We'll see if the Dawgs hold on to him. But his brother is already there, so this is a big land for La. Tech. Tech seems to be getting into the South LA area and opening some gateways.

Yea, they're really opening some gateways in Louisiana.

Good pickup. That's where he needs to be.

Its tough for Tech to convince kids 4-5hrs away in S LA to come play in Ruston. Especially good players. This is player number 3 from South Plaq.

Not big a surprise to Tech fans. He has been saying it's important for his family to stick close together and his brother, Lyle, just got moved from WR to RB

So S Plaq isn't giving us fitt"s?
sorry, too easy not to throw that out there.

Well the interesting thing about this kid is that he holds an offer from LSU per Rivals website.

It's because we did want him, but his Family ties to Tech were too strong

Can't wait to see him lined up next to Rufus Porter

I wouldn't be surprised at all if LA Tech makes a run this year at the WAC Championship because from a talent standpoint they can compete with anyone in that conference. Boise State, Fresno State & Nevada will obviously be their best competition but I wouldn't be surprised at all with the coaching staff that is in place there and the talent on offense that they go 9-3 or 10-2. I'm not saying they will but I won't be shocked if they do.

Check out the current standing of team talent and you will realize that Tech is only doing ok.It would be a major shock for tech to lead the WAC. Not saying that they will not but am saying that none of the reviews that I have read project that. Last I saw ULM was ahead of tech in the scout team rankings.

You must be batshit insane. Tech would curbstomp ULM. Tech is loaded with talent, and much faster talent, compared to ULM.
But it would be a pretty big shock to lead the WAC this year. Boise returns everyone except their CB, and we have to play them on the blue turf. If we end up with Masoli, however, it could be an interesting game. Boise can be a humiliating place to play, so no one in their right mind would pick Tech to win this game.
Playing Fresno and Nevada at home helps. We have to play Hawaii on the island, which has been a real challenge for us in the past. Idaho and Utah State, perhaps the two most improved programs of the WAC, will be in Ruston. We play the creampuffs NMSU and SJSU on the road.
The schedule sets up nice for a conference run this year with Boise being the biggest roadblock (as usual). If Boise loses to someone else in conference (Nevada or Fresno, most likely) and 3 teams end up with 1 conference loss, Tech could be one of them, and could be a co-champion. That is a very optimistic view and probably the only realistic best-case scenario where Tech could "lead" the WAC.
Remind me....when was the last time ULM had a winning season in FBS?
Posted on 7/16/10 at 5:04 pm to Jason
I think QB play will be the telling thing for La Tech. They have a pretty salty set of skill guys on offense (Molton, Livas,Paige, Cruz, Creer)and a young OL. It would seem that with what Dooley has brought in that he left the new coach a pretty solid group of athletes, so yeah, ?jason, I kinda agree with you

I was referring to recruiting ranking thus far as the thread was about a commitment that tech has received. Tech may have a faster team as you say but ulm is fast as well with one of the fastest players in the nation. I assure you that neither livas nor any of your other players is as fast as Ambrose. Would be fun to watch a game between the two schools. Ulm hasnt faired as well as as tech the last 10 years but have upset some sec schools that were clearly better than tech during that period.

Ambrose and Terry Carter (our DB) are pretty close. Here is an instance where Carter beat him in the 100m.

But we have a number of other speedsters, including one our latest DB recruits who laid down the fasted 110m hurdle time in the nation last year.

Which year? This year? We only have 2 announced commitments right now, but it is way to early to evaluate a recruiting class.

your reaching on Carter back to 2007. Not trying to bust your bubble but Ambrose has been coached up to an elite level. Your db is fast at hurdling but also is not close in speed. Dont feel bad very few elite track and field stars in the US are as fast as Ambrose. I didnt raise the issue of speed. The thread was started regarding a recruit for this year. I simply went to Scout.com to see how Tech was doing this year in recruiting as compared to ulm. Scout reflects that ULM is recruiting better to this point.

You are actually arguing the point even though he gave you a link that shows they have actually raced each other in a sanctioned track meet and Carter beat Ambrose? Some people just can't be reasoned with.

2007 ? Ambrose was not even in college then.I thought you were reasoning that Tech was presently a fast team and that Carter was as fast as ambrose. i simply do no recall seeing Carter as competition for Ambrose in recent meets. Please someone with technical skills Google Luther Ambrose and post the fastest times in 100m sanctioned by ncaa so that reason may be had by all.
Posted on 7/17/10 at 1:02 pm to ulmtiger
Ncaa 100m dash june 2010 will reflect that the only football player in america faster on that day is Jeff Demps Fla. Ambrose a soph at time of run.

That is nice and all. Not saying he is not super fast and I am not saying he is not faster than Carter, but it is hard to compare the two when they very rarely run the same event at the same meet. The conditions vary from one meet to another, so Ambrose may have put down that 10.19 with better than average track conditions. He did get some wind assist on that run (1.3). Terry Carter was running the 200 at that meet, so we can't really compare how they would have done head to head.
Nevertheless, track speed and football speed are not always the same thing. Our defense plays with great speed and GATA spirit.

We had decent speed on offense last year, but this year we should be MUCH faster with Creer, Molton, Paige, and Casey joining the group.
