Don't see any threads about the new hire. My son plays for MHS so I'm interested in feedback. He was on campus by Tuesday.

He Left STA in Hammond for the job. Everyone I talked to seemed to like him. Sucks that he left STA so quick, but Mandeville is definitely a bigger school.

I like to see former VooDoo making moves, but they're slipping down that district...

Meanwhile Guy Lecompte just got handed the keys to a Mustang. HC with their tradition and alumni is a sleeping giant

Did some nice things at St Thomas but honestly he doesn’t have enough of a body of work to go on. He still kind of a unknown.

He has been successful in whatever role he has had so far. He laid the groundwork for the offense at Lakeshore this past season. He had a good stretch at Fontainebleau. His time at St. Thomas was short-lived, but he had success there. In short, in spite of the Skippers losing 3 of their 4 best players,he will make Mandeville more competitive than they should be. I keep waiting for SLU to make the hire and put him on staff. I think that will happen in due time.

Implemented his offense at STA in only 1 year with pretty good success. Met him at a football fundraiser, likeable guy.

Played some ball with hutch. He is a good dude. Seemed to be passionate about football. He is energetic and a people person. No clue on his coaching, as i have not followed his career since our ball playing days, but i would be good with my son playing for him as a person.

Lecompte will be tough to follow, he way over achieved with the talent he usually had. I am assuming that he will have access to more talent at HC, if so I wouldn't be surprised to see him win a state championship.

Not very impressed so far. He has Northlake Christian transfer Devon Tott starting at QB. They lost to U High (no disgrace) and could have beaten Live Oak at home. Should have beaten Hammond last night. That QB is 0-5 as a starter, which includes the failed 2-point gamble in OT against Fontainebleau.

Against Ponchy and Northshore he started Dereje Gaspard and they won both games with more of a run-first attack. This team should not be 2-5.

My biggest issue is that he’s asking Tott to do things that are not his strengths. Gonzales wants an “air raid” offense without an “air raid” QB, and that spells second-half trouble for an undersized defense.

I guess he gets the benefit of the doubt this year given what he had to work with on the team. One senior quit the team mid-season, and two others have had on-field temper tantrums that got them benched.

How is Jr. WR Will Shepard doing? That kid has D1 potential IMO.

I agree. Has a great WR body with reach. Used mostly on deep jump balls and he’s usually up against small corners so he can win with his height.

My son played basketball with Will in 10th and 11th grades (not playing this year...focusing on his GPA which is paying off). He is a really good athlete. Him and my son are about he same height and my son can barely dunk but Will can tomahawk with ease. Apparently he comes from pretty good athletic genes...I believe his dad was a college DB and his mom was a college volleyball player...both at La Tech.

He could be dominant with a QB able to get him the ball consistently.
