bigred360 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Posted September 7, 2010 11494.1 I found it interesting that the top three WR's from Lamar were teammates of Bevil at Navarro Junior College. Not surprising since Coach Woodard recruited them to the JC, and they were 10-1 the year after Woodard left. However, there was a WR from Lafayette named Kendrick Prejean. I had never heard of him, so I went to searching. I found it weird that a guy from Lafayette would not be on any of my recruiting list, plus he is not in the Lamar media guide, nor is he mentioned on the three deep. Yet, he is listed as a junior from Lafayette Charter School. Hum............ OK , that explains it, he didnot play high school football, but why would he be a junior? Then I notice a Facebook page for a semi-pro team in Lafayette named the Lafayette Hurricanes. In 2008 it says Newcomer of the Year was a Kendrick Prejean. Could this be the same guy? Does anyone in Lafayette know of this semi-pro team? The guy has no background in the Lamar press section of the roster, which is strange. I am not making any acquisations, but it reminds me of the kid that played basketball out in Odessa last year. He got away with it for a year at Odessa High until he went to a AAU tournament in Arkansas and got recognized by a Florida coach. He played high school ball in Florida, been cut by a JC in Illinois and decided to move in with a cousin in Texas and try high school again. He would have never been caught if not for the AAU tournament. This Prejean guy just dropped out of the air, but caught 3 passes for LU on Saturday night. There is always a chance there are more than one 21 year old Kendrick Prejean from Lafayette. But I ain't buying it if the NCAA looked past this squad as not being a semi-pro team when the advertisement called them semi-pro.http://forums.delphiforums.com/geauxcowboys/messages/?msg=11494.1
NorthoftheBorder Posted September 7, 2010 Report Posted September 7, 2010 Looks like this will get interesting. If he hadn't gone 65 yds for an almost TD that set up up a TD to get within 3 and make the home crowd real nervous, nobody cares who he is or where he came from. I personally do not know anything about him. I just know that Woodard & his staff have put together a pretty talented and salty group this first year.
bigred360 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Posted September 7, 2010 I'm sure Coach Woodard and co. did their homework on this kid. I do know he is a walk-on and not on a scholarship.
NorthoftheBorder Posted September 7, 2010 Report Posted September 7, 2010 Went to the Louisiana Hurrican website. It clearly states that the players are not paid so that any collegiate eligiblity they would or do have not be affected. They have to pay to be a part of the team. I'm like you 360, I'm sure Woodard & Co did there homework.
Bucof2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Posted September 7, 2010 That almost made an interesting story

LU Baseball Fan Posted September 8, 2010 Report Posted September 8, 2010 I can assure you that Jason Henderson the compliance AAD did his homework and this kid is eligible or he would not be on the field. Jason does a great job and knows the rules.
