_ So Bakari's a no go as well?

CajunT said yesterday that Bakari is holding out for any BCS school offer which may leave him without a spot with the cajuns... but I believe he still is visiting this weekend.

_ Good luck to Evan. But don't blame the staff. Tatford had an offer from UL long ago. He kept waiting to see if he could get a better offer. Fact is he didn't and the new staff felt he fit better at OL than TE so now he has to settle for tulane and the excitement that is the Bob Toledo regime (for however much longer it lasts). _

Tulane is recruiting quite well. I do not think Toledo is much of a coach, but he is putting together a solid class.

Over the years we have won very few head to head recruiting battles with Tulane, lets hope Hud can change that.

Some football players are not built for excitement. Tulane and their 10 fans are sometimes a good fit for certain athletes. I still think about our players back in the Stokley days when we throttled Tulane in the Dome, with both Mitchell and Delhomme, saying that Tulane players were the most foul-mouthed players they had ever played against. This surprised our football players. They thought that Tulane was Ivy League-ish and would be a classier bunch. That was a joke.

I went to school with the Tadfords, they are good people. Smart kids. Good luck to Evan.

Yes best of luck to Tatford and any and all recruits where ever they go! It is an honor just to be recruited to the college level at any sport. Tatford and my son played on an AAU basketball team together as Freshmen. Very nice kid, he grew several inches in high school to 6'6" my son grew to 6'2".

His decision came down to Tulane and Memphis. He had the opportunity to play TE at both schools. The opportunity to advance his education at Tulane was 2nd to none, as he aspires to go to dental school.

He places dental school ahead of playing OL at UL?!

From all I've heard he's a great young man. I just love opportunities to take pot shots at Toolame.

Best of everything in life Evan Tatford!

Sometimes getting a free ride to a $100k tuition university is hard to pass up

Its far more understandable to lose them to Tulane rather than Tech.

(Not referring about the Tech commits this year, with Hud having to catch up, etc)

Anyone hear that Tatford is leaving Tulane?
