As much as we piss and moan about coach's moving up and on to better things, here is your alternative....
Re: Simoneaux's new coaching job
I guess that means we can forget getting good players out of West Monroe

W/out double checking, we had one player from WM during his years at Tech. That player was a walk on who didn't play as much as he should have played. One other player from WM was already committed to Tech when Sim took the job.

Also feeling lazy about looking--where have the good WM players gone? I recall Soignier and maybe others (LaBorde?) went to ULM, presumably Shake was a big influence. What about others?

Some WM players went to LaMon via juco. There were a few more. One former all state player from WM was actually attending school at Tech. The young man decided to give baseball a try after sitting out two years. Sim never gave him a look. He transferred to LaMon to get his shot to play.

Not that great for the money they've thrown at it.

I'm glad for him and his family, especially that he'll be in the area for his son's senior year at Tech. It's doubtful he'll be able to make many games, but they're nice people, so I wish them well.

TNS did a story today saying that WM had not made a decision, but they will announce the selection on Thursday. I do find it hard to believe that a decision was made last week (well circulated rumor), but they waited a full week to announce.

No decision was made until Monday.

That matches up with what my best WM source told me.
One of the candidates was saying that the decision had been made last week. Again, even if Monday was decision day, it seems strange that they would wait until Thursday to announce.
