WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT COACH CYPRIEN
"Coach Cyprien was a wonderful addition to our staff. He handled his duties with the utmost professionalism, and had a huge impact on our team advancing to the Final Four this past season. His tireless work ethic and lengthy experience in coaching have prepared him to take over his own program. We wish him the best."
Current Oklahoma State head coach Eddie Sutton
"If you look up the definition of life in the dictionary, Cyp’s picture would be there. He is an excellent recruiter and has great enthusiasm for teaching young people how to reach their potential on and off the court. He is one of the best young coaches in the business."
Current University of North Florida and former Jacksonville and Western Kentucky head coach Matt Kilcullen
"Glynn, amongst his peers, has been considered one of the very best assistant coaches in America for the last several years. He, along with others, obviously did a great job at Oklahoma State. I think the hiring of Glynn in his home state will be a huge asset for Louisiana-Lafayette."
Current University of Kansas head coach Bill Self

Sounds like we got a great catch. Hopefully he'll take this team farther than what Evans did during his time. Only time will tell.
