It is very likely that with Guidry and Jackson at Miami and Raymond back at L$U, we'll be looking at some epic secondary recruiting battles both in the 25 cycle and the future.
A second intriguing story here is multiple posters have been pleading for years for us to open a pipeline in Louisiana. The problem is L$U normally has that state on complete lockdown. However, Brian Kelly is going to make Raymond's work infinitely harder and has potentially opened the door to the state
Starting with his fake accent
To his "dancing"
But most importantly, in a world of College Football filled with coaches with "questionable" ethics, Brian Kelly stands head and shoulders above the slimiest of them.
L$U and Kelly currently have a lot of momentum. Will it last? Can we establish a foothold in the boot?

| Jaxon Howard | L$U | Lot of frustration on CIS when we lost this recruitment, but he's already in the portal. |
| Andre Sam | L$U | Would've followed Guidry to Miami and been a Cane but Tulane was crying too much about the appearances of "tampering" |

| Harold Perkins | L$U | TX LB went w/L$U. We didn't make the Top 3 |
