Ok found it myself.

If true, What do you guys think?

Obviously, it seems like he would be a good fit for the program. He is from the Lafayette area, has coached on the high school level, and is alum of UL. Sounds like a good fit.

And would obviously have a good relationship with Garry Brodhead at Teurlings Catholic as Errol was a founder of the AAU Acadiana Stars, which Garry and his wife now run. Perhaps there may be a spot for Garry on Errol's staff.

I think it is a good hire, if true.

_ KLFY Channel 10 @ 6 pm said it was Errol Rogers. _

Two close sources I know to Broadhead said the same.

Yes Errol Rogers is the coach of choice. He coached at Holy Rosary Institute in Lafayette for a few years then at Opelousas Catholic for a few years then went to Lafayette High for a few years before getting into college coaching at bethune Cookman in FL then he went to MS State where he has been for 3-4 years. From the area with many local ties in high school and AAU.

Once the UL womens basketball program belonged in ER.

Now it's in the hands of ER.

Anyone know how long of a drive to College Station? No matter what regional we end up in, it's the weekend of my birthday so I'm going to party.

Yes, it is about two hours.

It's about 5-6 hours. The best route is to take I-10 to Beaumont. When you get in Beaumont, take 69 N toward Jasper and Silsbee. While still in Beaumont on 69, look for the sign for Sour Lake [it may be hwy 105, or it may be 326]. Go through Sour Lake and Saratoga to Cleveland. By now, I know you are on 105. Follow 105 through Cleveland and Conroe to Navasota. From Navasota, take 6 to College Station/Bryan.

This route lets you bypass all the greater Houston traffic except a little bit around Conroe. It's all Secondary roads, which in TX means it's only slightly better than Interstates here in Louisiana.

Most of the credit for this, obviously, goes to the regime of J. Kelley Hall. Remember, though, that some of the best players involved in the turnaround were : Ashley Blanche, Tiffany Washington, Bernette Tolston, Anna Petrakova, et al. Give a little credit to the much-maligned Gaye Nix for recruiting these players to start the turnaround.

I mentioned this in another thread, but the official NCAA RPI has the Cajuns coming in at #17. This matches the SEBaseball.com RPI. In fact, looking at the Top 25, the SEBaseball.com RPI from Monday (through games of 4/29) is amazingly similar to that of the official NCAA RPI released today (through games of 4/29).

In the 5/2 SEBaseball.com RPI, the Cajuns remain at #17 but their Adjusted RPI rose last night from .5955 to .5967 due to favorable opponent and opponents' opponents results.

From a strictly power standpoint we should then play at the weakest number one seed, and have the best chance to get to a super regional......

[GoneGolfin]

The teams sandwiched around the Cajuns in the Adjusted RPI both lost tonight.

Wichita State at #16 (.5985) lost to #184 Northern Iowa 4-3. #18 (.5918) Nebraska lost to #11 (.6120) Coastal Carolina tonight at home, 8-3.

The Cajuns are at #17 with a rating of .5967 and should move up to #16 tomorrow.
