It seems that Coach McCorkle is being very selective in signing transfers from the portal. I saw on X where we are getting a transfer offensive lineman from Louisiana Tech who went to high school in Houma. This is just one example and I think this is the right approach. Recruit those kids back home that can put fans in the stands on Saturday night. That includes East Texas kids. NSU used to win a lot of games with Louisiana majority and filling in the gaps with East Texas. Also from what I have seen online and heard from high school coaches is that the recruiting within the state of Louisiana is night and day from where it has been in the last few years. He is laying his foundation for the years to come and I am on board!

Agreed! When I saw a confirmed visit to West Monroe...that let me know we are back in the saddle in the state.
He is looking for players that he can develop which is the right approach. From Texas to Alabama, there are plenty of athletes that are looking for a home and are eager to get a chance.
It's a new day for NSU football as we are taking the old school approach. Networking, building relationships, and developing talent.

Since I posted this I saw that we also snagged an Edge/LB from ULL who went to high-school at Acadiana. Another great pickup from the portal.

If we keep adding quality Louisiana players like this, at least the stands will be filled up more than in the past. This coach seems like he knows what he is doing. We're about to find out sooner than later. I think it's unfair to remotely judge him until year three or even four. That said, we should see improvement in various phases years one and two. Year one defense might be salty. I haven't a clue on year one offense. We seem to be weak at the position that has been almost always been our Achilles heel -- QB. We're either quite inexperienced or the unknowns are greater than the knowns. Quien sabes? (who knows?)
