Notes: This is a big recruiting weekend for Johnson and the Wave. In addition to Powell, among those scheduled to visit are McMain running back Joshua Rounds, McDonogh 35 athlete Kedrick Banks and Helen Cox linebacker Royce Lafrance. Rounds (5-11, 195) and Banks (5-9, 180) were All-State selections respectively in Classes 3A and 4A, with Rounds being named Class 3A's Outstanding Offensive Player after helping McMain win a District 10-3A championship and advance to the Class 3A state quarterfinals. The district championship and two ensuing playoff victories were the first in McMain history as was the advance to the quarterfinals. Banks earned All-State honors as a wide receiver, but also played running back, defensive back and returned kicks for the Roneagles. . . . Lafrance is a North Texas commitment. . . . O. Perry Walker wide receiver Raymond Jackson has added Tulane to the list of schools he is considering, Coach Emanuel Powell said. Jackson is making an official visit to ULL this weekend and has visited Florida International. Tulane, Arizona and Memphis are in the running for his second and final official visit next weekend. . . . Karr defensive linemen Leonard Washington and Darrian Dyson committed to Florida International on Friday, Karr Coach Jabbar Juluke said. Washington (6-1, 285) and Dyson (6-4-300) were integral contributors to Karr's second consecutive season as Class 4A state runner-ups.

Committed to Tulane per Vito.

Royce update, he is playing as a true freshman this season for Tulane and had 1 tackle in a 41-13 loss to ULL on Saturday. Tulane is 0-5 this season.

On an interesting sidenote, Tulane Coach Curtis Johnson shares Mac philosophy for recruiting high school players. The Tulane fans are disgruntled about this because they would like to see some Juco's signed to help ramp up the talent level so they can recruit better high school players. I thought they recruited pretty well last class but when you stick with high school players it can take some time.

We seem to have lost a few players to Tulane in the recurring wars this year. If Tulane goes winless ( a possibility) I wonder if any would reconsider

Seems doubtful to me. Johnson likely sold them on the fact that they would bad this year due to lack of talent (which is true). He has accumulated a pretty good recruiting class and I'd bet that he can hold them together.

I don't think Johnson hinted to anybody that they would be this bad.
