Of the Cajuns 12 signees, ten are from the state of Louisiana, while UL signed one each from Georgia and Florida. 

Heading up the Ragin’ Cajuns signing class is Thad Griffen.  Griffen is a Lake Charles product out of Barbe HS.  He is a dual threat as a pitcher and a catcher.  Offensively, Griffen hit .327, with six homeruns, 11 doubles and 25 runs batted in.  He collected 32 hits with an on-base percentage of .431 and a slugging percentage of .622 as a catcher. 

On the mound, he went 8-1 with a 1.91 ERA in 59 innings of work.  Griffen surrendered 48 hits while striking out 70 and only walking 27.  He was first team All-District and All-Southwest Louisiana selection helping the Buccaneers to a state championship.  To go along with a 90-mph fastball, Griffen is also an excellent defensive catcher who is projected to be a powerful bat in the Cajuns lineup. 

The Cajuns scored a trio of signees from Lafayette – Brian Bowman, Michael Cook and Dayton Marze. 

Bowman is an outfielder from Lafayette High School.  He hit .377 for the Lions as a junior with three homeruns.  Bowman is fleet footed with 6.5 speed and is projected to bat in the top of the lineup.

A Teurlings product, Marze is a right-handed pitcher who earned an 8-1 record as a junior.  He tossed 65 innings, recording 73 strikeouts.  For the year, he boasted a 2.45 ERA, earning him 2^nd Team All-District and 2^nd Team All-Acadiana honors. 

The Cajuns signed a pair of right-handed pitchers from LSU-Eunice, Matthew Broussard and Luke Wagley.

Goulas signed with the Cajuns from Catholic High School in New Iberia.  He hit .360 as a junior with six homeruns, 24 RBI, while stealing 10 bases.  A quality defensive outfielder, Goulas can play all three outfield positions.
