Besides JMV I don't see very many chest thumpers here. How awesome of me not to be one. I feel good knowing Im the best non chest thumper here. Kneel people.

No need to get defensive. This site was never intended for the "heavy hitters."
It was originally built for Louisiana fans who love UL sports past, present, and future.
For the most part we take the future in real time.
Having said that, I do appreciate your scoops, and or early info posts.
Got Shyanne Irvin (and IF Kennedy Stutes) coming from St. Thomas More. Wonder if the Cajuns will sign all state OF Emma Bailey, who was committed to Northwestern St. under coach Prejean (now at UL).
The Cajuns picked up another catcher. Should be announced soon.
So, how many catchers does this make for the team? Four?
Irvin is a decent receiver behind the dish but her bat is very weak. She is a either a homerun or an out type hitter (and right now, it's more outs than homeruns). Lots of power potential with her but she needs help from someone to develop her swing where she is more consistent.
So providing an honest assessment is now considered a knock on someone? Irvin will tell you herself that she is too inconsistent at the plate and needs to improve. And for the poster who said that she is playing for a good travel ball team, how does that improve her swing? Unless she is living in the town where the travel ball team is based and if the team has its own facility, then yes, she can theoretically improve her swing by getting help from someone there who truely understands swing mechanics. But since her team is based out of Houston, she ain't traveling there on a daily basis to work on her swing. I am not aware of anyone here in Lafayette who has the knowledge or ability (other than Lotief) that she can go to in order to improve her swing.
