Best coach on campus immediately.

Coach Glasco just reposted the announcement of Coach Habetz on his FB page with the message:

“Some things are meant to be. This is one of those.”

The guy is a class act.

Kind of makes me wonder if this was the plan all along.

I didn’t know anything about her, as I moved back here in ‘96….i enjoy softball but I don’t follow it as much as football. I read the entire announcement….wow!!! Wow, what a talent and what exciting news for Louisiana! I might just buy some season tickets.

She will energize the program immediately. She is a relentless recruiter and and has numerous contacts amongst the travel and collegiate coaching ranks. I expect the UL softball program to remain relevant as a national contender all during her tenure.

Mark, you should know! I bet she recruited your daughter!!!!

Great news! Congrats to Coach Habetz and Geaux Cajuns!

I think we should give the girls that entered the portal a chance to change their minds. They jumped ship too soon. We can throw them a life ring and pull them back on the ship.

Maybe she can get Yvette to be an assistant or volunteer coach!

I'd treat that as the girls re-opening their recruiting.. although I have no idea if any of them have to forfeit scholarships, etc after entering the portal

The answer is no, but the new HC may decide to move on.

Hitting coach will be the biggest hire in my opinion. That is not at the top of Alyson's wheelhouse and doesn't need to be but that hire more than any other would seem to be a top priority.

Lotief would be a good hitting coach

Once an athlete enters the portal, all obligations by the school in regards to athletic grant-in-aide money is severed.

You funny......

I wouldn't be surprised if Shelly Landry is kept as the hitting coach. Shelly learned under ML and she definitely had an impact on Cecelia V. this past season. Not sure, but keeping her on the staff may have been a prerequisite for the new coach.
