I would list Kasen and Jordyn as 1 and 1A.  Both were huge for the program.

Yes I agree. Very huge.... 

To me kasen was the catalyst last year.

kasen and teammates know his role.....nothing to figure out there

jordyn doesn’t know his role yet.

 

True.   As often as not, Kasen was the Cards’ best player last year.  As a freshman.  As you well know, PG is as important as QB in football.  So definitely agree Kasen coming back was as big as it gets.

Had multiple offers. Illinois, New Mexico etc.  The WAC should be very competitive this year. No clear favorite as of now and several teams that could win it. Teams better bring their A game every game. 

Those wondering why Lamar switched conferences need look no further than this recruiting class.  I hear from coaches at Sam and SFA that they are now being able to recruit better players as well.  As far as Lamar goes, there are multiple kids coming in who wouldn’t be if they were still in the Southland.  
 

This should be a really good, competitive league.

Coach AB can recruit.  His track record at UH on the recruiting trail was outstanding.  His track record at UH coaching up kids was outstanding.  I think the world of Coach AB.  I'm glad he is finding talent and getting those kids to Beaumont.  I know this...if those recruits will buy-in, play with great effort, and play defense, they will rack-up wins.  Coach AB will demand effort on the boards, intensity on the boards, and defense.  Play as hard as you can, for as long as you can, rebound, and guard your man.  If you do those things, you will play.  If you do not do those things, then grab some bench.  I don't know if LU will be dancing in year one, but the Cards will compete, rebound, and defend.  By years two and three, Coach AB should have the Cards banging on the door for March Madness.  Go Coach AB!

Peace.

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
