The Book: UL Football Recruiting 2006

[NewsCopy]

The student-athletes taking part in the University of Louisiana's recruiting weekend are using what the NCAA calls their "official visit" to the UL campus. That's not to be confused with "unofficial visits," and there's a world of difference between the two both for the recruits and the schools involved. Unofficial visits are any visit by a student-athlete, with or without parents or spouses, to a college campus paid for by the student or the parents. The school cannot pay any expenses with the exception of three complimentary admissions (recruit and parents) to a home athletic event. "They're here totally on their own," said UL assistant athletic director for compliance Kristi Stake of unofficial visits. "They're just like any other student. They can come on the campus and look around, and they can receive admission to games. But we don't pay for anything." Unofficial visits are unlimited in number, and most recruits use them to attend collegiate games either by invitation of the coaching staff or on their own.

Fontainebleau's Bulldogs only played six football games during the 2005 season due to Hurricane Katrina, but that didn't stop Chris Johnson from garnering notice from college coaches. The 6-foot-1 1/2, 250-pound defensive end became the 10th verbal commitment to the University of Louisiana's recruiting class this week. Johnson gave Ragin' Cajun head coach Rickey Bustle a pledge following an official visit last weekend. "I liked the atmosphere, the people, the facilities," said Johnson, who took unofficial visits to Southern Miss and LSU. "I thought it was a great fit for me. I really didn't feel right anyplace else I went." Johnson, who is academically qualified, is the fifth Louisiana player to commit to the Cajuns and is the fourth defensive player and the first defensive lineman to commit. Johnson was a three-year starter at defensive end for the Bulldogs and helped lead the squad of coach Larry Favre to the Class 5A state semifinals as a junior before a loss to West Monroe. He had 45 tackles, six sacks and three caused fumbles during that season. The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com

The University of Louisiana football squad dipped into Florida - more specifically, the Fort Lauderdale area - once again for its 11th verbal commitment to the 2006 recruiting class. Linebacker Fred Davis of Ely High in Fort Lauderdale, who played only one year of high school football but made that one year count, gave UL head coach Rickey Bustle a verbal commitment over the weekend. Davis, a 6-foot-2, 235-pounder, attended Plantation High as a freshman and sophomore but did not play football. He also didn't play as a junior at Ely after transferring. "I always kind of wanted to play," Davis said, "but I ended up hanging out with the wrong crowd. I had to turn around my life and I figured football was a way to do that." Davis finished his only season with 76 tackles including 45 solo stops, two sacks, one interception and two forced fumbles for the Tigers of head coach Greg McGirt.
