Interest in Jessie

[RedBug58]

Don't count Ricky out.....He's not the same guy that some of us remember coaching at STM years ago. He's well seasoned now having been an asst at UL, then at South Florida, head coach at Nichols going to the NCAA twice (just like Jessee), then LSU. I wouldn't mind seeing him come here and maybe bring Butch Pierre with him......That makes me grin.....

Why are you concerned about so much talk about Rickey Broussard? Doesn't it seem logical that if so many people are excited about the possibility of getting Rickey that he might just be the best man for the job! Look at the most sucessful progams at UL and see where the coaches came from. (Roby is from I believe Crowley and didn't he coach at Ryan Street High School(AKA< McNeese from the Southland Conference) where Rickey also coached Nicholls to two NCAA appearances. All this with a high school gym to recruit from. Isn't Yvette Girouard from Broussard and went to Comeaux High School? Lotief went to Northside high school and he is doing pretty good for a local guy. National search is what got us Marty and Jesse, it's time for a local boy in basketball, and by the way one that can flat out coach. That's what I'm excited about!

STM-itis! National Search!

I'm a Lafayette High guy, but a few years ago we enrolled my oldest daughter at STM. The open house looked like a Lafayette High reunion from the 70's. Seems like most of the people that I went to school with put their kids in STM. It ain't cheap, but I see the results in my kids every day. Athletically, you'll always see the kids coming out of STM with good grades and discipline. Recruiting wise, we should hit STM & Teurlings hard every year. Yes, I have STM-itis!!

I agree 100%...........Rickey, Rickey, Rickey!!! GOOOOOOOOO Rickey! (back to Lafayette that is!!) I think it would be a good hire and bring tremendous support back to the program. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with hiring a local guy to take over the BB program. People change over time and I think Rickey has also, and would do a good job! There is nothing wrong with STM-itis. They never have tremendous players, but they are very disciplined and play & give 100% on every down/play! My kids will be going there starting in 2011.

and another thing.....STM PLAYERS ARE USUALLY ELIGIBLE!!!!!

[realitycajun]

AMEN bigearl!! Give me an average over achieving ELIGIBLE player ANYDAY over some of what Jesse has brought in. Not bashing the kids!

All of this Rickey Broussard talk reminds me of when we were looking for a head football coach and everyone said Louis Cook. If Jessie decides to go to USF, then I would love to see Robert Lee get the job. The guy has put in his time with this university, he does a great job preparing for the game, and from what I hear of Robert Lee from other people that if he was head coach, that there is no way he would allow some of the things that Jessie Evans allows to go on.

[bigearl]

Plain and simple... WE NEED A DISIPLINARIAN. That doesn't mean that guy can't be Evans. I liked the move he made at the end of the year suspending Greene and Williams. I think that was a step in the right direction for Evans as a displinarian but it has to continue on a day in- day out basis. It remains to be seen if JEssie Evans can succeed at that.
