This is anecdotal generalization, but nonetheless: When kids commit to Tulane, they usually announce it on Twitter. There are several of us that usually respond with tweets welcoming them to the Tulane family and wishing them the best. Positive strokes...yada, yada. Most every kid responds immediately with a favorite or a re-tweet. Let's his friends know that he's already got fans. I noticed that Sci was the only one that did not. I thought to myself at the time that a typical kid would fawn over the adulation if they were a serious commit. Got nothing but Sci-lence from him. He appears to be an extraordinary football prospect. Wish him the best and hope that he decides to wear green. A Tulane degree would be worth a lot more twenty years from now than memories of sitting on the LSU bench.

We also need a more attractive schedule, replacing Miss St with UMass doesn't help. The 2016 non conference schedule is an embarrassment. Try selling that to the kids CJ is trying to get vs a P5 schedule.jonathanjoseph wrote:And we need the facilities.

We need to hire the coach on Arizona St's staff that keeps raiding New Orleans of the talent that CJ should get.Profoundwizard wrote:Not this sh*t again. Coach O is not head coach material.wave97 wrote:Hire Ed Orgeron, or watch LSU win another National Championship.

A lot can change by next January depending on how the season goes and followed by the coaching carousel. There's a big difference between a 4-8 season and an 8-4 season.tpstulane wrote:He answer was "he decided too early". Which is probably true. We may still have a shot but it will be a long-shot.
Once again we get our hopes up that CJ is finally delivering on the recruiting trail as was promised when he was hired. Ten the football is pulled away yet again. Not unexpected but it still stings. Of course when you see what I'm about to post it all makes sense.

Frame this quote of yours on the mantlepiece in your mind. Coach Orgeron has straightened up his lifestyle. IMHO, you give him way too little credit, he's no longer the loose cannon of his Oxford days.Profoundwizard wrote:Not this sh*t again.

I'm with you. It's basically telling a kid he isn't good enough to compete at a higher level. I would question the heart of any kid who responded positively to that line of reasoning.wave97 wrote:The "you'll play here" position is the recruiting equivalent of standing in front of a high powered fan while relieving your bladder

So let's just throw this bull$hit right out the window. Statistically, not really. The value of a degree is correlated to the degree, not the school. So it's true that an engineering degree from LSU is unquestionably more valuable than a libel arts degree from Tulane.GreenLantern wrote:A Tulane degree would be worth a lot more twenty years from now than memories of sitting on the LSU bench.
Oops, we decided to drop engineering.
If we assume the athlete is not going to major in engineering than degrees from both schools are pretty worthless.
Then the decision comes down to whether they'd enjoy spending time in the football facilities and playing the football schedule at an SEC school or Tulane. And there, the decision is a no brainer.
We have NOTHING outside of the the uniqueness of the NOLA experience to offer to such a recruit.

With Tulane now going hard after more 4 star type kids this is going to happen more than not. It's a risk you have to take recruiting the better athletes. It's too bad he was so heavily recruited. CJ is going to have to break through and keep some of these guys or go back to finding kids in the rough and developing them. It reminds me of the kid from Curtis deal. We are just not ever going to be to compete with LSU. If they want a kid we want he's going there. They will tell him he's got a chance to play and they believe it. That's just how it is. The top kids are always going to want the bigger stage. The P5's are going to negative recruit against us. They always have. He's going to be told why go to Tulane and play in front of 10,000 fans when you can stay home and play in the SEC in front of 100K. Why go there, that's a losing program. Etc.
Be proactive, being reactive is for losers..

I agree. Went 0-3 against P5's last season was out scored 116-39 in those three P5 games.Highwave wrote:

Once the big guys start putting money on the table, (or under the table) its amazing how quick kids will change their minds.

No argument from me regarding our pitiful offense last year. However, I am well convinced that we have the talent to close that gap- just need the rest of the program to step up to the plate and do their job (or hire those who can).tpstulane wrote:I agree.
