Making the trip to the Ragin' Cajun Elite Camp this past Sunday to break the news personally to UL first-year coach Mark Hudspeth was just lagniappe.

I noticed that the Batiste commitment story was written by Brady Aymond. Maybe he is still helping out the folks at The Advertiser before his move to Pensacola. I had been expecting Bruce Brown to write those articles until the new beat writer came on board. Either way, I hear the coaches are real excited to get Batiste. They think he will flourish in their system and may be a guy who plays early.

Brady was on vacation last week, which had been scheduled back in January.

His actual last day is this Friday.

Since Brady is staying with the same company, I was hoping he would take the vacation his first week on the job. You know time to move in.

Would have been nice if it had worked out that way, because I could sure use the extra time off to pack up things and move. But as Jay said, my vacation was scheduled back in January, when I was still doing high school stuff.

Bad timing for the UL beat, since I was on vacation during Sun Belt Media Days and while other things were happening, but it was a vacation I couldn't change because I had already booked and paid for a cruise that week.
