Jean looks absolutely incredible. 6-6 with 95 speed and 86 catch as a freshman?! I can only imagine what he is going to look like as an upperclassman. Real excited to see how he factors into the offense. Hall looks like a monster too as a man cover corner.

Not the highest rated class, but some huge pieces in place.

Can you remember the days when even snagging a three star recruit was considered a massive plus for you, now your recruiting guys like Jean who will shape yet another dominant team for Tulane

Thanks man...Jean was one of those guys that just suddenly appeared in the off-season recruiting process. It was between Tulane and Alabama, with Alabama leading all the way until week 4 of off-season recruiting. He committed to the Wave after a visit.

I'm excited to see what he does in our offense. With that height and those great ratings, I don't see any reason why he can't be a focal point of our offense very early in his career. He has Calvin Johnson-esque attributes and now he and my new redshirt freshman QB Jimmy Williams will grow up together. I'm pumped!

Yeah man...hard times. Those first few years were rough on the recruiting front.

I am okay with this class, it is very top heavy. Jean will be a star.

All those guys leaving school early kind of screwed me though. It's left me with 7 open roster spots for this season, which has never happened to me. It kind of sucks not having quite as much depth as I am used to or not being able to redshirt as many guys as I'd want.

That size & that jumping ability for a freshman...wow.

Gotta love those years when you can snag the #1 ATH, #1 CB, and #2 C (all rated 82+) in-state.

Looking at the roster, you'll definitely need to get some guys on the o-line in the next class, but certainly looks like you have the talent to contend for another SEC title.

Yeah I don't think I have ever had a player like this. Should be interesting to see. He could very well become my first true superstar WR. He looks like Megatron in practice.

I think we look very solid on paper, not quite as impressive as my last roster though. In theory, we should be in contention, but I must admit that I am very unsure about my rusty stick skills.

Thanks for checking in!

I'm so jealous of Jean, that bro would be beast in my Run N Shoot offense at UH lol
