Robichaux to play for his dad at UL

[raginsaints]

If he's drafted that high, he's gonna get some good money and it's going to be tough to say no.

_ I am just absolutely shocked that we are able to land this recruit. I mean, we got lucky with Justin Robichaux, but to get Austin is just mind boggling. Kudos to Coach Robe and his staff for somehow convincing the kid to come here. _

I heard Robe was sleeping with the kid's mother

_ This will be a wait and see how high he gets drafted type of deals. Pitching staff is shaping up real nice though. _

You are right on, there was never any doubt where Austin was going to play college ball. But he has a chance to be one of the highest rated high school MLB draft prospects in the Louisiana 2011 class.

  Early in his life, Austin Robichaux created a list of three main goals he hoped to achieve at some point during his baseball career.

Win a high school state championship. Lead his college team to the College World Series. Play in the major leagues.

As a prep junior, Robichaux met his first goal by helping Notre Dame win the Class 3A state title under the direction of uncle Tim Robichaux. After verbally committing to play for his father, UL head coach Tony Robichaux, the all-state pitcher now turns his focus to crossing off the last two items from that list.

With the players coming in and the NEW REINVATIONS TO HAPPEN DURING THEIR 4 YEARS, CAJUN BASEBALL WILL BE AWESOME.

Ausitn committing is exciting. Only thing that worries me is him getting drafted. he could go around the 2nd or 3rd round and although he said he really wants to play for his dad, it's hard to pass up that kind of money.
