Burnt Roux: Marcus Wiltz

[NOCajun]

If you look at the current CAJUNS roster, at least 80% of the kids on there right now are from one state: LOUISIANA. Just because someone else gets a kid we were after doesn't mean we won't get someone better!!!

He may want to get away from home like I did. Of course, went completely out of state (Oklahoma State, that is!).

I was told by a cecilia alumni that he is leaning toward mcneese because UL is "too close". Does that sound relevant?

If you read the advertiser story (in the other wiltz thread) you would have read what he said about his decision to not be a cajun. He didn't want to live 20 miles from his home. It wasn't anything on ul's part.

From the advertiser...

"I've just decided that I didn't want to go to school that close. I wanted to get away from my family a little bit and kind of start out into the world on my own.''

Nothing wrong with that! That's why I ended up at UL instead of LA Tech.

I read somewhere else that he wasn't thrilled that UL had the 2 RS FR RBs from last year either - i.e. playing time for him may have been an issue. You just never know what is going on inside an 18- or 19-yr old's head.

_ We complain about not going bowling?

I complain about losing a kid 20 miles down the road.....Wonder if this would have happened had we defeated Ryan St. last season? We are having trouble recruiting our own back yard against the likes of McNeese and ULM---and we want to compete on the National Level? It should be a slam dunk that if we wnat a local kid he is ours and we obviuosly aren't there yet.

It is one thing to lose a local kid to Texas, or LSU or to see a kid we don't really recruit go to McNeese. But to lose a kid to McNeese that we want? I am hopeful that the Cajuns really didn't want this kid because we have "Bigger fish" in our sights _

Perhaps his grades were questionable....no recruit is a slam dunk, unfortunately. We move onto greener pastures!!!

ShANKLE, Walker, Sails, Roberts, and Booker. Unless he is an absolute beast, playing time would have come few and far between. I would have loved to get him signed but this is not the end of the world.

Its always best to know the whole story before jumping to conclusions. ULM doesn't have anyone in this area committed to them. Tech has one, that is not eligible. Wiltz doesn't want to come in behind Booker or Walker, regardless of what he told the Daily. We will be fine in the long run.

Don't believe what the kids say to the news media. He surely knew that there was a log jam ahead of him. There would be a lot of competition at running back and his chances of playing would be a lot better at ULM or McNeese.

He is committed to McNeese St.
