Former Tony Robichaux teammate, assistant joins UL’s staff | UL Ragin’ Cajuns
UL baseball’s coaching staff got one spot larger Thursday with the addition of Jimmy Ricklefsen.
The longtime assistant coach and former McNeese State head coach has been added to coach Matt Deggs’ staff in a new position concentrating on recruiting.
The 1986 McNeese graduate was a teammate of Tony Robichaux at McNeese and later coached under Robichaux beginning in 1987. When Robichaux took the UL job, Ricklefsen was the Cowboys’ head coach before going to Lamar from 1998-2015.
He returned to McNeese from 2016 until this past season as assistant coach, including associate head coach the last two seasons.
The Cajuns are coming off a 27-31 season, searching for new successes in the evolving transfer portal and NIL world of college baseball.
