Redshirt him?!

This player is getting on the field day 1 my friend. I took Jean's height advantage for granted and we can desperately use more playmakers on offense. Someway, somehow, this young man will be playing in year 1.

Upgrading team speed has been a priority in the early going in recruiting; we aren't done with that yet (hopefully).

Thanks I.D....Hopefully this begins to make things right again. I'm pumped to see this player next season.

Haha, yes...if either of those things you just described happened in one of my games, that certainly would be enough cause to replay it. Thankfully, 14 seasons in, nothing egregious enough like that has happened up to this point. :::knocks on wood:::

In my experience, a guy with at least C- cth is more than competent enough hands-wise. Things get very dicey once they go down to D+/D...in fact, I pretty much don't recruit those guys. With Lawson's 4.32 40 time (95 spd rating I believe) and size, I think he should be good enough to make plays in the early going. We desperately need a playmaker and I believe he fits the bill.

You're right though, Jean was a cut above and it would be a mild surprise if he produces at that level, especially early on.

He will definitely get the opportunity. It'll be fun to parallel those two players during Lawson's career.

Thanks man...We must turn this thing around here in this matchup versus Miami. If we blow this one, then yeah, we probably can go ahead and chalk this one up as being a rebuilding year. Fortunately we still have time to turn it around and we do still have conference play to look forward to.

Haha, so do I. We've had quite a run of bad luck lately, so it was kind of a relief to finally get something to go our way.

A big part of our recent downfalls in recruiting has been due to the talent pool in Louisiana seemingly going down for a few years, but the last couple of seasons have been pretty good in terms of available good players in the area. There's no doubt that Lawson being Louisiana home grown gave us a big advantage over the competition and I'd also like to go ahead and pretend that he looked up to Ryan Jean in his youth .


Appreciate the feedback fellas!
