LAFAYETTE — Things couldn’t have started more fittingly for a football team recruiting players to Ragin’ Cajuns country: The first two signees for the Louisiana-Lafayette football program on Wednesday’s national signing day were a kid named Boudreaux and a kid from Thibodaux.
The rest of the day didn’t go too badly, either.
The Cajuns signed all 19 of the players who were publicly committed to them before the day started, then added a few more for a 22-player class that coach Mark Hudspeth feels addressed both immediate needs and future potential.
“We felt like we really hit the mark on what we needed to address in terms of maybe immediate needs at some positions, then also some positions where we feel like we’ve got time to develop some players, too,” Hudspeth said.
