Zeon Chriss

When he got here, we had nothing. Not even our pride.

Rickey left this place infinitely better than the way he found it.

Absolutely. I know Mike has Viator as an offensive analyst now. Often wonder if that changed if Ricky would be in favor of that position, with his old student. Is he still coaching?

I believe he is the HC at Athens Christian School in Athens, Ga. Or at least he was most recently.

When Desmo, Fenroy and Chery were all healthy, that might have been the sickest offense I've seen at Cajun Field.

Consider others on that roster in 2008: Zanders, Blount, Rolle, Lewis-Buchanon, Melvin White, Orkeys Auriene, Derrick Smith, Pierre Hil, Dwight Bentley. Defense was loaded.

This is correct. I saw Brad Bustle when we were at ODU. I asked if Rickey would be attending Tyrell Fenroy's HOF induction. That's when he told me about Rickey coaching HS.

Far be it from me to toot my horn, but.....toot toot!! I've been telling yall Zeon is our QB1 since the first time he stepped on the field with that Cajuns jersey. This kid is a star!!! If you can't admit that he is the best QB on that roster, (and its not even close) you just don't want to be wrong. This is the Zeon era. Hang on for the ride!!!

Did you stop to think we were hiding him?

Need to play CF and not show ZC until beginning of next year when it’s to late to poach him. I could see a scenario where ZC gets offered big NIL, CF transfers out as a graduate and we have only Lunch and the kid from CHSBR on the roster next year. That’s if he follows through on his commitment and signs. I guess Des would be forced to use the portal in that case.

We need to stop this “hide ____ so he doesn’t get poached with NIL” business. We need to play those guys who put us on the best position to win now, and if it is a younger guy with room to develop in the process, great.

We still have zero losses in the SBC West. You don’t bench anyone who gives us the best chance to win at their position because you’re afraid they’ll be tempted by trash trial lawyer money to go down the road. If they make that choice, so be it.

We’ll have to just move on and next man up.

The portal/NIL mean play your talent now, win now, because you have no idea how long you will have them. THAT is the new reality.

No, CF is the backup and that is the right move. Winning is the HC first priority and developing athletes to build your program is part of the responsibility. There is no hiding Zeon, every staff has someone in their organization tracking other program's rosters. Napier's staff knows who he is, Kelly's staff knows, Missouri's staff knows, Memphis and others.

It looks liked on some of the plays that saints put t.hill at qb, that care was still on field at wide out. Seemingly ignored but possibly open

[CrazyCajun]

Trying to hide your best players is a great way to gaurantee somebody else will be coaching them.
