[quote name="Ty Cobb" post="1366376" timestamp="1359042968"] How many of the players on Lamar's roster are walk-ons?  I don't know if there is a way for us to find this information without talking directly to one of the coaches, but I'm willing to bet the number is very low.  I'm going to go with 5% or less. (I may be wrong but I bet it's not much higher if I am) [/quote] I'm talking about players from southeast Texas. I counted at least 7 from southeast texas that were walk ons. My point is that Lamar didn't actually recruit this kids much at all. They probably chose to stay close to home due to personal choice. Not from Lamar's superior recruiting from this area.

[quote name="Ty Cobb" post="1366344" timestamp="1359037731"] Wow, I can't believe what I'm reading.  Do you guys really think that Lamar should sign players just because they live and played high school football in SE Texas?  I promise you everyone that plays in SE Texas is NOT college football material.  There are some very good players that come from this area but that doesn't mean they are good enough to play college football, or maybe they are good enough to play college ball but they don't fit Lamar's scheme. Raiderblue, you said the following, "We have great home grown talent and can't get these yo yo's to sign them."  Are you joking?  Here's Lamar's 2012 roster.  Let's see how many players they have from SE Texas.

What more do you want? [/quote]Yes it may look that way, but how many of those are walk ons that were not actually recruited by lamar and chose to stay close to home. How many are still on the team? I know of three that forsure are not. Just because they are on the roster does not mean they were recruited by Lamar. I know Joseph Viator for one is a walk on who chose to be there to be close to home, not because Lamar brought him in.

Can he be nominated for both sides of the ball? Or do they have to just pick one?

He graduated highschool today #2 in his class and signed his LOI. Great kid. Congrats Alex! All of LCM is proud of you!

Dude hits hard! Impressive!

Thank you all for your hard work!

Good, I always enjoy that kind of stuff.

I don't remember who did them last year, maybe WOSgrad? It was always an interesting read. Anyone know if they are going to do them again this year?

How much time is left?

Wow... Someone try to get some halftime stats for Montana.

[quote name="bearmom" post="1307534" timestamp="1350955295"] You should see the picture Gary Stelly from KOGT posted on fb because it clearly shows the Bear player had the ball all wrapped up in his arms. Just glad the Bears won! ;D [/quote] I saw the picture as well. Clearly should have been LCM ball. But, a wins a win.

Very awesome story, football is about so much more than winning and losing. They seem to have it figured out. Prayers to the Thompson family.
