Glasco needs to go. (NOT)

[Mark Hemphill]

Thanks! Very informative post.

What happens when said university coaching staff member is also the travel ball coach?

I don’t believe coaching staff can also coach travel ball.

Lol. Just a little off with your timing. This rule change went into effect like in 2017. That nefarious NCAA changed the rule because they knew the Cajuns would eventually have a No. 1 recruiting class.

When did the 2021 class commit Ole wise one?

Glasco needs to go?

So we must be dealing with one of three things.
1. Disgruntled parent/player who is not good enough to play for the Cajuns. It happens. Playing for the Cajuns is not for everyone.
2. Disgruntled former coach who is trying to create problems because misery loves company.
3. Or a fan with an opinion who is just completely clueless about the game.

Opinions are great. However, calling for his job with his first recruiting class finally arriving on scene is a bit irrational. Not to mention being 23-9 with 6-7 freshman in the lineup every game is extremely solid in D1 sports. He is still trying to find the identity of his team and his first recruiting class. Please do not forget he inherited a program that was in complete disarray when he took over in 2018 and still won the conference. I will also say that no one wanted the job but Gerry Glasco after that mess was created. That takes courage and confidence to step in knowing he had a challenge in front of him. I honestly think Coach Glasco saved the program from a huge set back. He is a great man and a man of integrity and honor that some do not understand. He has been offered Power 5 jobs and has stayed loyal to the Ragin Cajuns Community which is the best in the country. The parity in softball is ridiculous today. So if you are going off of losing to Texas St in the 3rd game of the series after winning the first two then you are completely out of the loop. Since taking over the job Coach Glasco is 181-49. Four conference championships. Two conference tournament championships and 2X coach of the year. Pretty impressive. Professionally he was 96-46 with 3 Cowles Cup Championships. Again, pretty impressive I would say. But we want to talk about Glasco needs to go, and development because of a loss to Texas St.. Tap the breaks. He's one of the best coaches in the country and a great man that develops these student athletes into awesome young ladies with confidence and character. We all want to win, but let's not miss the bigger picture here.

VERY WELL SAID!

This is a place for Ragin' Cajun fans to post, whether that be positive or negative comments. Those posts are then open to remarks (as is mine).

The goal of this place is/should be for our (OUR) fans to show their support of the program. Sometimes that comes in a negative fashion, but if that is to right a wrong it is ultimately a positive post. Ok, enough of me posting before my first cup of coffee!

Officially? 2020. They couldn't even talk offers with Glasco until September of their Junior year. I checked and the recruiting rule change went into effect in 2018. Doubtful that any of the 2021 class was recruited by Glasco to attend UL prior to that date since he didn't get to UL until 2018 and pretty sure none of those girls were committed to Lotief at that point in time and stayed the course. Glasco might have recruited a couple of them when he was at A&M but not all of them. Remember, Glasco was at Auburn when UL hired him. Most of the 2021 signees played travel ball for Lacy when she was coaching in the Hotshots organization so that's the likely connection you are looking for. There is nothing stopping a potential student athlete from announcing any time prior to her junior year in high school that she is going to attend a certain school but that is a one sided commitment. The coach or the school can't acknowledge it and the potential student athlete can't know what she is going to get athletic money wise because the coach isn't allowed to discuss it with her or her family or her representative unless she is a junior in high school. So unless the PSA is a die hard fan of a particular school dead set on going to that school or a legacy athlete, why make an announcement of attendance prior to your junior year?

Not valid…. Every one of the 21’ class was recruited by Glasco. And Coach Lacy did not coach any of them.

I have been watching this team for some time.

The post above + the post below = does not compute.

It's obvious what's going on here. Get a life.

I don’t know this Mike guy

That's what I thought. A good many of that class had committed to him before that rule was put in place. May hear a few others in the know clarify this issue.

A little off topic but, it seems like SB tickets are $3.50 with $11 service fees. I would rather give that $11 to UL. Any suggestions?

Purchase your tickets at the cajundome box office or kiosk at the UL sports venue you are attending. You will pay a small fee, but nothing on the order of what you pay online via ticketmaster.
