This can't happen anymore.

Sorry, but I am going to give the staff the power to recruit and sign whoever they feel is best for the program. That does not mean these players are not good, there are many reasons why good players don't get recruited to a school.

There are also reasons why they miss.

What is the political nature of your frustration. Without knowing that, we can’t really consider your argument.

This. Time will definitely tell. If both players have careers in which they become All Americans, Conference MVP's and set school and conference records, then we will be able to say that Habetz/UL missed on them if they really weren't recruited. But has anyone thought that maybe UL did offer them and that the schools that they eventually signed with just offered them more, either athletically or academically? Kids sign with schools for a myriad of reasons. I mean I look back at someone like Bailey Hemphill who was a first team All American and SEC MVP. Does anyone think that UL didn't offer her? Maybe what Alabama offered her was more than what UL was offering.

History doesn't help this seasons team in any sport.

It certainly pertains to recruiting. There is a reason sports have teams called blue bloods.

Cut to the chase, who’s kid didn’t get recruited and is butt hurt?

iM sO cOnFuSeD! Geezus, what is so confusing about this? I'm not here to say whether UL should or shouldn't have signed these players. And whether you like or dislike JMV, the dude does know softball and local players, more than me and you. I went look up that player.....absolute stud. But this argument that "aLL the PeRrEnNiAl top 25 teams passed oN hEr, what's the StOrY?" Really? So that's the end all be all? You know how many great players that weren't recruited by "perennial top 25 teams"? Our rosters in every sport is filled with players that went on to be great college and pro players that weren't. I'm sure glad we did sign players like Ron Guidry and Brian Mitchell, who didn't have a laundry list of "perennial top 25" teams. I get why, but some of yall are letting your disdain for JMV cloud your common sense. If this same post had come from someone else, I don't think we'd be seeing some of this nonsense. But, fire away, I guess.

Well, like I said, I was seriously asking what the issue was. And it had nothing to do with JMV…I dont have any problem with him at all. I was simply asking the question, and that question being relative to where these 2 players signed.

But thanks for the lecture.

This. Everyone was/is giddy about Ally getting the job. I’m going to lean towards trusting her, and her staff’s judgment on who they offer and who they dont.

Glasco recruited that school and was able to get a commitment from a player from that school. He had to have seen these 2 girls play and he evidently didn’t offer them either. So who was making the political decision against having those 2 girls here.

I fall into the group that believes that if they were good enough for us to regret not signing them, they would not be going to USM or Creighton. I am sure they are wonderful young ladies and very good players, but their destinations tell me that they are not elite talent.
