Not too surprising. Bab basically had to stay as off the field since he doesnt take an assistant role. Interesting to see it a little more crystallized though. Talbot has defense/bench coach duties, etc.

Inevitably, we'll get to see Wells at 1B when Talbot is recruiting and people will theorize that we hit better during those games of course

I'm sure JT will never escape scapegoat status as long as he is on our staff. LOL. Not that he hasn't earned it.

I think the story here is Wells. I am not surprised that Deggs will take the reins and be hands-on with the offense. I think that is absolutely the right call. Just seems like JT was given some things I would have given to Wells. But, in Deggs I trust.

Hopefully the only thing they let Talbot touch is the fungo bat

JT has a history with Deggs, Wells doesn't

Do either you or T want to bite me? LOL

Jay, to reference Frank Ridgeway in Eddie and the Cruisers, I always assumed it to be a caesura.

Deggs has announced coaching roles. Per Buckley in the DA:

"While deciding Babineaux will continue in the off-the-field role he assumed last season, focusing on fundraising and community relations in addition to day-to-day operations of the program, Deggs also has assigned on-field responsibilities for his staff.

Deggs himself will oversee UL’s offensive efforts and coach third base. Recruiting-coordinator Talbot will coach first base, serve as bench coach and coordinate the Cajun defense. Wells will oversee hitters and catchers, and assist with recruiting. And Ryan will coach pitchers while also assisting with on-campus recruiting efforts."

This is what I expected for now. Of course I didn't know for certain and I certainly didn't know BJ Ryan would be the pitching coach. Now we move forward for Fall Ball and we can see how these kids compete against one another.

JT must be a cat - 9 lives. I hope he does well in this staff.

With the number of players eligible to return and the number of signees we have, this fall is going to be VERY interesting. The word intense comes to mind, but I don't think that word tells the story.

I had lunch with Coach Deggs yesterday. While I can't really talk about what we discussed, I can tell you he was blown away by BJ Ryan. BJ is one intense (there's that word again) dude.

I was an athlete during that era of Cajuns baseball and BJ Ryan and Nate Nelson was on a completely different level intensity wise than the rest of that bunch.

Nate Nelson was so fun to watch !!
