Walker Howard to Louisiana

[no1cajunfan]

Sources close to this player have confirmed that Walker Howard is transferring to the Cajuns!!!!!!!

I'm optimistic but also skeptical. If he does enter the portal, you better believe a ton of teams would be contacting him. What's our NIL $$$ looking like?
He would be HUGE addition. Hopefully he comes back to Lafayette.

We wont use NIL money to bring him in or barely any. Des has stated on numerous occasions that we will use NIL to RETAIN our talent not to bring guys in.

I dont think money is his main motivator at this point. It's being home and a chance to play.

[sunbeltsports]

That's what I'm leaning towards. He sat behind Jayden Daniels, Nussmeier, and Jaxson Dart. I feel like the dude just wants to play ball. Just not sure if money plays a small factor.
I want to see him ball out in cajun field

[Big Buds]

Yes. Walker is coming home and will be a Cajun by the Spring semester.

[Esqueleto]

This is great news. Now we need to find some OL transfers that can help with all we're losing.

If the players wants to come in and the coaches agree, bring on the competition. It's been established that Des will not use NIL to bring in players and nobody is promised a starting spot. Best man wins the job, that's how you build championship programs.

NIL and the Transfer Portal promote instant gratification, transfer to us and get your chance to shine. The mindset of "work while you wait" is being abandoned. These young athletes are finding out that false promises are being made with little regard for their future.

The consequences of NIL and the Transfer Portal are coming, team unity, depth, and motivation will all be impacted and it won't be for the better.

It's amazing how so many "big time" local players look for greener pastures in far away lands when, many times, the greenest pasture is already right here under their feet!

They want to see what it's like to play in front of 80000+ fans....not the 8000 at the swamp...

That point gets ignored here regularly

Why on Earth would a 19 year old athlete want to transfer to a larger school, with better facilities, better amenities, better party scene, better resume name recognition, etc.!?
