Nine visitors, but six are already commitments

The three who aren't commitments:

1) Darius Williams, WR, McDonogh 35, 6-2, 171 pounds, 2 stars according to Rivals.com

The skinny: Tulane really needs a wide receiver. Williams' only other offer according to Rivals.com is Temple, which beat Tulane on the field in December and in the last recruiting season took away 3-star Florida DT commitment Freddie Booth-Lloyd from the Wave (he did not play this year and was redshirted). Tulane linebacker Rene Fleury and offensive tackle Kenneth Santa Marina are from McDonogh 35.

Williams is an excellent athlete with good jumping ability who needs to improve his consistency. Dandy Don's listed him as the No. 73 prospect in Louisiana, for what that's worth.

2) Zachary Block, punter from East Ridge High School in Clermont, Fla.

The skinny: After Bennett Moehring committed to Navy yesterday, Tulane is bringing another punter/kicker. He was rated slightly below Moehring on Kohl's but has a very strong leg and is seen as a guy who can be an excellent punter in college. He is not in the Rivals.com database.

3) Hunter Dale, Safety, John Curtis, 5-11, 200, 3 stars

The skinny: This is not a big need, but Dale would be too good to pass up. Rivals ranks him the No. 21 prospect in Louisiana and he has had offers from more than 20 schools, including Oregon, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Tennessee and Penn State. In December he listed his top six as Miami, Florida, Arizona, Arizona State, Notre Dame and Ole Miss. Tulane has plied its John Curtis connection heavily under CJ but has not gotten a commitment from the school yet this year. Dale would be the highest rated recruit in the class if he committed.

Dale supposedly committed to Nebraska last July but then said he had not, and with the coaching changer there, it doesn't matter anyway.

The other official visitors are previous commitments Devin Glenn, Jeremie Francis, Douglas Henry, Roderick Teamer, Dedrick Shy and Nigel Anderson.
