Quiett is not listed on rivals, and we still have 14. Bakare would be 15 ?RobertM320 wrote:Joshua Quiett decommited a few days ago.
I notice you only raise your snide comments when the players other offers fit your narrative. Why no comment from you when we Jason Swann committed? Maybe because he had offers from Mississippi State, Syracuse, NC State, Cincinnati and ECU? He didn't fit your agenda, so you just didn't say anything.ajcalhoun wrote:Good to see we can still beat out Stephen F. Austin and Texas A&M Commerce for recruits.
His team is 7-1.... I wonder how many BIG name schools Tulane beat out for Forte and Darkwa among others....ajcalhoun wrote:Good to see we can still beat out Stephen F. Austin and Texas A&M Commerce for recruits.

As I recall, Forte was being heavily recruited by the SEC schools, including the one in Red Stick. But they all were recruiting him as an athlete, and wanted him to play db. Mewelde Moore was a similar recruit. We were the only one or one of the only ones to offer both as RB. Moore's first carry at Tulane he went about 40 yards after blowing up two or three tacklers behind and at the line of scrimmage. According to a story I was told, Scelfo said to the OC through the headphones "we need to feed this guy the ball" right then, way before the "feed me" became popular. My favorite Forte memories were of him running into a rugby-like scrum and pushing it forward ten yards, then emerging on the other side and running wild. This especially sticks out in a memory of a game against SMU.golfnut69 wrote:His team is 7-1....

I may be incorrect but Forte only had offers from Sun Belt / Southland Conference Schools...Mewelde had an "walk on" offer at LSU....nothing else..but i may be incorrect will gladly take others input and knowledge on the subjectDfromCT wrote:As I recall, Forte was being heavily recruited by the SEC schools, including the one in Red Stick.

I may be wrong, but that's what my admittedly old and decrepit mind remembers.
You were closer to the program at that time than I was, Woody, but my recollection was from what I read at Nola.com and other sites after both were established players. I seem to recall a conversation about Forte's recruitment with Wayne P. at a pregame tailgate, but again, my memories are not always accurate! Others, including you, may have better inside information.golfnut69 wrote:I may be incorrect but Forte only had offers from Sun Belt / Southland Conference Schools...Mewelde had an "walk on" offer at LSU....nothing else..but i may be incorrect will gladly take others input and knowledge on the subjectDfromCT wrote:As I recall, Forte was being heavily recruited by the SEC schools, including the one in Red Stick.

And no one else wanted Matt Forte either.glennc wrote:Enough with the civility card. bottom line. We got a commitment from a RB that nobody else wants
He's fast and he's put up some good numbers.But when Robinson was promoted from defensive coordinator to head coach after Bell left for a job at Baylor, he brought a different philosophy to the Raiders’ attack. He would run the ball from the spread formation. A lot.

On41KiPiI/Bakare, a 6-foot, 205-pounder, has been a big reason for the sixth-year program’s success, gaining 1,714 yards on 181 carries as part of a ground-based offense that averages 45.5 points a game. He’s also set a school record for touchdowns in a season with 29.
