With the commitment from Rashad Green, Tulane now has 21 "public" commitments. Assuming Tulane signs 22 this year as Coach Fritz has predicted, it would appear we only have one more slot. Of course, that means we need to “attrit” about 5 players from the current roster and who they are is anyone’s guess, though I feel comfortable that the coaching staff has a good handle on it. Frankly, I don’t know the last time, if ever, I thought our coaching staff had a “good handle” on anything. Although Bowden/Rodriguez had a good handle on game day I don’t think they recruited all that well. Anyway…
We’ve signed more offensive and defensive linemen than I expected and If we are to maintain current commitments (and I doubt we’ll retain them all) and sign one more, it would seem to me the major “needs” are 1) a GREAT player (ie. 4 star type) regardless of position followed by 2) a defensive back, 3) a running back, and 4) a wide receiver. Depending on what five players leave “the fold,” the order might change or another position might require further addressing. Since we may have only the one slot remaining, It should be interesting regardless.
I personally like Caleb Anderson (East Feliciana) at DB, though we’ve offered a number of out-of-staters who I’d be thrilled to sign. At running back I’d love to see us sign one of several out-of –staters we’ve offered. At wide receiver, Trenton Grow from West St. John is intriguing at 6’3.” He looks like a “top 25” type player to me. That he has not gotten more interest may suggest an off-field issue, but he looks really good to me on film. Tyler Kirkwood from Holy Cross is another local possibility who could fit nicely, but I also realty like Jacorrei Turner, a 6’4” wide out from Georgia who also plays linebacker.
Anyway, we’re almost full and have an entire season and 4 ½ months to early signing day. Should be fun to follow.
Roll Wave!
