He's a great one. The reason we got him is because nobody thought he was going to be eligible. Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Alabama backed off because they felt he wasn't going to make it. We stuck with him and found a way and he just popped a 25 on his ACT."

He was a Rivals All American, son. He was rated one of the top 5 in the Nation. Funny thing is we also signed the #2 fullback in the nation after he decommitted from Kentucky. Either way, your guys will have numerous cleat marks running up and down their sses by UL running backs for years to come.

Do some research before making a silly ssed remark.

The kid is a 2 star unranked player on Scout...that is my research. Rivals passes out stars and rating like candy. Please see the link below.

I don't see a problem. Kid never took the ACT before. He banged out a 25. If the NCAA flags it, so be it.

If he doesnt play this year, he will next year.

Friend of ULM, dig a bit deeper. He was a Rivals All American. I dont give a *&%$& whether he was 1 star or 47 stars. The kid was rated in some circles as one of the best at his position.

Yours Truly,

I'm gonna play devil's advocate for a second, Z. First I'll say this kid probably is a very good player. Him and a top rated fullback will be trouble for everyone, much more than than all the blabbering about what your coach is going to do, when he hasn't done anything yet. So if you're gonna brag about something, this would be where to do it.

On to me playing devil's advocate and play the "other side." He only has two stars on rivals. Why? Is it possible this list wasn't an official rivals all american team, or that this was more of the opinion of one senior analyst with very little though put into this? He has a few more two and three star rivals guys on his list. Maybe the regular part of rivals didn't think he was as good. In fact, he doesn't even have a rivals profile, only a scout profile, where he is also a two star.

Again, he probably is a very good player, but lets wait and see. I'm not ready to call him a high school all american based on what one senior analyst wrote on rivals.com.
