It should be noted we have one of the lowest average per player rankings in the country. 13 commitments with 7 3–star, 3 2-star, and 3 unrated computes to a 1.92 average per player. Most of the 3-star commits are low 3-star guys. Not a stat we like to see. I wonder how many more players we will take. You would think we will leave 5-7 spots open for transfers.

Ja’Kavion Nonar, a OT we offered who was committed to Pittsburgh has decommitted. Future Cast has him going to the Gators.
Not sure of your math there...plus the unrated players will wind up being 2 stars at minimum.

More than that we have a history of offering and getting commitments from guys early who either blow up during their senior year (unfortunately some of whom we then lost), or who we retract the offer from later and replace with a higher rated guy.

Just reporting the current rankings on Rivals and their system of calculating a teams overall average per player. I will report the recalculated numbers as we add recruits, or when Rivals adjust individual player rankings.

Has anyone seen Braydon Johnson play from Ponchatoula? I have heard some really good reports on him. Some say he is the biggest sleeper in the state. We are his only offer.

Multiple players have tweeted they have received Tulane offers in the past two days. I'd be curious to hear if they are highly-recruited kids and we're "striking while the iron is hot".

Jeanty was one I saw. I'd have to go find the others and it's hard on Twitter.

Now better than later. We had the public's eye and performed well. Hope we get come commits out of it.

It definitely was a jolt. Nothing but positive press all across the country. We came out and played liked warriors considering the circumstances.

With the TE’s lining up to play with Pratt and company, where are the WR’s? To date, we only have Jalen Rogers. Here is the list of WR’s we have offered who are still undecided -

AJ Johnson - West Palm Beach, 4 stars
Barion Brown - Nashville, 4 stars
Kody Finley - Ponchatoula, 3 stars
Zavion Thomas - Marrero, 3 stars
Zyion Claville - Shreveport, 3 stars
TJ Johnson - Alexandria, 3 stars
Tommy Winton - Knoxville, 3 stars
Mudia Reuben - Kansas City, 3 stars
Jace Wilson - Denton, TX
Chris Brazzell - Midland, TX, 2 stars
Ben Coggin - Nolensville, TN, not rated
Joseph Miller - New Orleans, not rated
Marcus Sanders - Montezuma, GA, not rated
Ashton Jeanty - Frisco, TX, not rated

With the exception of Brazzell and Jeanty, the others listed have been offered for some time. I guess the staff pretty much knows the others offered are heading elsewhere or we may no longer be interested, thus the latest offers. Interestingly, we offered 25 other WR’s in this cycle who have already committed elsewhere.

It's possible we may be in the lead for some of these guys but they just haven't decided to commit. I imagine some think playing it close to the vest lets new schools look more closely, whereas some may think the opposite, that committing early shows other schools they are worth taking or perhaps drives competitiveness to attempt to flip them. Who knows. But if our offense continues to play as it has for two games, I'm confident we'll sign some good receivers.

Tulane being left behind will cause some of the offered recruits to look elsewhere. Whether the power conferences acknowledge this or not, pre-expansion AAC was viewed as a great conference with many competitive, top teams by many, including recruits. I’m sure Tulane is going to be impacted by the departures but it’s all about winning. Watch how many eyeballs will be on us if we beat Ole Miss. heck, even this throwback helmet design is making waves on social media and has gone national.

Pete, I agree with you. The way I said it didn’t quite add up to what you added.

Harris played some tackle for Lamar and ours is one of several FBS offers.
