Let me first say that Coach Laux is a great recruiter! He really makes a player feel special during the recruitment process. He was communicative at that time. He made our son feel very important - like he was THE main player he was trying to recruit and would be his #1 incoming Freshman, even promising him a starting spot as a Freshman. I was present for these conversations so this isn't just a kid hearing what he wanted to hear. My son felt that this was his opportunity to go somewhere he was wanted and would play. Coach even drove 2 hrs to see my son play at high school games. Constant texts to my son that he hoped he would choose Macon! Fast forward to the Fall of this Freshman year, little to no communication to my son about his playing time or why he was not playing, let alone starting. When my son inquired what he needed to do to earn his time, no real answers were provided. In speaking with other parents of teammates, it seems this is the coach's move. Recruit strong, promise the world, then hope they stay. It is like he keeps kids on stand-by in order to have a strong practice squad. He definitely has favorites and plays those players without trying to help the others continue to improve. Needless to say, there is quite a bit of turnover with him.
