I watched the replay of the West Monroe/Carencro game, Nixon looks very athletic and I could see him at OLB, is there any way we get #5 Alex Johnson, I hear his grades are the issue.

Alex Johnson will end up in Junior College.

I meant by the time he is a Junior.

80-90% of the juniors on any team should be in competition for a starting position.

Boomer's fan criteria for evaluating our recruiting class isn't a bad one. In reality, there isn't a single person on this forum that doesn't use these same criteria. Some of those criteria are easier to access and assess by most and we all weight their validity differently. That "secondary sexual criteria" is simply a component of an evaluation of the anticipated maturing level of the specific individual based on a number of factors. This forum isn't going to have a healthy discussion on that component.

As for the "star system"... we've beat that horse to death. My personal belief is that this forum (including my own) positive opinion of the recruit star system will increase as UL gets more 3 and 4 star players. Our past opinions were both valid and hypocritical... as we've been defending our lackluster "number of stars". 95% of the subjective arguments we gave are still valid... but when we get on the other side of that fence... we're all going to be basking in the "starlight". Just wait and see...

But... have no fear... UL will have numerous 2 star recruits out shine their 3 and 4 star competition.

My biggest liking of the improved number of 3 and 4 star players is the implied improvement to our program more than the reality of it. It will provide our program more notoriety and respect right out of the box. It creates more buzz in the fandom and that is always a good thing. In the end... no matter what... recruiting more universally acclaimed "stars" is a benefit to our program.

Oh... and congratulations Landor!

Post is on the money---BTW did you notice that a certain 2 star CB out of NO got a lot of playing time this year while a 3 star guy from the greater Acadiana area was red shirted????

D'Shaie Landor readily admits that as a sophomore starter at Teurlings Catholic he had a lot to learn.

It's no different now that he's a redshirt freshman at UL, competing with Texan Brooks Haack to be the Ragin' Cajuns' backup quarterback behind starter Terrance Broadway.
