Hope he comes. If not, he may end up like Colston at Hofstra

So the Saints will get him in a few years? I'll take it!

Not to be a Debbie Downer here but it seems like the staff is all in on Dupre and looking into Porter (visits the 24th weekend) and Rushing (visits the 31st weekend). Sucks but looks to be the extent of our WR recruiting at this time.

To be fair, Dupre is quite better than the other 3. After that, it becomes a crapshoot.

You have to like Porter at 6'5" and has only played 1 year of football after playing basketball most his high school career. I would put Porter and Holland very close to each other. Rushing doesn't impress me in the least bit and I wonder what the staff sees in him

agreed. especially on the bold part.

Here's one likely difference maker: Holland is likely an instant commit if offered with a visit. Rushing does not seem to be fully onboard, not real clear about that. Porter I have no idea admittedly.

I am also wondering whether there has been any contact with coaching staff by the Hollands. What is the status?

I really hope he doesn't end up at Hofstra.

You know with them not having a football team anymore and all.

Emanuel Porter
Well Porter recommitted to TCU today and it seems as though the 247 guys think it's gonna be Rushing and Dupre and that's it. I hope Holland gets a look but doesn't seem likely right now.

Why are they not giving Holland an offer. Looks waay better physically, and technically (route running). You can teach the little things once he gets on campus. Really want to see him in P&G.

I don't know what the coaches are even thinking, kid is a take on both sides of the ball, and we got the open spots...just crazy!

I really don't get what the staff sees in Rushing. Pretty sure you could find 5-6 Rushings in Louisiana every year
