-then he said something that I didn't catch the end of; He said, "There's only one thing that could hurt this program at the end of this season is..." I missed it so if anyone knows what he said, please add.

That's all i got. _

"There's only one thing that could hurt this program at the end of this season is...the draft." I just read somebody's post on delphi that talked about this statement too.

I just hope that if drafted a Cajun does not land up on the triple A team that consistently beat the team in Jefferson. Cause I will pull for the former Ragin'Cajun over any pro team in any sport.

Seriously I think he was talking about the draft taking some of the kids we signed for the 08-09 season school year. How good could that be if they show up?

This really gets me pumped...I saw 4 of the Fall WS games... The freshman seemed to be really good.. not just pretty good... Certainly Griffin... I thought Whipple was a true freshman. no? And the kid from Lafayette High... then we start talking about the pros dipping into our 2007 class? Wow... The teaching and experience they get under Robe is pretty darned valuable and when you add to that fact of getting your education I think it would take a lot of $$$'s to lure them away

Pros can't touch the freshman class of 2007 for a couple more years.

apparently Griffen was offered a lot of $$$'s, but he came anyway.

Just looked it up, Travis Whipple is a Red Shirt Freshman

Not too sure, Arnold. He also could have been talking about the guys that will be Jr's this year. There's currently 11 of them listed on the Fall Roster, including Hawkins, Farquar, Matt Hicks, B Lafleur, and Wilborn. I think I mentioned before that Wilborn will have surgery, so really only 10. You know, Arnold, if I were him, I would certainly be worried about Hawkins being drafted, and maybe one of the others if they stepped it up huge this year. Maybe Farquar, but he's a little slim and not sure if he would get enough of a look this year to warrant him leaving.

So, after that little analysis, and after remembering some of the things about the signee's they announced a couple weeks ago, there's a pretty good shot that h emight have been talking about some of his recruits being snatched form him. And you're right about one thing Arnold, that would be pretty cool if they don't go and choose to come here.

From what I heard, Griffen could have been drafted as high as the 5th round and he turned down around $50,000.

Experience under Tony will get him more than $50,000 in 3 or 4 years.

Hopefully, our new class of signees follows Griffen's lead. I think Lucroy getting drafted so high after not even really getting recruited out of HS, helped with Griffen not taking the $$$$. It will probably help with our new signing class as well. It's shows that Coach Robe and the other coaches develop talent and get the most out of their players. Who wouldn't want to play for a coach like that?

John, here we go again with the Arnold? John, professional football is the equivalent of being a prostitute. It goes from the city John down to the last player, coach, and owner. For you, John, to back a particular gal only means you consistently get the ugly duckling as they strut their wares.

Love the Saints til the day you die, but you can bet at some point not to long from now they will be loved in a state and area other than an area know as MISS ALALOU Gulf Coast. Well John go drop a couple of hundred for an afternoon at the Dome. You know you will feel dirty after that thinking you should have dropped it on your Ragin'Cajun family.

Griffen turned down $500,000

Robe is worried about Hawkins, Harmon, Farquhar, and Wilbourn getting drafted. Now that Wilbourn is having surgery this will change.
