U L M Starting To Pick Up Committments

Looks like ULM is startin' to pick up some early committments. They have verbals from a DE and OL so far. Here's an interesting post concerning prospects.

I received several updates from people who attended (watched) the Warhawk football camp last Saturday. Here are a couple of interesting notes ...

The two primary areas of focus are QB and DL. ULM has made four offers to QBs (Check out www.WarhawkNation.com for a lilst). A 5th offer is likely to be made to a kid from TX (6'3" 210 lb) who has made a soft verbal to one of the better Conference USA programs. However, the kid attended the Shreveport camp and then visited the campus last week with his parents to attend the Monroe camp. Look for the Warhawks to take the first two commits. [For grins, keep an eye on Ruston's presumed 2007 qb (a possible 2009 candidate?). He's just a junior, but he's legacy ... members of the 40-something crowd will remember his dad quite well.]

At DL, (not surprisingly) the staff has placed a premium on size. Of course the Midlothian kid has already committed. He plays at 220 in HS but will likely add 20-30 lbs and play on the line in the 245-250 range at Louisiana-Monroe. One of the local schools sent 3 DLs to the camp, including two 2007 prospects, both of which fit the bill for size.

Look for ULM's 2007 class to be more heavily weighted with TX recruits than before. I'm told the student-athletes from Louisiana by and large are having increasing difficulty meet the new NCAA standards for core classes. Charlie has three coaches spending some or all of their time recruiting the Dallas/Houston/East Tx markets (Luke Wells, Steve Farmer, and Kirk Botkin), so it should be no surprise that our first two commitments to the 2008 class are from Texas. Expect more.

Very interesting quote. Now college coaches are apparently not just recruiting Texas because it is the richest hotbed of football talent, but because of its superior students?
