Eye opening stuff

I just wanted to point this out for those that just don't get recruiting or just some of the business.

I saw a kid tweet out that he was about to pick his college for football and he named Tulane as one of his final choices. Now, when he picked another school that was not Tulane a Tulane fan got all upset and said our staff was not doing a good job getting beat out by said school.

Funny thing is this, our coaches were not even pursuing this kid anymore. Did not even remember him really.

So, just as a lesson..... don't act foolish about things unless you have the facts.

Roster additions

Just want to remind folks it is not official yet. We may get all 3 or we may get none. Nothing is set in stone regardless of what has been said on the forums.

Well all my news just leaked....

That said, regardless of what has been posted nothing is official until Tulane makes it official.

The potential additions to the team that I have hinted at, if everything checks out all would be eligible for the 2013 season.

DE/LB Tyler Gilbert, John Curtis, Univ of Arkansas transfer

DB Taurean Nixon, Southern Lab in Baton Rouge, Univ of Memphis transfer
TE Deondre Skinner, Patterson, LA - Ranked as one of the best TEs in the country in the 2013 class

QB Ryan Griffin vying for backup role with Saints

"Tulane coach Curtis Johnson brought the Saints offense with him when he took the Green Wave job last year after six seasons as the receivers coach in New Orleans under Sean Payton. The terminology and many of the plays Griffin is running in mini-camp already are second nature." 
“There were seven other teams that offered, but it was a pretty easy decision,” said Griffin, a California native. “I’m so happy I get to stay, hopefully, for a while longer. It’s a great city, and Drew Brees has been great. From on the field to the film room, he’s pointed out little technique things and drop things. I’m trying to absorb every bit of information that I can.”
"Griffin, trying to follow in Daniel’s footsteps, turned a few heads at minicamp, which ended Thursday.  “He’s good, he really is,” tight end Jimmy Graham said. “He’s improving every day. The more he practices, the better he’ll be. He definitely has velocity, and to be going through the reads like he does this early is awesome.”

The big football news

The news talked about here http://tulanefootballtalk.blogspot.com/2013/06/huge-football-news-coming.html
can now be found here http://tulane.scout.com/

I still expect there to be a couple more roster additions that I have mentioned several times in previous blog post. I said that the roster for Fall Camp 2013 would look much different than we thought it would look like and from what I have gathered we are still on track for that. No promises but just what I am hearing from very reliable sources.
