Who’s the pitching coach? Would he entertain Austin if he’s interested? What about Bab director of baseball operations?

Glad to see Robe’s legacy of teaching students to be men will continue on. He always said that you play baseball for a few years but you are a man for many! Good luck Coach Deggs & geaux Cajuns! RIP knowing you shared the Lords grace with so many.
