What to make of UL coach's reaction to loss to LSU this week

[NewsCopy]

There's been a lot of conversation this week about UL coach Alyson Habetz's animated postgame interview after her Ragin' Cajuns suffered a humbling 8-0 no-hitter defeat to LSU.

She was angry, embarrassed, and, frankly, tired of losing.

When you play in front of a packed house at Lamson Park, there's really not a lot of other ways to react.

She mentioned that she thought the program is still headed in the right direction, regardless of the scoreboard. That really doesn't make sense.

Like was the problem in MBB... like is the problem in WBB... and is a good part of the issue with baseball... it comes down to recruiting enough talent. The softball team lacks sufficient talent to compete even in the neighborhood of where we've been accustomed to competing.

On the money, recruiting is 70-80% of a winning formula. The other is coaching, etc.

Add football to that list.

Recruiting got a whole lot easier with the portal.

Way to many players available to create a price war.
