This can't happen anymore.

I was told by a few different people that Coach Ally has already been told that they missed on these kids. JMV didn't tell me this, but I trust in his judgment of talent. Coaches at STM knows these kids can play at UL.

Who cares? She has an opportunity to build her own program here and establish a system. I've found coaches in many cases are no different than parents and fans, they all have opinion. Some of those opinions are not worth the time of day to be concerned with. I have no opinion on either athlete and I hope they have success in their careers. Neither will have any impact on the success or non-success of the UL program.

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.

LoL! Sorry brother. I get carried away

This is ridiculous, I've heard this nonsense for years concerning football and baseball. This is Coach Habetz's first season, and we already have a "Karen" complaining about not offering two kids that played locally. How about we let Coach Habetz run her program and judge her on results.

I get what youre saying T, but this is Ragin Pagin.....what else would we talk about? LoL

Articles like this frustrates the ____ out me. In order for UL softball to prosper and grow the Cajuns need to land the best players in the state and then recruit out from that. Two kids 10 mins down the road going to other programs sucks. I have seen both of these kids play numerous times, obviously one more than the other, but UL should have considered both of them. STM and their club teams play top notch talent and they have the stats to back up their play on the field. Also both have great grades and high character. Hopefully from this day on the Cajuns can get the very best talent in their back yard first. With NIL now it will get harder and harder to get kids from further away.

So let me get this straight...

- Player A commits to Southern Miss (last regional: 2004) in July. She had also given "strong consideration" to Wichita State (5 regional appearances since 2016), though unknown if she had offers.

- Player B originally committed to Northwestern State (last regional: 2014) but decommitted when Lacy Prejean left to go to UL. She then committed to Creighton (last regional: 2010)

- Allyson Habetz--softball coach who helped guide Alabama to six SEC regular season titles, five SEC Tournament titles, 14 Women's College World Series appearances and a 2012 national championship--missed when she didnt recruit Player A and Player B...even though 1/3 of her initial signing class are from the same school as Player A and Player B.

- Using the same logic, Beth Torina--softball coach of a rival SEC school 50 miles west who has seven 40-win seasons and four trips to the Women’s College World Series--missed when she didn't recruit Player A and Player B.

- The head coaches of McNeese, ULM, and whatever other in-state school missed when they didn't recruit Player A and Player B.

- JMV has seen both Player A and Player B play, and they are among the best players of the state.

We should totally trust JMV on this....he knows softball. Allyson, Beth, and the other HCs are clearly not as smart.

This is in no way to disparage Player A or B. I hope they go on to be All-Americans, because I like locals succeeding. But I think I trust Allyson Habetz over JMV.

We could look for the telemetry data

I see some comments referring to "relationships with HS coaches". If that's EXACTLY what it is, that's a toughy. If relationship means "how much $$$ the coach is getting".....screw em.
