Re: "mini-moats" to ULL ??
This RB on top of the hot shot QB (John Hundley) that ULL got a verbal from a few days ago (#28 nationally by rivals.com)? Ouch! If these ULL recruits hold, the love fest for ULL will be over in Ruston in a hurry.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette's recruiting efforts received a boost with two more commitments on the brink of its biggest recruiting weekend.
The Ragin' Cajuns increased their commitment total to 17 with pledges from running back Deon Wallace of Houston-Worthing and offensive lineman Brad Bradford of Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy.
Wallace, a 5-foot-8, 180-pound prospect, selected UL-Lafayette over scholarship offers from Kansas State, Hawaii, Colorado, Louisiana Tech, Texas Tech and Baylor. He said he also received interest from Utah and UCLA.
"There were bigger names out there, but they're an up and coming program that's going to be good," Wallace said of UL-Lafayette. "When I went on my visit they had a good environment that made me feel really comfortable. It just felt like the right place to be."
Bradford, a 6-5, 265-pound center and Huntington, W.V. native, has already signed with UL-Lafayette after a weekend visit. He becomes the fourth member of the Cajuns' recruiting class to enroll for the spring semester and will participate in spring drills, joining outside linebacker Don Hargroder of Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy, wide receiver Corey Frederick of Compton (Calif.) Community College and quarterback Conner Morel, a Northwestern State transfer who will redshirt this season.

He was selected the district's offensive most valuable player as a senior with 169 carries for 1,820 yards and 20 touchdowns.
"He's had an excellent career for us," Worthing coach Ed Snow about Wallace, who is academically qualified.
"He's our all-time leading rusher with more than 5,000 yards. It's going to be hard to top that."
Wallace, a preseason Top 100 selection in Texas, was rated the nation's No. 12 all-purpose running back, according to Rivals.com. He participated in summer camps at the University of Texas and Houston and was timed at 4.49 seconds in 40-yard dash the Nike combine at College Station, Texas last May.
"He's got a lot of speed," Snow said. "But he also lives in the weight room. He's a student of the game who's very focused.''
UL-Lafayette is also scheduled to host about 20 prospects starting Friday.
Among the recruits expected on campus are St. Charles-LaPlace running back Tyrell Fenroy, University High defensive end/outside linebacker Hall Davis V, St. Augustine-New Orleans defensive tackle Seth Adams and Higgins-New Orleans offensive lineman Kenneth Turner, who switched his commitment from UL-Monroe to Louisiana Tech this week.
Fenroy, a first team Class 3A All-State selection after rushing for 2,136 yards, is also scheduled for visit Louisiana Tech and Ole Miss, while Davis will visit Northwestern State. He's also received interest from Southern Mississippi and McNeese State.
State Notes Southern picked up its second commitment from Hahnville-Boutte quarterback Bryant Lee. The Jaguars also have a pledge from Glen Oaks wide receiver/defensive back Ronald Wade. ... Tulane added its ninth commitment from first team Class 5A All-State defensive end Matt Slocum (6-5, 255) of West Monroe.
