Louisiana Tech scored a big-time commitment late Saturday night when four-star Livonia senior defensive end Will Baker pledged to the Bulldogs.
The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Baker chose Louisiana Tech over offers from Arizona State, Arkansas, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Tulane among others.
However what it boiled down to was Baker simply didn't want to leave Louisiana.
"That mean a lot to me, staying inside Louisiana," Baker said. "I like rural areas. It was kind of perfrect where Louisiana Tech is act. I feel like their program is on the come up. I feel they can make something happen.

Baker: "so, what is there to do in Ruston?"
Coach: "ummm...not shite"
Baker: "where do I sign?"

Good luck to him, but is he serious about playing in the NFL? I can't believe he turned down Michigan to go to La Tech.
I suspect some big ten coaches will still try to flip him.

Ruston has plenty to do for students 
It's not a great town for post grad but the town is centered around the university and students.

This is great news. I hope he keeps his commitment to us. I will be much more excited once he signs on the dotted line on signing day. We will see what happens.

Well it didn't help. Additionally the girls at Arizona State are out of this world. I would also say Minnesota has better girls than La Tech given the Swedish and Norwegian genetics. But let alone what he gave up football wise. Well I wish the guy luck, but I wonder if he realized what he turned down.

Louisiana Tech students go to Grambling for the parties to have fun. 10 minute drive. Nothing like a party at a HBCU.

Kid turns down a Michigan, Minnesota or Tulane education for LA Tech? Unless this kid is majoring in Engineering I don't see the wisdom in this decision.

Great decision & a great school. Their stadium is coming together pretty well. Grambling 4 miles down the road. He will have a good time there also.

LMAO! They now have passed West Monroe High School for the best football facilities north of Lafayette. It is still nothing more than a pumped up 1-AA stadium.
