i know its fun to keep secrets from everyone but why are yall not mentionming his name if he committed?

[rhineaux]

_ No one (except JC grads) can sign yet. Only verbals allowed at this point in time. _

yeah, i knew that. i meant to ask if he commited.

[CajunT]

_ Are you implying that you either expect him to, or, that we are one of his current fave's???

Or were you just saying that he just hasn't signed with anyone yet? _

Yes, if someone doesn't come back on him. He was committed to Kansas at one time, but wanted to look at other options and they pulled their offer. We will see what happens when he visits.

You will have it later today. But I usually try to confirm the commitment from the athlete first, before going public with it.

The UL Coaching staff has picked up the services of another player with incredible potential. I am not sure everyone appreciates the potential of this 2008 recruiting class.

I think that UL is benefiting hugely from the internet recruiting services affects on HS football recruiting. Players that are late bloomers, played behind a stud senior during their junior season, or played a position that was not featured by their school's scheme, are pretty much overlooked by most bigtime programs these days. Most large programs had already extended the majority of their offers, prior to anyone playing a single down of their senior season. The timetable used to be that coaches reviewed senior film in late November, extended offers in December, and guys made decisions after taking their visits. The accelerated timeline has opened the door for the UL staff to capitalize on the flawed system, and go after the late bloomers.

I am pumped!

Drumroll, when will you be able to tell us more about this guy you are so excited about. If you could, I am sure you would have given his name out.
