Tulane had a prize packed group of visitors at practice this morning. I am working on a list of names but I can confirm that Destrehan QB Donovan Isom was there. He camped with Tulane as a Soph going into Junior year and was outstanding. Shaw QB Quentin Gibson was also at that camp and I would shocked if both QBs do not end up with an assortment of college options. Those two QBs are widely considered two of the best in Louisiana for 2014 at their position.
A couple of local studs from St. Aug were there also. CB Jermaine Roberts OL Joseph Paul were in attendance. Those two have about all the offers you could want already and are 4/5 star recruits. Pretty sure DTs Courtney Garnett and Marseth Andry were in attendance also from what I can gather.
As previously reported Bob Jones HS (Alabama) Nick Holman was also in town checking in on the Wave.
There were a handful of other 2014 prospects on hand that I am trying to work on getting names for.
Transfer DT Chris Davenport was seen walking around in a protective boot for his ankle but the injury was nothing severe at all. A source asked CJ about it and he said Davenport was fine, just a "minor tweak"
Remember folks, I am pretty sure that the official Spring Game has been moved to this upcoming Saturday, March 2 rather than on March 9. I think the thought process behind that is that the annual Tulane Athletics 5K event is in City Park that day along with a home track & field event in addition to the baseball team being on the road. On March 9 the baseball team will be at home so March 2 seemed to be the best overall date to have max involvement from the fans and staffing wise logistically. The next two Saturday practices will be held at City Park at 10am (weather permitting). CJ has said he will practice early in the Spring because you get it in and it allows two things: 1) It allows a team that needs to get stronger to go 2 months longer without interruption of that program and it 2) allows guys to get in and learn the playbook and new things they will put in and then they have all Spring and Summer to watch film on it and then go out and practice it on their own in group settings. If you push Spring back you can't gets hands on to show the kids what it is you want so when they go out on their own and practice they have no idea what they should be working to improve as much. Early Spring gives them a ton of film to evaluate and then go out and work on it on their own. Makes sense to me, especially the lifting part.
