What does "AAU Ball" got to do with anything? Everything "club" is not AAU. Charlie Domino will tell you there are over 56,000 girls playing "AAU Ball" throughout the country. All are not D-I players and most have never won anything at the National Championship. My choice for the next head coach at UL will be someone that can recruit the best players on the AAU, Elite Summer Showcase, EA Sports Showcase, Southeast Summer Invitational, and all the other big time tournament championship teams, not the teams that pay for play to simply be there. A big plus would be someone with international connections. How many teams did we see in the SBC with dominating foreign players? If UL wants to be bigtime they need a head coach that can attract players beyond it's backyard and that includes Texas. I am not saying you can't win with the best players in LA, TX, MS, and AL, but you won't win with the players LSU, UT, MSU, and UA are not recruiting.
Don't we want to be better than McNeese? Don't get me wrong, I would love to have their record and NCAA trips but this hire should separate UL from all but LSU. That's the message I would send to Scott Farmer.
Hope he is listening!
