It's going to be a fun year. Open the season with a bye week and then week 2 we have a rival game against Louisiana Tech. No top 25 teams this year, unfortunately. ULM isn't ready for that kind of competition. It might help bring some extra money in if we did, but that isn't our top priority right now. Possibly next year look for a top 25 team to be in the schedule.

Alright, I’ve deleted every post related to the Mocs I posted on my end. Since there wasn’t really any progression with the team, I just deleted it.


I would greatly appreciated if you guys could delete your posts related to the Mocs.... You don’t have to or anything, just be appreciated! Trying to keep the thread about ULM and if new people check the thread out, I don’t want there to be confusion.



Thank you guys for sticking with it! I’m getting this going today.

2013 Recruits Announcement

Associated Press

September 1st, 2013

__________________________


Via ULM Warhawks website, they have announced the top recruits they are going after. Looking at it, Coach Viator stayed within Louisiana and pipeline states such as Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi. He has ventured out to California and New Mexico for recruits. Good to see the coach stick to the pipeline states and build those up even more.

Quote:

Coach Matt Viator said: " I think it's really important to stick to in-state recruiting and your pipeline states. Grow them and make them stronger. Plus we aren't a big program either yet. Once we get bigger, we'll expand accordingly. We aren't targeting guys who aren't interested in us. Going after guys who have us as their top school or in their top 3 only." Via Team website.

The recruiting class looks more Defensive heavy more than anything. Targeting DT, 3 Linebackers, two safeties, and DE. Offensively a Center, Guard, Fullback and QB. Rest of the recruits are WR which is pretty smart considering next season ULM will have 5 Senior WR's. Only 1 Senior WR this year. It is a start to turning this program around. A lot of freshman and sophmores on this ULM team.

Next Man Up | Starting QB Dexter Nass Out

Josh Frankfurt, ESPN Staff Writer

September 3rd, 2013

_____________________________


Starting Senior QB Dexter Nass goes down in practice with an MCL Sprain. Looks like he'll be out of action for the first 3 games at minimal according to Coach Matt Viator It looks like QB Anthony Walker is getting the nod and only has a few days to really get prepared for a rivalry matchup against Louisiana Tech. Speculation did have Walker winning the job anyways, even if Viator wasn't going to say anything. Nass hasn't looked good all preseason where Walker has shown some impressive stuff and way improved accuracy. QB Will Collins will be the backup.

Quote:

Coach Viator said: Bad news our QB (Dexter Nass) went down with a scary injury it seemed, but it turned out to be just an MCL Sprain. On a read option in practice, he took a hit and went to cut and avoid DT Tyler Johnson, he fell immediately grabbing his knee. After going under scans and visiting the local hospital, just a sprain. QB Anthony Walker will be prepared and be our guy until Nass is ready to go again. Also, 3rd string Center Bobby Reynolds had his leg trapped and rolled up on on a running play up the middle. He is ruled out for the season with a Fractured Tibia. Bobby and Brian Thlang were competing for the backup role at Center. Sadly, Brian will be our backup Center moving forward. Bobby will go under surgery next week on Monday and we will provide any assistance needed for a speedy recovery."
