Emmit Gooden is a highly sought after 6’4″, 305lbs defensive lineman out of Independence (Kansas) Community College. And despite being recruited by SEC Tennessee and Florida, according the The Daily Advertiser’s Tim Buckley, is still going to pay Lafayette a visit this weekend. New Cajuns Head Coach Billy Napier is connected to Gooden from his recruiting efforts while at Arizona State.
National Signing Day is three weeks from Wednesday (Feb 7). Should Napier ‘bag the big one’ in his first recruiting class, it could set an early tone for this Cajuns staff. Not only do they ‘talk the talk’, but they’ll deliver as they ‘walk the walk’.
