Alright, let's have the talk: Correcting Recruits on the Name

[Swamp]

Orientation in the mid 70s was a great way to meet that new crop of chicas

So was the Pub!

We've seen people correcting recruits on the name. These players (teenagers) are tweeting out interest, visits and commitments using the names most of us don't like.

What is the correct way to handle this?

Ragin Review's official stance: Get them into the fold and educate them on the name once they're enrolled. It's a bad look to correct prospectus recruits publicly on a name battle that they're unfamiliar with.

grown men sending public messages to high school athletes is creepy i say that as a old geezer myself. whats worse is the men using unsocial media to contact high school female athletes. pedophile behavior. what do your wives think of that?

Very nice way of doing it. Just comment something simple like I hope you enjoyed your visits at UL. Geaux Cajuns. Or welcome to Louisiana. Geaux Cajuns. They will catch on.

Right. Louisiana. Not University of Louisiana. I saw some corrections that said "It's the University of Louisiana." That's not correct and further confuses them.

If we can call ourselves Louisiana athletically, we can call ourselves Louisiana academically. Do that and the confusion goes away. Dr. S just needs to do it. And, I fully agree on moving to an "L" and modernizing the Ragin Cajuns logo.

And, the Advocate does us no favors with UL Lafayette plastered all over their digital website. The menu and opening of each article says UL Lafayette. That needs to change. They might use UL and Louisiana in their articles, but there is no consistency and that contributes to this.

We can't call ourself Louisiana academically.

[HoustonCajun]

We can't call ourself Louisiana academically.

Why not? Why can't we use this (centered) - Texas does this:

LOUISIANA
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette
