Hired late 2017. Give him a mulligan in 2018 due to all of the transfers.

Why do 2019, 2020, and 2021 recruiting classes not count as his first real recruiting class?

I do not agree with COVID year not counting as all softball programs were recruiting under same conditions.

Cajun softball player development has decreased sharply since 2018.
2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 classes were able to commit in the 8th grade and girls typically don't back out of any verbal commitments. Gerry was basically getting kids that nobody else wanted and was not already committed. Now coaches can't talk to kids until there senior year of high school. These kids that are hear now was the first class he could talk to that and that resulted in a #1 national ranked class, next years class is ranked #11 and between us is probably better than the 2021 class.
