    Since you and Diaz (gets paid to find info) didn't know it did not happen. Right? Read this thread.

    For one thing, people close to our program, as well as members of our coaching staff, were telling people in the month before the draft that the level of interest he was receiving was comparable to players who were eventually drafted. The personal workouts, interviews, and level of interest by teams is simply different at that level.

    Also, this same information and more was public as it was being discussed on our local sports talk radio station. Boston had an incredible pro day. Teams then came running to him, and everybody locally took notice. Well, most people.

    And that's really on our beat writer. He has to develop contacts and make phone calls. At a minimum, he needs to have an earbud in his left ear at all times when local sports talk radio is on. Or at least listen to it on demand when issues that involve his beat are being discussed.

    That's funny. So now, even theprofessor wants credible reporting! Good luck with that. THAT'S the problem. If the media wasn't so lazy we would have credible reporting, including multiple reports on this issue of Boston Scott getting drafted.

    I have no reason to doubt what you say. You are one of the posters I respect the most on this board. I don't live in Ruston. I don't listen to Ruston sports talk radio. And maybe there was talk going on locally that didn't get reported out. That said, I didn't see any real chatter even on this board that Boston was going to be drafted. I'd love to see a post (that maybe I missed leading up to the draft) where someone on here said that Boston was rising and was going to get drafted in the sixth round. I'm extremely happy for him, and as a Saints fan I'm even happier. But I was shocked that he got drafted.

    This discussion didn't evolve from what anybody said about you. You jumped in to defend our beat writer who SHOULD HAVE KNOWN from sources other than BBB or local talk radio that Boston was going to be taken in the draft. He did not do his job of covering a Tech player and chose instead to focus on one player from Grambling. He refuses to cover both schools and gives Grambling equal coverage in all sports. Do you think that sells papers (or clicks)? Of course not.

    We've covered this ad nauseum. Do I think Diaz was wrong for embedding himself on draft night with a local player who attended a local Division I university? No, I do not. I hope he has the opportunity to do a similar story with local Tech guys in the future.

    Mark Ingram has been suspended from the first 4 games of the 2018 season for PED use. Might be a good chance for Boston to make a splash.

    Could be a very huge break for Boston. Only two Saints rushed for more than 100 yards last season (Ingram and ROY Kamara). Maybe the Saints will have rookie of the year running backs two years in a row. That would be cool, huh?

    This is no excuse for Ingram IMHO. Huge opportunity for Boston!

    Kamara has a huge role and ran for over 6 Per carry last year. Not sure if he is an every down back for the course of four games. Boston should have opportunities, but Kamara will get as many touches as he can handle. He’s a different breed
