Jace Conrad and Chaz Hebert commit to UL baseball

[cajunfan32]

By the way. Jace's younger brother Brenn is impressive too. he started last year at 3rd as a sophmore and was very good. he has a good arm and can hit well too. I know i'm thinking way ahead but i hope we are able to get him as well.

Is it easier to recruit those type of players bacause we won the conference & went to a regional this year? I'm sure local kids want to stay closer to home, but winning solves a lot when it comes to recruting IMO.

Winning always has something to do with it, as does new upgraded facilities in the near future. My understanding is the baseball is now close to the number that is needed for the upgrade, thanks to some recent donations of several people including Paul Bako and BJ Ryan.

BTW, the Cajuns have four local juniors rated at the top of their boards in the 2011 Class, Conrad and Hebert are two of them.

_ Zach's younger brother, Logan, is a rising senior at Clear Lake High School in Texas. He plays first base for the baseball team and on the defensive line for the football team. _

He's a man. Saw him at the regionals in Austin and he's a big ol boy.

_ .... It's also good that we finally got someone from our own back yard. We may or may not have this problem with our baseball team but i know our football team has trouble signing guys from the area. maybe that's not the case for baseball. I know we have a few guys on our team from acadiana, LHS, terlings, and other schools from the area but it doesnt seem like we get enough. _

About half of the roster is from within a 25 mile radius of campus.

I love hearing that former athletes like Bako and Ryan are giving back. That is great news. They were at UL while I was there, so it even is more important to me.

Geaux Cajuns!!!!!

Do you realize there has been a Cajun Catcher in the Major Leagues every year since 1998. Paul Bako held that distinction from 1998-2009, now J-Luc is carrying on the tradition, I would love to see Chad Keefer continue that tradition as well, but I can not see where Chad is playing anywhere according to www.milb.com.

Anyone have any information on him?

Speaking of David Lucroy: Spoke with him earlier today. He committed last night to East Carolina.

Keefer was drafted in the 28th round by the Marlins. He was to have a screw removed from his foot July 12. Played all year with it after hurting foot last summer.

yea now that i think about it that is just a problem with our football team. Our baseball team does a great job of bringing local talent. I hope they continue to do so.

I know this is a little off topic but Josh, what's the word on the Florida basketball transfer that was considering the cajuns?
