Tigah32,

Based on your logic, Godchaux is already pissed beyond belief because we not only offered, but actually ACCEPTED a commitment from Clapp, Voorhies, Alexander, Hardeman, and Upchurch (all of whom are rated below Godchaux). Plus, I don't think any one of them DOMINATED in Houston.

So, what does one more offer matter???

Clapp is an OG from Louisiana and a 4* prospect. He fits a major need and shows excellent run blocking skills.

Voorhies is a 4* athlete from Mississippi that can play wide out or safety. (Also he's rated higher than Godchaux by most recruiting services) Safety is a need this year.

Hardeman is a corner from Texas that did great at camps and showed promise at the nickle position, another need.

Donnie Alexander played on a dominate defense has the ideal size for Cheifs D and has a ton of speed. Adding a young OLB never hurts. Also from Louisiana.

Upchurch is a bit of a wildcard but a 6'1" 220 he shows the ability to snatch the ball out of the air. We need wide outs, I know we're suppose to have a few in '14 but we can't bank on getting commitments from Speedy, Malachi, Trey and D'haquille. Fits a need and is a good safety net.

Jared Wangler is a 6'2" 215 OLB/S. With Clifton saying we lead, Young still on the board and Alexander all ready committed we're good at LB. S is locked down with Voorhies and Paris. Not to mention the fact that Peppers, Brown and Jackson are still on the board. I know Brown and Jackson are pure CB's but if they all commit one will play safety. You don't bench that kind of talent.


My point is that Louisiana is loaded with talent and many out of state recruits are realistic targets. Our offers are extremely important this year and IMO Wangler hasn't earned one.

But let the Miles suck fest continue. I think he's an excellent recruiter and a great talent evaluator but he's too damn nice sometimes. I would hate if he's letting a personal relationship interfere with his job.

Saban's building a fricking dynasty and Miles is offering his buddies sons scholarships.
