"We had some very specific needs we have met with this class,’’ Wingerter said, “and it’s been a little easier this year having won a conference championship along with the new facilities we’re building here.’’

That is awesome towele thanks for the link, I had no idea we were doing so good.

Have we picked up verbals that Bustle would consider a 3 star or higher. Has the Trenches been addressed to the levels we needed?

We got a commit Kory Raymond who is a 3 star on rivals. He signed with Auburn out of HS and was commited to Ole Miss before he had an enrollement problem there. He is a 6' 4" 280lb DT.

Below is some of the article from the advocate. I think the answer to your question is a resounding "yes".

Among the group UL-Lafayette will host will be Evangel offensive lineman Jamarr Thompson, a 6-foot-8, 330-pounder, who is already committed to the Cajuns. Thompson played for East St. John as a junior and began his senior season at the Reserve-based school before evacuating to Shreveport and playing his final year at Class 1A state champion Evangel because of Hurricane Katrina.

Thompson will be joining one of his former high school teammates — Korey Raymond — after the former East St. John standout enrolled at UL-Lafayette this week with plans to go through spring drills with the Cajuns.

The 6-4, 280-pound Raymond, a defensive tackle from East Mississippi Community College, became the fifth junior-college prospect to either sign or commit to UL-Lafayette.

Raymond originally signed with Auburn out of East St. John, where he registered 63 tackles with 11 for losses. However, after falling short qualifying academically, he enrolled at East Mississippi where he played the past two seasons.

“He even played tight end for us,’’ East St. John coach Larry Dauterive said. “He has great hands.’’

Raymond, rated No. 73 among the Rivals.com Top 100 junior-college prospects, signed with Ole Miss last month but recently learned he would not have been eligible to play for the Rebels until the fall because of a nonpassing grade he received in a core course at East Mississippi.

“He expected to go through spring,’’ Dauterive said. “He didn’t want to sit out because he knows how important the spring is. So he’s enrolled at UL-Lafayette.’’

The addition of Raymond continues to bolster UL-Lafayette’s defensive line, an area that was addressed earlier this week with the signature of defensive tackle Lamar Waiters (6-3, 285) of Pierce (Calif.) College, who is also enrolled in school, along with a commitment from defensive end Greg Hawthorne (6-3‰, 265) of East Central (Miss.).

The Cajuns also signed junior college offensive lineman Hildebrando Ramos in December and have a commitment from Damian Jones (6-5‰, 300) of Copiah-Lincoln (Miss.) Junior College.

If all holds as we see here, I cannot remember us getting this much size in one class before

The Advocate said we had 21 commits, I only count 20?

Here is what Jones's JC coach had to say about him on Rivals

Damien Jones is probably the most athletic of the lineman we have on the football team. He can probably run a 4.8, He just has all kind of athletic ability; he just hasn’t played much football. His best ball is ahead of him, just by learning the game and learning what to do as an offensive tackle. -Co-Lin C.C. coach Glenn Davis

I was thinking the same thing, we are definitly getting some huge guys in here. You have to think that quite a few of them will get some good playing time next year.

The Center coming in should be starting next year to take Hodges place, I think if he works out our running game won't miss a beat with Fenroy and now Wallace in the backfield.
