Alyson Habetz Named Louisiana Softball Head Coach

Great news! Congrats to Coach Habetz and Geaux Cajuns!

I think we should give the girls that entered the portal a chance to change their minds. They jumped ship too soon. We can throw them a life ring and pull them back on the ship.

Maybe she can get Yvette to be an assistant or volunteer coach!

I'd treat that as the girls re-opening their recruiting.. although I have no idea if any of them have to forfeit scholarships, etc after entering the portal

The answer is no, but the new HC may decide to move on.

Lotief would be a good hitting coach

Once an athlete enters the portal, all obligations by the school in regards to athletic grant-in-aide money is severed.

I wouldn't be surprised if Shelly Landry is kept as the hitting coach. Shelly learned under ML and she definitely had an impact on Cecelia V. this past season. Not sure, but keeping her on the staff may have been a prerequisite for the new coach.

Didn’t we have a basketball player last year who went in the portal, but came back? So it’s not out of the question.
