly. Ya'll done good......

Here are the recruits according to 247 Sports that have not signed as of yet, let me know if I am missing anyone. 247 only has 22 committed, so I am sure there are others.

Chandler Fields
Logan Newell

Ja'Braylon Spencer

From tapes you saw, which player do you think is most likely to help us early in his career?

[talktomewillis]

Napier was just on 1420.

"I'm surprised we were able to get a few of these kids, to be honest with you."

They will hold a pair of scholarships for the spring. Will probably go after best available defensive players. Could be leaning JUCO here.

Seven players will enroll early. Nape mentioned a couple but said for the most part he couldn't talk about it publicly.

Could tell he was pretty excited about what was happening.

I figured Fields would have been one of the first signees.

This is an unreal class. I don’t think people fully grasp the quality of this class. 3 consecutive classes like this is a program changer.

Any surprise signings? How many are in the bag so far?

There are several that we've signed that have a good chance to contribute as frosh.....because we are so thin at MLB....one to keep an eye on is Guidry....

Going to go way back with this comment, but this class is going to be a culture changer as was Aggie T's second class that included Roy Henry, Ron Irving, Keith Walker, Randy McClannahan, Keith Muir Dave Oliver, and others who really turned the program around...many of this guys were recruited by Boomer and I guess Bear..

Trying to follow updates on this school is infuriating .. 18 pages on signing day thread and 16 of them are nonsense and personal conversations

Can we not get a sticky thread for official announcements like these, with a moderator to weed all this out?

Up to the minute I do believe.
