My biggest concern is the same recruiter that has been missing on a ton of players the last 6 years.....Will still be with the program which makes zero sense I watched a recent interview with current Alabama HC Brad Bohannon and former coach Mitch Gaspard (current hitting coach and recruiting coordinator at LaTech), both said similar things on the subject of recruiting. Gaspard said that is was difficult to recruit to Alabama when he first became coach regardless of financial support because they were not going to regionals very often. Kids are now committing to programs as freshmen in HS and the Cajuns had not been to a Regional since 2016. Deggs took over the program, most of the top kids in Louisiana and East Texas for 2020, 2021 were off the board. Thus the move to sign a large number of JC players and transfers in the portal. Going forward, I think we will see a larger number of HS kids signed but it is imperative that the Cajuns get to a regional going forward to give this program a boost. The 2021 HS Class looks pretty good right now. 2021 ClassThe 2022 HS Class is in the works. 2022Do you believe Deggs will take over a bigger roll in recruiting or is JT still going to be scouting and offering players. Seems like it would be tough for a HC to do recruit evaluations and day to day operations |

You want to play devils advocate? Lets piggy back off of what you just said. If there jobs and lively hood depends on results then wouldn't they do everything they could to get Angel or anyone else back on track?He wasn't being used and maybe he personally felt that way, who knows what his feelings are. But I can tell you this staff didn't quit on him personally. The guy throws 98, so I would try everything over and over to get any issues fixed. Throwing 98 isn't a dime a dozen. I am pretty sure that they have tried everything in their arsenal to get him mound ready and it appears that they have failed. Robe has the same issue with Reagan Bazarr. Both coaching staffs wanted nothing more than to have those two guys throwing on the mound for Louisiana. Robe and staff were unable to fix Bazarr ( and apparently minor league coaching was not either)and Deggs/Ryan have not been able to fix Angel. That is not necessarily and indictment on either set of coaches but on the other hand does not require and indictment of Angel when the door was closed on "work while you wait." I see no instance in this case for a fan that proclaims to be a good fan of the program to also be a hit piece on this athlete. Like I posed to you on the other board "what good do you think can come from you labeling and attempting to trash this athlete on the schools message boards? Angel closed the door, not the staff. Between us I just never cared for folks that quit anything in life, sports, career or whatever the case may be. |

Unlike some fans, I'm not ready to throw Coach Deggs out the door right now knowing what he has to overcome to get this program back on the map. We will see where the program is at the end of next season. |

We will see where the program is at the end of next season. My biggest knock on him and the reason I would have rathered a fresh start with States hitting coach. The Staff who tanked the program is still here and will be here until he wants. We are continually doing the same things and shocked we are getting similar results. I don't expect us to go to a regional every year but half a decade while charging SEC prices will start running fans. |

Maybe he was told, due to budget/contract issues that he had to keep the assistants in place! |

And I wouldn't think baseball assistant coaches contracts were multi-year guaranteed.
