His name started popping up last year; and definitely again around the time we played OSU in Lafayette this Oct. He played baseball and football for the Cajuns, played pro ball, and from what I've heard, he is a heck of a recruiter. I would suspect he is one of the top 3 guys being looked at right now. Can't confirm it; but I think he interviewed already, and is set for another VERY soon. We've got 3 guys we're looking at that most would be OK with: DeForest, Hudspeth, and Orgeron. Orgeron is the most "interesting"; but probably the least likely. Word is we may know something at the end of this week; but also hearing we are conducting more interviews than originally planned due to interest in the job.

Just saw a note on espn1420 (Lafayette) from BOP. Indicated that interviews are wrapping up. AD and Associate AD were in Atlanta last week. Confident that Hudspeth and Sewak (Ga Tech) had been interviewed; along with a couple others (not known exactly who), and that the duo had also headed west towards Houston for a couple interviews yesterday, presumably Viator from McNeese (apparently he has some big $$ supporters in our town), and another. Deforest was interviewed via phone for sure; but not known yet if in person.

As you guys know, this is both a fun and frustrating process. Hopefully we make a good hire.

good luck to you guys Shof. I hear that Orgeron is a tenacious recruiter and perhaps one of the best in the country at that.

His name is not being mentioned much WRT the final group. Deforest recruits Texas really well for OSU; but that doesn't mean he could get those kids to go to Lafayette. But it sounds like he really wants the gig. We should know something by the end of the week, hopefully.

Just don't drag it out like ASU did. ;)

There is always one in the crowd! :rolleyes:

Thankfully we aren't looking inside the current staff for the new HC. You guys might have had the right one there; but the Cajuns don't.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
