Where is Caleb ranked in the state? I know he was great for LHS, but he had injury problems and is very small.

Turbine Hadnot is a safety ,not a linebacker. That was his position in high school.

Thanks, do you know if the others are projected to play a position other than they played in highschool?

By the way I saw Desormeaux play in HS he is special and contrary to what you are hearing on the radio his name is pronouced Des(er)meaux

Things are looking good

[CajunRebel]

How is this class looking compared to the class we had last year? If we can match last year's class, we will be in VERY good shape.

CF11, Caleb is a mixed bag. ZemGems has him rated as the 14th ranked running back in the state. Caleb may have had a better rating but injuries and his lack of size hurt him alot. I think he will be used as a slot back or potential small reciever, kind of like Reggie Hayes did back many years ago.

Rubin was not listed by rivals.

I understand that there are several additional committments, but the University is holding back the announcements. I know at least one of these is an awsome catch.

[Cajun1997]

There is a JC signee missing from the list,

Justin Earnest, OL 6-3, 285, Grossmont College (CA)
