That would be great.

No one is saying lower ranked guys never make it. They often do. Some of those guys listed were 2 and 3 stars. There's nothing wrong with taking a couple shots like that every class. Again, my point from the beginning was that it's concerning that 2/3 of the list were zero stars. 2/3!

Yes James, but you just contradicted yourself here by saying the Rivals Ranks are incomplete because not all the athletes are rated yet. That's the point I've been trying to make you see.

"The avg ranking only accounts for the commits that have a ranking. So, if we have 5 commits with a ranking and 10 without, the avg comes from the 5. We have some good guys at the top. Really bummed about the guys who decommitted, but that's just how it goes."

Let's be honest here, if has everything to do with not trusting Des and the staff. I get it, but that is the root of the complaints here and several have admitted it. They didn't like the Des hire, thought it was a cheap decision.

My point all along has been to wait until all classes are graded. But please don't make the argument that the class is terrible on one hand because a number of commitments have not been graded, then say the class is not graded when presented with the current rankings.

That's all I'm trying to say here.

They are working on him. He's got some great offers, all out of state. Perry is helping in trying to sway him.

So many people keep missing what you are trying to say here about the players that aren’t ranked/rated yet and why they aren’t.

[CajunVic]

I know we talk about who has offers to where and what not. But just putting this out there.

Do you guys remember us recruiting this kid?

https://247sports.com/Player/Andre-J...school-189618/

Kid was a 2 Star with no other offers, not FCS, Southland, SWAC, ETC, no other offers. Think he worked out pretty good for us.

How about this kid?

https://247sports.com/Player/Bralen-...school-188525/

This kid?

https://247sports.com/player/kameron...eaux-46047942/

This kid, who was not even listed on 247 sports.

https://www.maxpreps.com/la/lafayett...=n1bmccld1cu00

Or this kid, who wasn't even recruited by his local college SBC team.

This young man, tearing it up in the NFL.

https://247sports.com/Player/Robert-...school-137531/

This young man, playing in the NFL

https://247sports.com/Player/Kevin-D...-school-98233/

I could go on and on, but none of these guys were highly recruited kids in high school and each one of them made a huge impact on the Cajuns.

one last one, how about this transfer from Alabama State that might just go on to play in the NFL.

https://247sports.com/Player/Michael...school-265908/

Check out his offers out of HS, a total of 1 school, Alabama State.

Hey Jeweler, this may be is representative of the 10 you complaining about . . .

Yesterday, Moses wasn't rated.

[Turbine]

6-6 results and we have the best program in the G5?

Judge not by the year you are in.

A win Saturday and this "program" is averaging 9-wins over the last 5 years.

If S&C dictates success then where does talent and coaching come into play?

Please save this & repost for Dec 2023 and every year til it's my turn to go to heaven.

Have a hunch we'll experience Deja vu on this every recruiting cycle

[Hudsheen#Fired]

I see jaylen Lawrence still listed as a recruit. I thought I read something about his offer being pulled

Maybe you are thinking of someone else. I never said anything about the Rivals rankings being incomplete. I don't ever look at rivals. Only 24/7. And yes, when I said, looking at the class now, it's taken a nose dive. Neither you nor I know how it will turn out in 4 years. Putting words in my mouth. And saying it's gone down was as simple as looking at where the class is ranked right now. I don't care who the coach is.

[RaginDave]

We need to get this kid. He originally committed to Texas State, but decommitted when Spatival got canned.

He would be a great addition to the Cajuns.

[JamesTheJeweler]

It won't be very long that it won't really matter who coaches your team. It will only matter which teams have the most money to buy the best players. It's already that way at the very top of the food chain. But a bottom feeder will be able to quickly move toward the top if the money is there, regardless of who the Coach is. How would coaches feel if the schools would start cutting coaches salaries from 6-7-8 or 9 million a year down to about 1 or 2 million a year and start putting that saved money into NIL deals instead? The poo poo would hit the fan and then I bet you would hear many more screaming for change.

Speaking of which. I'm interested to see if SMU starts to take a steep climb. They still got money. Gitty up pony express!
