I'm not a saying stars mean everything but he currently, as a junior, has ZERO stars on sites like Rivals and 24/7.

Stars mean a lot! . Top ten programs have all four and five star recruits. Tulane two and three stars.

Stars sell magazines.
Since 2013 Memphis has 12 3 star players and 1 4 star player. They have 2 3 Star players committed this year.
Since 2013 Tulane has 15 3 star players and zero 4 stars. We have 2 3 Star commits as well.
Memphis won 10 games last year and is 4-0 this year.
It's about the coaching and commitment from the University. End of story.

LOOKS LIKE HE STANDS TALL WITH GOOD FOOTWORK, HAS A GOOD RELEASE, NOT THE STRONGEST ARM AND INCONSISTENT IN HIS ACCURACY.

Thanks for the link, GL. From it I clicked on the link to James Smith's recruiting chat where, when asked about Tulane's class, he responded,
It has been increasingly difficult to get accurate information from Tulane sources. They have been quite tight-lipped, making it hard to get a read on where things stand. It's rather frustrating to be honest.
Anybody know what's up with that? I hope it is that they are playing their cards close to the vest to prevent poaching, but I also fear that they just don't have any good news to report. I could see the program as it now stands being a tough sell.
God Bless Everyone!

If there is any Justice to the recruiting rankings, he will be rated at least 3 stars.

This irritates me. I have faith in Fritz, but if we are forced to recruit a bunch of FCS players in January due to a lack of existing commits, I will be angry.

It's definitely frustrating that we can't seem to land a local skilled QB that would be a perfect fit for this offense. One that would have a great chance for immediate playing time. First Scott now McCoy.

Exactly. Plus, it blows my mind that we are losing recruiting battles for players in our own backyard to Kansas, Vanderbilt, FAU, and similarly vaunted institutions.

As I have pointed out recently Kansas hired Warren Easton's HC to their staff. Vandy is in the SEC. As for FAU they have a new stadium that's small but still bigger than Tulane's and they have a new Athletic Center. You also have to remember that some of these kids may just want to get out of NOLA.

I would think a chance to start in your hometown right away and get a great degree would trump but I'd be mistaken. Their stadium is listed at 29K so that's not it. I don't know about anything else. Hopefully he makes a statement as to why he choose FAU over us. Maybe because our St Aug connection coaches left? Anything else is pure speculation. Here's my speculation I think opposition coaches are telling kids we are running a triple option. And that doesn't go over with today's youth. I know it's not true but that maybe the word on the street until we actually start to play games.

I agree. WInwave, I know why Kansas received a bump in recruiting, but we should be more competitive with recruiting local athletes. Kansas and Vanderbilt are (almost) consistently at the bottom of their conferences, Kansas won no games last year, and Vanderbilt's head coach is on the hot seat and likely will be fired at the end of this season if there is not a turnaround. Tulane, in contrast, hired a (relatively) high profile G5 coach that has a history of winning, Tulane's academics are competitive or better with anyone at the FBS level aside from Stanford (depending on how one feels about Rice, Duke, and Vanderbilt), and most of these players grew up nearby and know players on Tulane's roster - Tulane should be making a bigger impact. The fact that Kansas has 2 local Louisiana players that are rated higher than any of our commits right on the 247 composite now (New Orleans and Marrero) is borderline embarrassing even if Kansas hired a local head coach as one of its assistant coaches. Heck, even Memphis has a Harvey commit that is rated higher than all of our commits except for one, and Houston has a Baton Rouge commit that's rated higher than all of our commits. We are sitting at #93 on the 247 composite team rankings, and I'm really starting to think that Fritz's decision to not hire a local head coach into his staff was a terrible one.

FYI - As of 7:53am CDT today, North Dakota State has a higher rated recruiting class than us.

Until we start winning, regardless of the new coaches reputation, we're not going to be viewed as a better program than just about any other FBS in the country. There were some games in the past couple of years where playing in front of your hometown fans would be downright embarrassing. We can only change perception with wins.

Like I said there are plenty of kids from the city that want out and their parents want them out. Then there are the facility issues. FAU has bigger and better facilities. TD is trying to work on ours. We have a loooooong way to go there. Can't overcome a problem till you admit you have one.

As I posted above some kids want out of NOLA and their families want them out too. Secondly we haven't had a lot of success with the locals we did land. A lot of issues w/the ones from NOLA. Then there are the facility issues. They are real. Ours look more like HS than legit D1 facilities. That's on Tulane not WF. As for education people need to be honest. It gets lip service from every recruit but most think they are going to the NFL and it's just not a real priority. Remember you can't look at this through your eyes it has to be through the eyes of these 18 year olds. Last but not least is that the class isn't done yet. Let's see what happens.

We have two Frosh QBs signed, one has been here since spring. We also have a redshirt Soph, maybe he felt it would be easier to get playing time at FAU. Maybe there were academic concerns. BTW, he also turned down Memphis, WVU and SMU for FAU.

Boca is a pretty nice place and the campus and the proximity to the Atlantic is a good recruiting tool.

It's nice but basically a commuter school will horrid academics.

FYI, FAU stadium is about the same as Yulman. They already have a better locker room and weight room, YET, they are finishing up fundraising (may have broke ground idk) on a $50mm complex that will include a state of the art locker room, weight room, meeting rooms, academic support AND an IPF.

Tulane, tick tock tick tock.
