This can't happen anymore.

Im not sure the Cajuns would be considered top 25 as of now.

See definition of perennial

This thread is really confusing. We are mad that UL didnt recruit softball players that signed with Southern Miss and Creighton? Or am I reading this wrong? (I’m being 100% serious, someone please explain the outrage)

History doesn't help this seasons team in any sport.

That would be nice. Never say Never.

Coach Habetz has recruited the fan base as well as anyone could expect.

Look at ticket sales

If she is going to keep Louisiana a perennial top-25 program she will have to demonstrate the same ability when it comes to recruiting great softball talent.

Having said that, if Habetz did in fact miss on these players CajunCrazy is accurate, all the other perennials (as well as the ones who are ranked less often) missed as well.

Having said that she should have a handle on local talent above and beyond the other perennials.

Time will tell.

Again, did UL “miss” on players that instead signed with mediocre programs?

I still don’t get what the issue is here.

Had these young ladies wanted to be Ragin Cajuns, and weren’t recruited by UL…and ended up at SEC programs (or some other perineal top 20 school), I would completely understand the point here.

But these players went to Southern Miss and Creighton for gods sake.

So I still don’t get what this is about.

One of these playwrs is a first team all state player and top 25 ranked position player in her class and you are telling me she wasn't good enough to play at UL? The same player that has struck out only one time in 338 varsoty at bats. These players also had other offers btw. Don't take my word for it. The current STM baseball and softball coaches both know these players are good enough to play at UL. One coached at UL and one has sent plenty of players to the next level. Once again it's not personal to me as I am not related to any of these players.

I hope coaches (any sport) don't get caught up in "who else" is recruiting this athlete.

iM sO cOnFuSeD! Geezus, what is so confusing about this? I'm not here to say whether UL should or shouldn't have signed these players. And whether you like or dislike JMV, the dude does know softball and local players, more than me and you. I went look up that player.....absolute stud. But this argument that "aLL the PeRrEnNiAl top 25 teams passed oN hEr, what's the StOrY?" Really? So that's the end all be all? You know how many great players that weren't recruited by "perennial top 25 teams"? Our rosters in every sport is filled with players that went on to be great college and pro players that weren't. I'm sure glad we did sign players like Ron Guidry and Brian Mitchell, who didn't have a laundry list of "perennial top 25" teams. I get why, but some of yall are letting your disdain for JMV cloud your common sense. If this same post had come from someone else, I don't think we'd be seeing some of this nonsense. But, fire away, I guess.

Some kids can't wait to get away from mom and dad.. so they go to Creighton

Omaha

[R1Letterman]

Im old enough to remember alleging kids from sTm didnt go to UL was a conspiracy theory, oh wait, still is.

So was NIL involved? Or l the press regarding coach huff. Plus creighton are jesuit blue jays, where was boomer
