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.

Who is Memphis' recruiting connection in Louisiana, Dave? Seems like they knock on every single LA kids door!

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

I remember him getting in some trouble several weeks ago, and there was some speculation from the board whether his offer would be pulled.

I don't think anything has been expressed by the team.

We have Davis and Haynes committed, I don't think we have another scholarship unless someone else is leaving the program.

T, since you are obviously still into recruiting what made you quit doing it for the site?

I see Lambert being a better option than Hayes, Davis I think is going to be a really good one.

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.

And again, whether you are discussing rivals or 247 you just admitted they aren't updated. You also just said "Putting words in my mouth. And saying it's gone down was as simple as looking at where the class is ranked right now. "

So are you not drawing conclusions based upon where the class is ranked now (your words)? Yet you also just said no one knows for certain how good the class will be good for 3 or 4 years. I agree, so why are you proclaiming that recruiting is down after just saying no one knows for certain. Your words, not mine.

I say wait until the final rankings are released after NSD. That's all I'm saying James.

Thanks

T, are we still playing catch-up?

We only signed 12 or so last year and it looks like only 16 or so this year; are we still limited by the COVID year (at least its my opinion we over-extended to double-down on last year)?

Won't argue that, but we don't get to make the decision. Both are good backs, Haynes gives them a return specialist as well.

We have 22 public commitments, 1 more under the table from what I was told last night. We now stand at 23 commitments, but I don't know if he signs tomorrow. They will still look to add a few in February.

My youngest was diagnosed with MD when he turned 8. His care and treatments took a lot of personal time including two different clinical trials for 2 years each. One at Duke's Children and the other at Cook's Children's Hospital in Ft. Worth. Like many, my business took a hard hit during covid. I just didn't have the time to do it on the side.

I don't follow it like I use to, simply don't have the time. But I still have friends on coaching staffs at SMU, Missouri, Georgia and USM. If I want a opinion on someone in their recruiting areas, I can get it.

Thanks for all the insight . . . It makes the board much more fun this time of the year . . .

Agree, T has this down to enough of a science that "most" on this board can figure it out.

How many total are we gonna give this year?
