How does the quality of our recruiting class look this year versus the last two years including the two LSU A&M transfers?

Switch the words 'food' and 'alcohol' around, and you will wind up with an SRO crowd!

Congratulations to these young men and welcome to the Tulane family.

I wish I could be at the party this evening. For those able to make it, please take notes and a lot of pictures for the rest of us.

Roll Wave!

Any word from someone at the party? Did anyone ask CJ about the Offense and the Price brothers?

Was wondering same thing?

Aberzombie1892 · Wed Feb 04, 2015 7:10 pm

I just left. No, no one asked about the Prices. However, CJ did state that a 3-9 season was unacceptable to him and the team plans to turn that around right away.

DfromCT · Wed Feb 04, 2015 7:14 pm

He mentioned lack of team discipline at the presser earlier in the day. I wish we'd see signs that he accepts the fact that game day coaching was horrendous as well.

waveclem · Wed Feb 04, 2015 8:35 pm

Another item of note CJ said tonight was that they already have one commitment for 2016 and looking to get maybe three more tomorrow. Also, I like the way Carter Sheridan spoke tonight. Sounds like a very confident guy, hopefully it makes him a good WR coach's.

Jonathan · Wed Feb 04, 2015 8:39 pm

The master of Tulane team discipline was Tommy Bowden and Rodrigue. When a player did something stupid on the field Bowden would walk over to him and pull him to the sidelines by his chin guard/strap cursing him out along the way. Like General George Patton the players were afraid of him for making dumb mistakes. Then he would require them to sit out the rest of the game. Toledo ,Scelfo and CJ let the players get away with no discipline. Big mistake.

It was a first class event. Very professional. The atmosphere was very upbeat. Tulane did a nice job of promoting season ticket signups and renewals. Signing up tonight included a Tulane football shirt, free basketball tickets to the UCONN game, and photo of yourself signing a letter of intent to be posted at http://www.facebook.com/TUFRMC
You had the opportunity to speak with any coach on the staff one on one. I spoke to quite a few including CJ. I asked Doug L. what was his experience with coaching LB's. He told me he coached defense all last year and he'll only be coaching a few kids that play LB. Said the kicker they signed beat out over 600 kickers at a all star camp in punting and kickoffs. He has a 5 second hang time. His avg kickoff is 79 yards. He kicks off the ground and doesn't use a tee.

First off congrats to our new signees. Welcome aboard and we're looking forward to seeing you kicking some ass.

The event was well done. By signing up to renew your season tickets you got a nice jersey type T-shirt for each season ticket. You also got a ticket to the UCONN game for each seat you have. so to be clear if you have 2 seats you got two shirts and two tickets. They also gave out autographed photos of CJ. Plenty of food. Each assistant got to talk about a few of the recruits. I was glad to get to meet LW and tell him how much we enjoy watching his defense and how much I enjoyed his playing career at Tulane. He said he hopes his D will create more turnovers next year.

As for the GFC it's nice but not nearly as big as I imagined. It's obviously long but the back wall starts to come in as you go along the room towards the south end zone as it abuts the Hertz center.

I heard Darion Monroe in a radio interview today. He brought up how they were getting better team discipline. He cited the cleaning up of the locker room as proof. I'm sorry but I'm tired of hearing that one. It's one CJ pulls out annually. Makes the team do punishment drills b/c of a sloppy locker room. It clearly hasn't worked. This is clearly a big issue /this program. Just last season we had to hear form players mid-season how they were now paying more attention in film sessions and not talking and cutting up. This staff needs to really step back and change their approach to imposing their will on this team and get them in line.

Any idea who is the 2016 commitment?

Kendall Bussey's younger brother!

Right. And this should be fixable as CJ grows into the job, or so the thinking would go. But everything that comes out of the Wilson Center comes from insanely insular thought processes and lacks accountability or urgency to succeed. That trickles down to the individual programs and you see those problems consistently through every program from Toledo to Conroy to RJ and CJ.
