Won the bet.

On Jan 1st a few of the softball guys made a bet that I couldn't keep from posting for the duration of the Cajuns softball season. Well they lost. Tomorrow Coach Glasco will conduct exit interviews and start working on his schedule for next season. In my opinion this off season will be the most critical off season of Glasco time here. Next season is his best shot at getting to the WCWS and doing some damage. Key off season questions marks:
1. What will his coaching staff look like?
2. Who transfers in?
3. Who transfers out?
4. What does the team do different to reach the next level?
5. Will any incoming or red shirt freshman step up?
6. How will the schedule play out? Could they be in position to be a national seed? Good times ahead. Geaux Cajuns.

4. What does the team do different to reach the next level?

-Go get an elite pitcher to compliment what we already have on staff.

"Won the bet"

Impressive, but I missed you.

Isn't that on everyone's wish list. We do need another front line ace pitcher and a few other pieces.

I counted 16 players out for the anthem. Did our Fr that are being red shirted not dress for the tournament?

I wonder how things would have gone with Allred, Piskos, and Campbell on the team all season. That's 3 big bats we didn't have for much of this season. Hmmmmm!

S.Ryan didn't pan out. Can say the same about Delbrey. There might be something we haven't seen that keeps them on the team. Hope so!

Looking forward to seeing what the RFr have, and if any true Fr contribute. He's gonna need a big signing class for 2026. We'll be losing 5 really good position players after next season.

Pretty sure plucking an elite pitcher with experience is similar to finding a needle in a haystack, but Coach did it before, maybe he can do it again.

1of the 2 redshirt freshman dressed out. The other two players were Vic and Chloe warming up in the bullpen.

The team lost a lot of power without Allred, Piskos and Campbell. We needed those type players in a game like today.

And we will see how Glasco’s interview with Auburn goes.

Good to hear. I like Coach Glasco.

What happened to Allred Piskos and Campell?

I have been giving some thought to what we need to accomplish in the off season to complement the very good nucleus of players now on our team. In my opinion, the following needs must be addressed if we are to advance to OKC:

1. An elite pitcher; preferably an experienced one. If she has two or more years of eligibility left, so much the better, but a grad transfer is ok. This could be Delbrey or Ryan, but a transfer or recruit is more likely.

2. Another good defensive catcher with a power bat, so Vic doesn't have to catch every game. This might be addressed internally, as Allred was recruited as a catcher/corner infielder.

3. At least one more quality middle infielder and one more corner infielder, as Ellestad, Roe and Langliers will all be Seniors next year.

4. A long, athletic outfielder with speed and a power bat; Hayden and Falterman will both be Seniors next year.

5. Make sure the Hunter Veaches don't go anywhere else.

Notice the recurring theme of long athletes with speed and power bats; I love our girls who are slappers, but the days of winning at an elite level with small ball are over. Speed still kills; but you want that speed to come with power. I would rather see a hitting lineup of 9 girls with the offensive abilities of Brooke Ellestad than one with 9 Mihyia Davis clones.

Allred was injured and is taking a medical redshirt. Piskos missed the last two months for undisclosed reasons and Campbell left the team for personal reasons.

Another enjoyable Cajun softball season. Glasco teams have been getting a little better each year since he got here. This year we saw improvements in both defense and offense, mainly because players weren’t switched around to different positions as much as in the past. But, the biggest improvement was in base running. Except for the leaving early problems, we didn’t have near as many base running problems as Glasco teams of the past. We came so close to the supers. Just ran into a real good Baylor team. I’m already excited about next year. GEAUX CAJUNS

Vic plays softball? I thought he was just a troll on RP.

I heard a rumor from a not so reliable source that Justin will be the next head baseball coach at STM? What say you JMV?

He was being courted by another "big" program last year. A little bit nervous about this offseason. No inside info on what may come, though.

If we were to lose him to a job like STM, at least it's still part of the community.

Just an opinion, he isn't going anywhere until after next season. He has too much invested in that top recruiting class to leave them their SR year. He may retire, or goes to another school, or stays 2-3 more years. I have no idea, but I'd bet money on him staying here next season.

Justin has two girls. His interest is now 100% softball. I can’t see him not waiting our Coach Glasco’s retirement to hopefully become the Louisiana HSBC. Seems to me that the only resume booster move in that respect would be to take a softball head coaching job somewhere else. I don’t think he is leaving Lafayette as both his family and his wife are local. Not sure such a move would provide better experience than coaching under Glasco and it would be just that HC designation.

I'm sure he is valued around the area for his baseball knowledge. Good for him if he gets the job.

Victoria Valdez (Vic)

He was posting last night regardless, did he cause the season to end early just to win a bet?
