Walker Howard to Louisiana

[Swamp]

You’re either agreeing with me or completely misinterpreted my comment. Regardless I'm happy to have him here.

Its all good. I agree with you.

Its all good. I agree with you.

Hope he’s everything we think. I still hope this signing brings some additional talent our way; especially in the trenches!
I’m hoping to make the trip next season, most likely for the Texas State game.

If you have any contact information on that, could you send it to me? I would also like to give to that. I find that a very worthy cause.

Check your PM.

How big is Walker? He looks pretty thick.

Man I really hope he can step in and take the reins. Become a Cajun legend and allow Beale/Lunch to continue to grow as a QB and step in as a 2yr starter.

While I am very happy that we got a talent like Howard to come here, unlike many of you, I don't care whether he is from Lafayette, LA or Lafayette, IN. The whole concept that any university can build a great program with just local recruits is terribly flawed.

Football is a team sport. With 5 years to play 4, UL must sign an average of 17 players a year [assuming no losses to injury, transfer, grades or whatever]. Lafayette, or even Acadiana, does not produce 17 FBS players a year, even if you do not consider that an appropriate mix of positions must be part of each class.

I know it gives us something to argue about, which is half the fun on a message board; Just like the debate about hiring a local anytime a coaching vacancy happens, it is something fun to debate.

Ultimately I believe we actually all want UL to hire the best available coaches who will then recruit the best available players, regardless of where either comes from.
