"We signed some amazing talent, some guys we feel fit our program," Hudspeth said. "We recently signed the number one running back in the nation, Qyen Griffin. 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."

uh huh...

wow, pretty impressive that a kid no one thought would qualify scored that high on his ACT. Either its a miracle, or there is more to the story.

How long's it been since he took the last one? I mean if it's been a year and a half, maybe there's been some maturity. If it's been six months, then it's a little iffy, because 25 is a solid score if I remember correctly.

I won't hate. That's a solid get. Probably the best in the belt this year. Just curious, has any sunbelt ever signed a number position prospect? GO CAJUNS on this one!

Oh no doubt. Great get Cajuns!

Red Flag.....going up....

Nice get...the story us a tad over-exaggerated, but good get. He may have been the #1 RB in Mississippi, but the nation...nah...

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.

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.

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.

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,

Z, I wasn't commenting on that but rather the future responses this thread would garner.

Wow, #1 RB, #1 FB, #1 Spring game attendance! ULL Cajuns unstoppable this season! Go Cajuns!

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.

The reason he was only rated a 2* in rivals is due to the fact that he played on the defensive side of the ball up until his senior year I believe. Also, he does have a rivals profile under his full name Qyendarius Griffin as a 3* RB
