Meyers signs with UL track

Hasn't he done well signing private school kids, especially distance runners? My problem is with the lack of talent in the relays/sprints. Not enough talent at this point to be a contender.

That's a problem he will consistently face. Louisiana only produces maybe 3-5 sprinters a year that can compete on the collegiate level. 10.5 is slow in collegiate track. It's very hard to be consistent in the sprints when you just don't have a whole lot to choose from.

We use to win Sun Belt titles with dominating the field events and squeezing out 40-50 points from the track.

I think the other problem I see with the track and field program is the lack of depth. If you look at the results of the conference meet, the teams up top were having 2 or 3 athletes finishing in the top 8, which is where the points are won. The Cajuns, when they finished in the top 8, only had 1 athlete. That's not enough.

There are different philosophies. I would rather have a team that is built for a NC than a Sun Belt title.

What I mean by that is offer full rides to kids who are legit top 3 NCAA contenders. Get 10 or so athletes to place in the top 5 at the NCAA championships and you have a very good shot at winning it.
