Congrats on probably the best signing day class ever for you guys.....I wonder though...when reality sets in, how many players will be academically ineligible to play for y'all?!

They're all going to qualify, most likely.

That's great news for Fields. He's absolutely huge. He's going to create some havoc as a 3-4 end. Delvin has 2? That guy's video is very impressive. If Tig Barksdale can not get arrested for a year, we may have a pretty imposing defense.

I'm not sure about Delvin. And yea that would be great if Tig could stay out of jail for a year.

My biggest concern about our defense will be all the new faces we're gonna have. But we're gonna have some serious talent.

I honestly have no idea right now. I've been trying to figure out that for a while. His case is pretty weird.

yea I'm really excited but really clueless about some of the guys we got. It's getting hard to keep up.

Just heard Hud on the radio say we offered Raymond Jackson a grayshirt and FIU offered him a scholarship.


He also said he'd like to redshirt most of this year's freshman class.

Tyren Alexander is our steal of the class, I think. LSU offered him a grayshirt very late in the process but he turned it down. Everyone I know who watched Breaux Bridge play this year all said that Alexander was their most impressive defender.

hendo did you go to the signing day party? I couldn't go but I'm curious, who looked the best on tape? I bet Fields and Alexander had some of the better highlights..

Yeah, I was there. Fields was an absolute truck in his video. He's strong as shite. Delvin Jones' wingspan is incredible; his whole video is him swallowing up qbs and rbs with his long arse arms. He also has a very good swim move to beat tackles. Alexander is quick to the hole and hits hard. Tig Barksdale's video is him laying people the frick out; it's awesome. Karmichael Dunbar is huge, reminds me of Justin Hamilton a bit. Our defense is going to be very athletic next season.

Couple of our offensive linemen looked pretty nasty on tape, which is always good to see.

Another guy who looked good was Jared Johnson. 6'6 220 lbs. They listed him as a tight end, so he'll probably need to redshirt. His video looked a lot like Ladarius Green, long and lanky with good yards after the catch. Powerful runner with the ball.


Got him out of Minden, La. I think Tech will be pissed that they missed out on him.
