They certainly took every major defensive player and OL from the NOLA area. Would be even better if Lyn Clark hadn't decommitted.

Looks like they spent a lot of time at JC

Hahahaha...I think I like this side of Memphis....

Also, Voelkel turned down a ULM scholarship to take a grey shirt with the Cajuns.

---

The programs are comparable, and both have excellent coaches.

I've been to both those campuses, though, and I can easily explain why he took the grey shirt: Location, location, location.

Any of the names some of you guys may recognize, maybe you can give me a quick rundown of what you know about them?

Asking me?
