What is going on? This coaching staff can not keep his team intact. Now they are leaving for peer schools.

I was actually thinking it shows we’re recruiting the right kids..

And some think nobody is coming after a young softball team in a week or so.

Stop recruiting international players. We have elite girl soccer talent in Lafayette and BR. Area high schools are constantly ranking in the top 10 nationally. And the UL coach isn’t interested.

Who said that nobody would?

Which area high schools? I only know of one.

STM and St Joe in BR. Offer the best player or two on each team every year.

Do you know there are three seperate high school seasons played nationally, and each one has a "champion'? Louisiana plays in the winter season, along with California, Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Arizona. The other 43 states play fall or spring. Big fish, not even a little pond, more like a ditch.

And all the "elite" talent you speak of, take a look at who got signed by any serious D1 soccer program. This isn't all I am sure, but it paints the picture pretty accurately.

So being ranked against Texas, Cali and Fla isn’t impressive? STM’s team this year could have played with anyone in the country and their ranking reflected that.

These girls compete in club tournaments around the country and win their too. In fact the Cajun Rush girls team made it nationals again this year. Against all 50 states.

I believe we have elite talent and they are falling through the cracks.
