Since I'm not too familiar with how these sites work I have one question. Where is lists "Interest Level", is it referring to the school's interest in the player, or the player's interest in the school? :confused:

Denham Springs football coach Dru Nettles remembers enough about another former lightly-recruited, undersized center out of Denham Springs High making quite a name for himself.
A decade after Shannon Roubique distinguished himself over his four-year career at Auburn, the school has produced another such candidate in Ian Burks, a three-year starter under two different head coaches.
The 6-foot-3, 260-pound Burks, whose father and two uncles both played collegiately at LSU, decided to continue his own career with a commitment to the University of Louisiana following an official visit over the weekend.
"He's going to have great feet and be strong and be able to anchor down the middle," Nettles said of Burks. "A lot of people here in town talk about his body. Shannon Robique wasn't recruited real big out of Denham Springs and went to Auburn as an undersized center. Ian's the same way. He'll be about 270 and be a good college player."
Burks selected co-Sun Belt Conference champion Louisiana La. over UL-Monroe and Southeastern. He gives the Ragin' Cajuns their third commitment, joining Catholic of New Iberia fullback Matt Desormeaux and St. Thomas More place-kicker Tyler Albrecht.
"I've been kind of thinking real hard about where I wanted to go,'' said Burks, who is academically qualified.

Things are looking up in Cajun land....Originally Posted by SwampHound
Any information on the list of additional recruits on this visit, Also whats our next big weekend and which kids might be coming.
Any guys that might actually be good enough to be on scout or rivals?Originally Posted by JMVCAJUNS
Tyler Albrecht should be on rivals if he already isn't. I go to STM and am a student trainer on the football team and at one point in the year he was 3-3 from 50+ yards. I get to watch him in practice every day and this guy would regurally make 55 yarders. I know that practice is much harder than a game, and college is much harder than hig school, but none the less he has talent. The only question is whether or not he has the mental ability to stay solid, but I feel he does. This guy is going to be good. Take my word for it.
What about his kick offs?? Has he had many touch backs this past year???Originally Posted by T-Col
