You would think that they (UL) may play it smart by giving John some respect w/ lil Cutrera viewing how they handle this. Hmmmmmmmm.........we will have to see.

Great point.

I would hope the coaches are more balanced than the fans. We are a tad emotional, the bigger the school the more emotional the fans (it seems)

I have always contended that some of the best athletes in the world never see college in the first place because of the style of play at the High School they attended. You can NEVER discount a players abilities or room for growth when he believes in himself.

This goes for walkons in college and the undrafted in the NFL; Jake Delhomme.

Great point also on Jake's past. Whew, the Saints bobbled that so bad. Jake is the EXAMPLE everyone should pay attention to. Turbine, your one of the few on these sites w/ common football knowledge. I reside in Red Stick & graduated from USL. I know of many kids they can persue, but they seem to "slip" away. I think $$$ is still a problem @ Ul's football operations. I don't expect them to recruit kids in California or Washington state, but when they have a real "jewel" or "jewels" in Lafayette areas, well that goes without any excuses. Later my brother............

John Cutrera has a brother who made all-state LB at Acadiana High last football season. He has gotten looks from many different colleges but I do not know of any offers. From what I heard this would be a steal as a walk on, a may be worth a scholarship as we are in need of LB's. If any of you have seen him play I would like your opinion.

He knocks the snot out of people.........(1) year to go, only a junior.

What's the outlook for these new recruits?

I live in Houston now and did not realize the younger Cutrera is only a Junior in High School, this explains why there has not been any scholarship offers yet. I would still like to see him in a Cajun uni in two years.
