It looks like he said UL or Louisiana and the author changed it.
Looks to be another good get for the baseball program.Quote:
"(UL Lafayette) is really the school I've been working toward for the past year, year-and-a-half," Campbell said. "That's where I've always wanted to go. They have a great program. They have a great coaching staff and everything."
Oliver Campbell is a nationally regional ranked player by Perfect Game. He is the second HS athlete out of the Monroe area the Cajuns have secured Caleb Armstrong is the other. I mentioned both in the Todd Lott and Caleb Armstrong stories.Quote:

North Louisiana has never been a stronghold in recruiting for us. This is showing times are a changin.Quote:

Can you remember a time when such decorated ball players were coming in on a regular basis? This year and last have been incredible.
Coach Robe has the momentum of the baseball GODS!!! So excited about how we are becoming talent rich to the point we don't rebuild, just reload.
Image when we do rebuild, the stadium that is.Quote:

I am soooo glad Coach Robe re-upped and that he is OUR head coach... All things considered... not just on the field.... we have the best coach in the nation
The success on the field and in recruiting has to be energizing for him as well.
and whats most important, he is not looking to jump ship no matter what success comes his way. Robe is truly a UL MAN !!!!!
No coach on the planet deserves & has earned facility upgrades more than Tony.....he needs to be throwing that 1st pitch in his new Baseball Temple sooner vs later. We are blessed to have him.
The question must be asked...does Tony retire if the renovations to the Tigue fall through a second time?
No, he has already stated he is not going anywhere until the ball park is upgraded.
I guess that means we should delay it another 10 years? I told y'all Farmer had a plan!Quote:

Just my opinion, but I think a lot more about "Tony" himself and the program he runs has been advertised the last year and a half. I think that has a lot to do with recruiting as well. Parents are more content with their kids here than signing a minor league contract. jmoQuote:

Then after playing in the minor leagues for a few years, come home and try to figure out what to do with the rest of their lives.Quote:
