What happened to Allred Piskos and Campell?
I have been giving some thought to what we need to accomplish in the off season to complement the very good nucleus of players now on our team. In my opinion, the following needs must be addressed if we are to advance to OKC:
1. An elite pitcher; preferably an experienced one. If she has two or more years of eligibility left, so much the better, but a grad transfer is ok. This could be Delbrey or Ryan, but a transfer or recruit is more likely.
2. Another good defensive catcher with a power bat, so Vic doesn't have to catch every game. This might be addressed internally, as Allred was recruited as a catcher/corner infielder.
3. At least one more quality middle infielder and one more corner infielder, as Ellestad, Roe and Langliers will all be Seniors next year.
4. A long, athletic outfielder with speed and a power bat; Hayden and Falterman will both be Seniors next year.
5. Make sure the Hunter Veaches don't go anywhere else.
Notice the recurring theme of long athletes with speed and power bats; I love our girls who are slappers, but the days of winning at an elite level with small ball are over. Speed still kills; but you want that speed to come with power. I would rather see a hitting lineup of 9 girls with the offensive abilities of Brooke Ellestad than one with 9 Mihyia Davis clones.
Another enjoyable Cajun softball season. Glasco teams have been getting a little better each year since he got here. This year we saw improvements in both defense and offense, mainly because players weren’t switched around to different positions as much as in the past. But, the biggest improvement was in base running. Except for the leaving early problems, we didn’t have near as many base running problems as Glasco teams of the past. We came so close to the supers. Just ran into a real good Baylor team. I’m already excited about next year. GEAUX CAJUNS
Just an opinion, he isn't going anywhere until after next season. He has too much invested in that top recruiting class to leave them their SR year. He may retire, or goes to another school, or stays 2-3 more years. I have no idea, but I'd bet money on him staying here next season.
Justin has two girls. His interest is now 100% softball. I can’t see him not waiting our Coach Glasco’s retirement to hopefully become the Louisiana HSBC. Seems to me that the only resume booster move in that respect would be to take a softball head coaching job somewhere else. I don’t think he is leaving Lafayette as both his family and his wife are local. Not sure such a move would provide better experience than coaching under Glasco and it would be just that HC designation.
