Russell Babineaux: Acadiana’s head coach said in an interview he could be the best WR Acadiana’s ever had. Will be a top 100 guy in 2025.


Seems like a great kid, but being the best receiver Acadiana ever had is not necessarily high praise. That is not a knock, it is good to be the best athlete at any position your high school ever produced. But Acadiana has run a veer offense since Bill Dotson started coaching there, that was 1975 or 1976 I believe. I am not sure what they ran under Cavalier, the previous coach who went on to be the principal at Acadiana. They haven't produced many notable receivers because receivers in a veer tend to be more like old-school receivers who had to block almost as well as they could catch and mostly got short passes.

Looking forward to that changing with Babineaux, though.

Good history lesson(I actually did enjoy reading it) but it's just hyperbole in coach speak. Everyone is quick to declare the current as the best ever. Hypeman 101
