I would like to add that I have a friend from Nederland who is trying to walk-on, his name is Tommy Gillespie, if you're familiar with Nederland football you might remember him. He is enrolled in a speed camp and is on the same diet as the players.

[bigred360]

Depauldrick Garrett missed at least one game or he would have rushed for 1,000 for the season. As it is, he finished with 925 on the season.

[bigred360]

Former Central defensive back Adrian Guillory 5'8, 185 lbs signed with Lamar. He also played at Navarro. Guillory ended the season at Navarro with 19 tackles and three interceptions in five games, according to the NJCAA web site.

Still unsigned is former Central star Derrick Hall, who played two seasons at Navarro. Hall signed with Tulsa before last season but left after the NCAA ruled him ineligible because not all necessary credits transferred from Navarro.

[CardinalClaw]

KFDM said that Hall, Garrett and Sanchez all signed with LAMAR today.

Yea I saw that on the news too.

Sean Robertson, 6'2, 275lbs Center from Blinn J.C. is coming to Lamar.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/texashoops/football/recruiting/player-Sean-Robertson-110431

[bigred360]

Colton Collins is a 6-foot-4, 300-pound offensive tackle played the last two seasons at Trinity Valley Community College and played high school football at Austin McCallum. Collins ended the season as a second-team offensive lineman in the Southwest Junior College Football Conference.

[coachacola]

Good to see Woodard sign some offensive linemen.

[CardAmbassador]

I'm happy with most of these signs so far. I like that we have some size coming in. If we land Jeremy Johnson than I would say we have one hell of a recruiting class coming in.

Glad to see more depth at the kicking position too.

[CardAmbassador]

We need to try and pick up some big defensive recruits.

[LU4LIFE]

We need some big guy for both sides of the line.

[bigred360]

Zack Sonnier WR LC-M

Zack Sonnier was a 2nd Team 2010 All-SETXsports.com selection at WR. He made the 1st Team Port Arthur News Super Team at WR and was a 1st Team Beaumont Enterprise Super Gold Team selection at WR.

Appears Lamar is looking at him. Does anyone know it a offer has been made? He is listed at 6-0, 180 with a 4.5 forty time. He could join Joseph Viator a former LC-M Bear on the Lamar football team.

He had 68 catches for 1006 yds and 7 TDs this season.

I like this kid, he knows how to run after the catch and he seems to have some speed. It would be nice if he grew two more inches or so after HS. I know one thing, we better sign at least one good WR this class, because we're going to lose several this season.

[bigred360]

Yea, this is a really nice video and if he can't play WR at Lamar he could probably play strong safety.

Rivals listed his max bench at 250 which is a little weak for a kid 6-0, 180. My brother who graduated from the same high school (LC-M) benched 330 and he was 5-10, 170. He signed with McNeese as there wasn't a football program at Lamar.

What I'm getting at is they have a good weight program over there so the 250 may be wrong.

[coachacola]

Back in December someone posted that video on lots of different message boards asking for feedback. It appears this guy is trying to get his name out there. I guess he's not getting too much interest but I'm guessing Lamar knows about him.

If their is something better at WR still left lets get that, but I think the kid seemed good enough. We have smaller and slower WR on the roster right now.

[lu cards]

since he's local you probably could get him with a partial or preferred walk on.lot more scholarships next year so if he's legit put him on a full ride.

[lcm2007ms]

No offer as of yet

Not saying he will grow but it is likely. His father stands at 6'3" and both his older brothers grew after high school

Who is your brother?

[bigred360]

Daniel Rose but he was there probably long before you. He played 87, 88 and 89 at LC-M. Was a CB as a sophomore, free safety as a junior. Then his senior year he didn't come off the field as he was a RB, FS, PR, KR and was on the kickoff and punt coverage teams. He was 5-10, 170lbs. He could bench 330, run a 4.4 forty and under 10.9 100 meters in track. He lettered in track and baseball.

Then he went to MSU but later transferred to Lamar majoring in Kinesiology.

He later coached at LC-M, West Brook and Mansfield.

Now he is the associate pastor at Community Church in Orange and is the Superintendent of the school.

http://www.ccsorange.org/ccsprofile.html

I'm just a little proud of him. I guess you noticed. ;)

[Knightman]

I am glad to see that Lamar is playing football, and I think that is a very smart move to raid the JUCO ranks for players, and also glad to see the transfers that the staff has brought in!!!!!! We need to get behind this team, and these kids and root like heck for them. Patrick will be very supportive of the football program, and the young men that play in it!!!!!

Go Cards!!!!!!!!

Don't forget Alan Daniels...the OT Woodard stole from U of H.

You probably mean Daniel Campbell, I just added him.

[LU4LIFE]

Does anyone have info on Daniel Campbell status?

[CardAmbassador]

Does anyone have info on Daniel Campbell status?

From what I have heard he will enroll at Lamar in the summer II session. I was going to use my contacts to check his enrollment status when that time comes. Summer II starts in early July.

Thanks for info CA.

[TexGator]

I haven't heard anything about him spending a lot of time in Houston area living rooms. Houston is one of the top-5 hotbeds of talent nationally (with the Metroplex, Miami, LA, and Atlanta being the others) and I keep hearing a LOT of JuCo and Golden Triangle guys.

Hopefully, it's just that the Houston area guys he's talking to are mulling other offers and will fall into our column this summer. So much of recruiting is done from November-May these days that I'm starting to worry.

I know that, up in the Spring area, there's an insane amount of talent- even after you just write off the guys on the Rivals100 and ESPN150- since we know that Lamar isn't in a position to steal guys from UT, Alabama, LSU, and the other national schools.

[CardAmbassador]

@TexGator: I guess you are referring to Woodard and his staff?

If you look on the 2012 thread there are several kids from the Houston area on there.

[CardAmbassador]

What position players do you think we missed out on this recruiting class?

One of the obvious ones to me is RB but there are several others.

[LU1991]

I was hoping we would pull Ford in for RB but it didn't happen and then a rumor of a Big XII guy transferring which also didn't happen.

Michael Venson did have a good spring training which should help at the RB position.

Lamar University will have at least 11 new preferred walk-on players when preseason practices start in August, according to a list provided Friday by Lamar football coaches.

[bigred360]

I know Carpenter's dad. Man I'm getting old. BTW, Carpenter's great uncle was a star RB for Lamar back in the 50's.

[CardAmbassador]

Never know, one or two of these kids might be good enough to make an impact this year. How many kids can we have on our roster?

[bigred360]

85 on some type of scholarship but I'm not sure how many are allowed on the team including preffed walk-on's.

[CardAmbassador]

I added all the data I could find on these Guys.

Former Lamar Football Player Sammy Carpenter Passed Away Monday

BEAUMONT - Sammy Carpenter, who was an all-conference tailback on the Lamar football team in the early 1950s, passed away at his home in Orange on Monday.

A four-year letterwinner from 1951-54, Carpenter helped Lamar in its transition from a junior college to a four-year university. He was a four-year starter at tailback in the Cardinals first four years as a university.

Carpenter, who was included in the inaugural Cardinal Hall of Honor induction class in 1973, led the team in rushing all four years, including rushing for 1,005 yards in 1952. Burton Murchison is the only other Cardinal to rush for 1,000 yards in a season with 1,547 in 1985.

A two-time all-Lone Star Conference recipient in 1951 and 1952, Carpenter ranks second on the Lamar's all-time rushing list with 2,703 yards, trailing only Murchison's 3,598. He also ranks second with 4,000 all-purpose offense.

Carpenter is the school's all-time leading scorer with 33 touchdowns and 198 career points. He rushed for 210 yards against Sul Ross State in 1952, which ranks as the third best single-game total in school history. His 84-yard scamper against Texas State in 1952 ranks as the second-longest play from scrimmage in school history.

Heralded as the greatest offensive back in the first 50 years of Lamar football, Carpenter also lettered in baseball and track for the Cardinals.

[CardAmbassador]

This was Colby Carpenter's great uncle?

Very sad, I hope his family is doing well.

Cardinal Nation will miss a great player.

[bigred360]

Yes, but this article is a couple years old. Thanks for asking and the family is doing well as far as I know.

[CardAmbassador]

Oh wow, yeah, didn't look at the date.

[CardAmbassador]

On this list of Preffered walk-ons I like Rashad Stewart, his 40 time is good, he looked capable in his video, he already played at the college level. I'm not sure why he is transferring, that back story would be nice to know.

Tony Brodman and Jahmai Colemen also seem like they may be able to contribute, I would like to know more about OL Adam Martin, specifically his size and if he ever played on the defensive side of the ball either. I also want to know why Logan Moss is listed as a TE, he looks great playing defensive end, they should leave him at that position. Don't know how much playing time he would get but he would be a good back up.

[CardAmbassador]

Beagleton had a partial scholarship at ACU but didn't sign in time.

http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/lamar/article/West-Brook-s-Begelton-among-preferred-walk-ons-at-1419664.php

Hope he does well here.

[CardAmbassador]

At least we can be happy that there are some good walk-ons on this list. Plus guys that we may not know about who are also trying out.

[CardAmbassador]

I merged the Recruiting and Preferred walk on threads plus cleaned them up. Look at the first post, on this thread, its full of good information.

[bigred360]

Thanks for the work and effort on this information CA. Looks better!

[CardAmbassador]

Moment of truth approaching for this recruiting class. I believe several of the players are scheduled to start summer classes for summer session II, which begins Friday.

I'll be checking on the enrollment of O linemen Campbell next week.

[CardAmbassador]

I just wanted to notify the people who may not read the Kampus Korner section. TE Logan Moss who is a preferred walk-on in this recruiting class has earned a Mirabeau Scholarship to Lamar. The Mirabeau Scholarship is Lamar's premier academic scholarship and for Moss to receive such a distinction says alot about the young man not only as a student but also as a person. Glad to have him on the team.

[BigRed98]

With the debate that has been going on over Doty, I thought I'd add my .02 and this seemed like a better topic to post it under than the one that has hosted the debate. I watched Doty play for 2 years while he was in high school. He has a strong arm and throws a great ball. His passes are mostly on target regardless of whether it is a short or long ball he is throwing. He makes great decisions. He is not a mobile QB. I know that some have mentioned that Tatum is not quite what LU thought they were getting when they recruited him. However, Tatum came from a completely different coaching regime than Doty came from. PN-G's new HC has a history of developing top quality QBs. He broke passing records at Permian three straight years with a new QB each of those three years. For a high school player, I'd put Doty at the top of local QBs last year.

Do I blame LU for not recruiting Doty? Absolutely NOT. As others have stated, no one else recruited him either. PN-G players are historically not sought after with very few exceptions. One of those exceptions went to the state championship. Many of you also remember the name Bruce Reyes from West Brook last year. I watched Reyes play QB when he was in middle school, and he looked like a little Vince Young. He had the poise of a varsity QB his 8th grade year. LU didn't recruit him either. Woodward and company know what type of QB they need to fill their offensive schemes. I suspect they are wanting scrambling QBs. Talk of racism at the QB or any other position is bogus. The coaches will fill the positions with players they feel are the best fit for the system and give them the best shot at winning. I don't always agree with their decisions for who will start, feeling that there is some misplaced loyalty to a player taking place. That is another topic that doesn't belong here.

I've read that Doty is now 3rd string at Oregon and that he may find himself 2nd string before too long if they move some positions around. That's great. I think Oregon got a heck of deal since Doty isn't on scholarship. I wish him the best and I'll become a brief Oregon fan if he ever gets to start, as I was a brief A&M fan when Long was starting for them.

[coachacola]

I suspect they are wanting scrambling QBs.

I agree with you on that point. If you look at Prewitt's stats, he has negative rushing yards while Bevil and Johnson do not.

[CardAmbassador]

I agree with you on that point. If you look at Prewitt's stats, he has negative rushing yards while Bevil and Johnson do not.

I agree too, but lets not pretend that Bevil and Johnson can't toss the ball too. Johnson had the best passing stats of all the QB's in the spring game. Bevil is a bad decision maker IMO (some who have been at the practices say it's changed, we will see this weekend) but he is accurate, and when he gets on he is pretty good.
