Jacob Vega

            No. 11 Jacob Vega drives to the hole and lays in the ball in traffic. This is a pretty normal occurrence in a 13-year old Biddy Basketball game. But what makes this not normal is that Jacob Vega is scoring and assisting with only one arm.

International Recruiting

With a starting lineup of six foreign students, the LSU men’s tennis team has put a greater emphasis on international recruiting in recent years. This lineup includes James Cluskey and Mark Bowtell of Ireland, Michael Venus of New Zealand, Julien Gauthier of Canada, Neal Skupski of England, and Sebastian Carlsson of Sweden. “We certainly would be interested in any Louisiana players that are ranked very high in the nation,” said Jeff Brown, LSU men’s tennis head coach. “We produce some, but not nearly enough to field a strong, nationally competitive team.”
