Softball Offseason

[JMV JustMyView]

I have always refrained from commenting on these threads (I am guilty of stopping in to read from time to time) however, I feel compelled to give my irrelevant 2 cents here. While there is always great insight, info and loyal fan perspectives on here for the most part, I can tell you that each of the things discussed in this thread in particular (Coaches, recent portal additions, etc.) there are many MANY layers below the surface level discussions as to why certain things are / are not taking place.

I also find it comical when reading, the amount of comments claiming to "know" that really have no clue or a very small portion of the truth. I will also add, as being someone that really is in the know most of the time regarding softball, JMV is the most accurate with his inside info into the program. LOL

Tbh I'm not what I would call a true insider. I am a huge fan who just so happens to know all right people and they have the most information. The key to everything is trust and I never give up my sources.

Kayla missed like 3 weeks due to a concussion and sore neck.

We were talking about 2024 season not 2025 season.

I’m thinking we should get a lot of info by July 1st or on July 1st for assistant coaches.

That's a great plan. Let the good coaches get jobs elsewhere while we wait.

If by "Learn to Cope" with the NIL you mean raise more money VO, then you hit the nail on the head. People are concerned and disappointed, but between Softball and Baseball NIL goals, this program is not close.

As with every program at UL we need more folks to open their wallets. UL try to get the same folks that give too just give more. They have to figure out a way to cultivate new fans and new money.

Who is in charge of Krewe Allons since Aiken left?

Look, nothing is stopping anyone from giving money. I do agree many of the same people have paved the way in funding these programs. If Southern Miss can raise $400K for baseball and other programs are raising money for softball like James Madison, fans need to step up. This board provides people the opportunity to express their concerns as cost continue to rise for supporters. But let's be clear, the results this summer are crystal clear, NIL money is needed to move back to the top of SBC. If you have tickets in multiple sports, you have probably received emails or letters requesting donations.

He's back from what I've recently heard.

I get what you are saying. I'm just saying fresh blood is needed to provide more $$$. Also I am tired of hearing about NIL. I was standing next to a member on this site and we were talking to Coach Aly. This gentleman offered a good amount of money as a donation to the program. He asked Coach where she wanted the donation and she said not towards NIL please donate it to the Center Field Club that way I can use it anyway that I see needed.

Coach Aly did a great thing by releasing someone who had zero business being a hitting coach so kudos to her for making that move.

Is this the second Cajun softball coach that Landry double-crossed? If I remember correctly, she led the mutiny against the coach before Glasco and now has been run off by Habetz for recruiting against UL while still on payroll.
