That’s what Monday was all about. Right here’s a have a look at some first-time names, in addition to some gamers that simply started to get on the recruiting radar, by way of the Memorial Day Showcase.
Who’s This Man?
For anybody that doesn’t know something about edge defender Charlie Robinson, you most likely are usually not alone the place you reside. He’s taking part in for Monroe (La.) Sterlington, however that’s not one of many conventional powers within the space. When he got here to the camp, and even earlier than he weighed in, there was the apparent query.
Who’re you?
16 years previous, this younger man is constructed like a Greek God. He’s blessed. The pictures don’t lie. Gamers over 225-pounds don’t usually appear to be Robinson.
Robinson is acquainted with taking part in on the sting, and he’s most likely going to play there in school as nicely. He additionally went via work as a linebacker throughout the camp, one thing unfamiliar to him altogether. It’s a part of the educational technique of being an all-around soccer participant. It’s good to see him desperate to be taught no matter how comfy he at the moment is with a place. His upside is nice regardless, however seeing Robinson so prepared to be taught provides extra worth to his inventory.

It’s solely a matter of time earlier than the provides begin to roll in for Robinson.
Pace
The variety of speedy and fast athletes is way multiple individual can outline. With that in thoughts, notice that there’s nonetheless one fixed within the higher Lafayette space.
**Large receiver Alex Beard is a participant that frequently makes performs. He’s quick, sure. Extra importantly, Beard does a fantastic job of utilizing method on the line of scrimmage to create separation. Right here’s an instance from the category of 2023 receiver from Lafayette (La.) Christian Academy:
There have been quite a few different vast receivers and defensive backs that made performs as nicely. It’s a very lengthy record, which is the norm in Louisiana. Nothing is altering, it seems.
Quarterbacks
Whereas many are fixated on Eli Holstein (Alabama dedication) and Arch Manning on the quarterback place, Louisiana really has fairly a couple of sign callers. Despite the fact that a few of them do not need Energy 5 provides simply but. A type of gamers did fairly nicely on Monday.
**Grayson Saunier has the normal body of a pocket passer, and he’s additionally adept at transferring proper or left earlier than firing a go. Most notably, he precisely threw deep ball after deep ball on the cash.
That’s typically the distinction between successful and shedding. Saunier performs for Lafayette (La.) Excessive College. He’s going below the radar for now, however that ought to change rapidly.
**There have been a number of different quarterbacks to observe, together with class of 2025 prospect Colton Morris, among the finest younger sign callers in Louisiana. He performs for Loranger (La.) Excessive College.
Younger Talent Expertise
**Among the finest 2025 prospects in Louisiana could be operating again Diesel Solari from Cecelia (La.) Excessive College. He’s a powerfully constructed participant that has been nice for 4th Quarter Mentality 7v7 this spring. He additionally did a fantastic job of displaying off his receiving expertise on the camp regardless of being a operating again on Friday nights.
Solari made a number of tough catches; he even made the catch of the day by way of an over-the-shoulder catch behind the top zone regardless of tight protection. He’s going to be an excellent participant, and Solari is already spectacular.
**Talking of younger expertise, with a number of Energy 5 provides already, Harlem Berry will not be one’s typical prospect on the age of 15. He’s a participant that’s already operating by defenders, making folks miss in area, and simply utilizing his pure expertise to make performs, similar to this one:
Scroll to Proceed
Despite the fact that he performs operating again (over 2,000 yards as a freshman) for St. Martin’s Episcolal College in New Orleans, he went from operating again to receiver throughout the one-on-one portion of camp. No actual coaching, thoughts you, but Berry made a number of catches in opposition to high quality defensive backs. There might be only a few class of 2025 prospects from the bayou with extra provides than this younger man when all is alleged and accomplished. He’s a particular expertise.
The operating again place on the whole was simply loaded. Numerous prospects with fast ft and actually good arms. The variety of operating backs that made tough catches is tough to calculate. That is a fantastic signal.
**Essentially the most spectacular cornerback on the day comes from the category of 2025 as nicely. Opelousas (La.) Excessive College standout Landon Hammond supplies the body school scouts covet at roughly 6’2”. With three extra years of highschool, he appears like considered one of Louisiana’s greatest transferring ahead.
Size
One different participant to say, and he is simply beginning to develop into his body. Be careful for Corey Amos from Opelousas (La.) Excessive College. He is simply over 200-pounds, and he’s a rising edge rusher that ought to be recruited early. He is a category of 2025 prospect.
Total Ideas
There have been extra prospects there to observe than one may sustain with. That’s a great downside to have. The higher Central Louisiana space, i.e. Baton Rouge to Lafayette, is filled with expertise for coaches to take a look at. It’s advisable for faculty coaches to just do that.
Thanks to @4thQtMentality for holding the camp and permitting everybody to compete and benefit from the day. Wanting ahead to coming again to Louisiana sooner or later.

East Texas volunteers respond to Louisiana flooding
MORGAN CITY, La.—“Stop,” urged Chaplain Leslie Burch of the Texans on Mission Deep East Texas flood recovery team. “Can everybody stop and pray with me?”
She asked her fellow team members to halt their work as they tore out flooring in the home of Troy and Angel in Morgan City, La.
The couple’s home had been flooded during heavy rains that hit the Mississippi Delta town the week before as Hurricane Francine landed in southern Louisiana.
“Troy and Angel are talking about accepting Christ, and we need to pray for God’s Spirit,” Burch explained.
It was all she needed to say. The group left their scrapers, shovels and wheelbarrows, gathered in the living room, now an empty space with bare concrete floors, held hands and prayed for the young homeowners and their children.
The Texans on Mission team was one of two that responded to Francine’s aftermath, joining partner groups from several other states to provide flood recovery and tree and debris removal after the violent storm.
Like many Texans on Mission teams, the Francine volunteers represented a mix of churches and backgrounds from throughout southeastern Texas.
Burch, a member of First Baptist Church of Orange, said the team came to “serve the needs” of the flood victims.
Team leader Mike Petigo of First Baptist Church in Nederland explained the team had been assigned to do flood recovery.

“We’re taking out sheetrock and disinfecting their homes so that survivors can get ready to put new sheetrock back in,” Petigo said.
For Steve Hammer of Covenant Church in Willis, the recovery efforts were about “getting it all cleaned out so these people can get on with their lives.
“We’re here today, about a week after the hurricane came through, and it’s important,” Hammer added. “We’re cleaning out houses now, because it gets nastier and nastier and nastier as time goes on.”
Pastor on the receiving end of ministry
Homeowners Tracey and Marci Smith were grateful for the team, who removed the lower two feet of their home’s sheetrock to ready it for replacement after flood waters seeped in and posed a mold danger.
It was especially meaningful for Tracey Smith, pastor of First Baptist Church of Morgan City, where the combined relief teams camped in Bible study rooms and ate in the fellowship hall.
Smith has been involved in Louisiana Baptist disaster relief in previous hurricane recoveries, but after Francine flooded his home, he found himself on the receiving end of disaster response.
Taking a break from helping the Texas team tear out lower walls and treat for mold, he offered his perspective on the recent storm.
“Well, we’ve been through this before. We’ve been through Hurricanes Laura and Delta back in 2020. But we didn’t have flooding like this,” Smith said.
Smith rode out the flooding in his truck outside his home. Marci Smith said that as the water rose and came closer to their house, Tracey “sat in the truck with the two dogs” near his fishing boat in case he needed to “help our neighbors escape.” It was not needed, but he was ready to help.
The Smiths’ own home became surrounded by an unbroken sea of water.
“It’s just kind of a hopeless feeling not being able to stop or prevent that from happening,” Tracey said.
The day after the storm, he said, the couple noticed the water “was migrating more and more throughout the house.
“So, we didn’t know to what degree we were going to have to remove the flooring or walls or anything like that,” he said. “It pretty much changes your routine and most definitely changes your way of life. You know that it’s not going to be back to what you would consider normal anytime soon.”
Tracey Smith has responded to other disasters, including Hurricane Ian in 2022 when he worked with Texas volunteers. So, he knew what to expect from the volunteers when they arrived.
“We knew the quality job” they would do, Tracey said. “We knew that they were going to be more than willing to do whatever we needed. And we were just glad to have them. … This is a good bunch.”
