Louisiana Basketball 2011-12 Preview
In each of the last two seasons Errol Rogers has led the Ragin’ Cajuns women’s
basketball program on a steady course of improvement. In 2009-10 the team
improved from three wins to nine and then in 2010-11 recorded the most wins
during his tenure with 11.
Rogers has to like his chances for a third consecutive season of increasing
the amount of victories as he guides the Cajuns into 2011-12. He returns nine
letterwinners and for the first time in his five seasons at the helm his entire
coaching staff remained intact.
The experience on the court combined with the continuity of the coaching staff
might be the recipe that brings about the first winning campaign of the Rogers
era.
The cornerstone for the Ragin’ Cajuns is senior Mercedes Johnson. Last
season’s leading scorer, at 14.4 points per game, Johnson is one of the premier
post players in the Sun Belt Conference. A second team All-Sun Belt selection a
year ago, Johnson tallied double-digits in 22 of 28 games played.
Johnson enters her senior season as one of 14 players in school history to reach
1,000 career points. Her 1,196 points are well off the school standard of 2,157 by Kim
Perrot (1986-90), but she’s only 551 points shy of second place (Lisa Merritt, 1,747).
Johnson’s tag team partner in the post is fellow senior Kemi Rotibi. A junior
college transfer, Rotibi burst onto the scene last season and provided UL with a
strong defensive presence in the paint, ranking second in the Sun Belt in blocks
per game.
Louisiana will need to have players step up to replace the scoring efforts of
Jasmine Barnes (9.8 ppg), Lyndra Bell (8.5 ppg) and Danyell Oliver (6.7 ppg). Barnes
and Bell, together, combined to account for 227 field goal makes in 2010-11.
Nicole Morris and Bianca Davis are the returners in the backcourt, both sharing
time at point guard. Morris led the squad with 56 assists last season.
The incoming recruiting class is highlighted by Lafayette-based St. Thomas More
High School teammates Brooklyn Arceneaux and Robbie Brown. Arceneaux, the
Class 5A MVP, and Brown helped STM claimed the Class 5A title last spring.

Errol Rogers was named the 11th head women’s basketball coach in
school history on May 2, 2007.
The University of Louisiana graduate spent the previous four seasons as an
assistant coach at Mississippi State with his primary responsibilities including
on-court teaching and assisting with recruiting. The Bulldogs enjoyed a 12win turnaround last season and advanced to the WNIT quarterfinals – their
second WNIT trip in the last three seasons.
Rogers’ eight wins in his rookie season tied him for the most by a first-year
women’s head coach at UL since 1988.
He helped seniors Onna Charles and Sonora Edwards both top 1,000 career
points in their final campaign.
Rogers also tutored the rise of Alicia McDaniel (2005-08). McDaniel finished
her career as only the second player (Kim Perrot, 1987-90) in UL women’s
basketball history to post at least 750 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists and
150 steals in a career.
In 2009-10, he guided the Cajuns to a six-win improvement, then in 201011 reached the highest win total in his tenure at UL with 11. The 11 wins
marked the most for the Cajuns since the program made a run to the NCAA
Tournament in 2006-07.
Under his watch, Mercedes Johnson earned All-Sun Belt Conference honors
and became just the 14th player in school history to reach 1,000 points
(currently sits fifth with 1,196).
