about LSU Retired JerseysThe retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald, Macklin and Augustus comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that says the retire-ment of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplish-ments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection. Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.

LSU 2012 Outlook Seven seasons ago, the LSU volleyball program embarked on a historic journey. Many things have changed through the years; there have been dramatic victories and hard-fought defeats. Streaks have begun and ended; prolific players have emerged into decorated All-Americans and moved on. New talent has developed and taken the reigns of a proud program. With 159 victories, seven consecutive SEC Western Division titles highlighted by the league’s overall championship in 2009 and a run of six straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 2005-10, head coach Fran Flory has guided LSU to a very successful stretch. As in the past, the 2012 season is no different. A new year for a new team, but the expectations still remain at the same high level. Will LSU continue to dominate the SEC West? Will the Tigers return to the NCAA Tournament? Will new streaks begin? Flory, who embarks on her 15th season at the helm of the LSU program, is not worries about the answers to those questions. The squad graduated Lauren Waclawczyck and Michele Williams, who capped their careers as the newest members of the program’s 1,000-dig and 1,000-kill clubs, respectively. “Lauren and Michele did anything and everything for our program during their careers,” Flory said. “Our program was blessed to have them not only as talented volleyball players but quality people. There’s no doubt in my mind that they will go forward and be very successful in whatever they decide to do. They will carry on the legacy of LSU volleyball in the right way.” However, the Tigers bring back a core group of returnees highlighted by six players that each saw action in over 105 sets last season. Five of those players earned All-SEC recognition during the 2011 season fueled by Desiree Elliott, Madie Jones and Meghan Mannari on the All-SEC Second team. Helen Boyle and Malorie Pardo will look to build on stellar All-SEC Freshman Team campaigns. LSU also possesses another top 30 recruiting class from PrepVolleyball.com sparked by AVCA Under Armour High School All-America Watch List selections Khourtni Fears, Cati Leak and Katie Lindelow. Jackie Gerig also will join the Tigers after two NJCAA All-American seasons at Blinn College to pave the way for an incredibly talented and dynamic group to make a run at is unprecedented eighth consecutive SEC Western Division crown. “It will be a new team with different learning experiences and a different path to where we have to go,” Flory said. “Our goal is to continue to develop into one of the nation’s elite programs. We have the potential to accomplish that goal with this core group of experienced players and talented newcomers. It’s hard to predict how successful we’ll be, but that adds a huge amount of excitement to the journey that lies ahead.” Flory has once again loaded up and will test her squad with another series of high-caliber opponents. LSU will play 16 matches versus 2011 NCAA Tournament opponents, including four teams that made the NCAA Round of 16. “We know we’re going to have to play with a high level of execution and intensity every time we take the floor if we want to continue to build on LSU volleyball’s championship tradition,” Flory said. “Our players know how hard they’ll have to work and what it takes to be successful at a championship level. As a coaching staff, we’ll have to manage

each challenge and put every player into a situation where they can be successful on a consistent basis. We have a lot of work to do before taking the floor on August 24, but it will be exciting to see how this group develops.” “We believe that playing against great competition week in and week out is only going to make us better,” Flory continued. “Matching up against the likes of Texas, San Diego, Purdue, Washington and North Carolina will prepare us for the rigors of the SEC. As a whole, the SEC is going to be extremely tough especially with the addition of quality programs like Missouri and Texas A&M.” Below is a look at the 2012 Tigers by position.

miDDLE bLOCkERS Junior Desiree Elliott is the lone upperclassman and headlines a young group of gifted middle blockers. She has already hammered home 630 kills during her first two seasons and her 3.40 per set average in 2011 ranked eighth among the SEC leaders. The 2010 SEC Freshman of the Year also tallied a team-high 102 blocks to anchor LSU’s front row defense. “Desiree is the veteran of our middle blocker group, and we’ll look to her to establish a veteran presence on the front row,” Flory said. “She’s an explosive player and her quickness is a key to our exciting, up-tempo brand of volleyball.” Sophomores Marissa Maas and Madi Mahaffey are looking to build on freshmen seasons where they contributed in limited roles. Maas averaged 1.10 kills and 0.73 blocks over 14 appearances which included six starts, while Mahaffey posted 1.50 kills and 0.80 blocks during her six outings.

“Both Marissa and Madi had very successful spring seasons,” Flory said. “Their knowledge base and understanding of the game continues to grow which enables them to be more effective and efficient. We feel like we have to find a formula that allows us to maximize their strengths that fit directly within our system.” Freshman Khourtni Fears notched multiple 20-5A All-District honors as a standout at Bellaire High School in Texas. She was ranked No. 27 on PrepVolleyball.com’s Senior Aces and named to the 2012 Volleyball Magazine/Rox Girls’ Fab 50. “Khourtni has the opportunity to make an instant impact,” Flory said. “Her speed, agility and and raw athletic ability allow her to make good things happen when she is on the court. If she can pick things up quickly in our system, she has the chance to have a special freshman season.”

OUtSiDE HittERS/RiGHt SiDE Senior Madie Jones and sophomore Helen Boyle give LSU a powerful 1-2 punch on the outside. Jones had a breakout junior campaign and belted a team-best 380 kills at a 3.55 per set average. The Louisiana Volleyball Player of the Year tabulated 14 of her 20 double digit kills performances and elevated her average to a 3.82 kills per set during SEC play. Boyle shouldered a six-rotation load during her 28 starts as an All-SEC Freshman-Team performer. She compiled a balanced 2.06 kills, 2.93 digs and 0.38 blocks per set. “Madie and Helen are two outstanding outsides that bring something unique to our offense,” Flory said. “I think Madie is extremely motivated for her senior year, while Helen has a chance to build on her solid freshman season. Both can terminate using a variety of shots. Being able to end long rallies and win tightly-contested sets is going to be a key component to our success in 2012.” Freshmen Cati Leak and Katie Lindelow also will be in the mix for time on the outside. Leak racked up 2,913 kills and 2,256 digs as the two-time Alabama Gatorade Player of the Year recipient after leading Guntersville High School to a trio of state championships. Lindelow recorded 1,430 kills and 1,321 digs at Mandeville High School en route to the 2010 Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year award. She comes from a strong volleyball pedigree as her sister, Rachel, was a 2009 AVCA All-American Honorable Mention pick at Tulane. “We’re pleased anytime we can add the top volleyball players from Louisiana and Alabama to our program,” Flory said. “Cati and Katie are tremendous athletes who are fierce competitors. They are physical, six-rotation players that will rise to any challenge that are presented and will push for playing time right away.” A combination of Jones, Leak and Mahaffey will take swings on the right side when not at their original positions.

SEttERS For the first time in three seasons, LSU enters preseason camp without having to replace its starting setter from the year before.

Sophomore Malorie Pardo started in 27 matches and handed out 11.71 assists per set, ninth-best in program history for a single season. The 2011 All-SEC Freshman-Team honoree’s 11.71 helpers also were second in the SEC and ranked ninth nationally. She recorded 2.16 digs per set and notched a team-leading 11 double-doubles. Junior Jackie Gerig was showered with a variety of awards during her two seasons at Blinn College in Texas. She came away with 2010 NJCAA All-America Second-Team accolades followed by 2011 NJCAA All-America First-Team status. The Towanda, Ill., native distributed 11.04 assists per set, third-highest in the NJCAA, as her team put together a 38-0 season to secure the 2011 national championship. “We’re excited about what Malorie and Jackie can bring to the table,” Flory said. “Both are outstanding students of the game who know how to control tempo, create offense and maintain momentum. As preseason camp unfolds, we’ll evaluate the benefits that each of them bring to our system.”

DEFEnSivE SPECiALiStS/LibERO LSU returns two-thirds of its defensive unit in seniors Meghan Mannari and Sam Delahoussaye that racked up a SEC-best 16.52 digs per set during SEC matches. Mannari sparked the back row defense with 518 digs at a 4.67 digs per set average to rank second in the SEC. The 518 digs for the 2011 AVCA All-South Region Honorable Mention recipient also was the third-highest total for a single season. She also cranked a team-high 38 aces, charted a team-best 14 perfect passer rating with 10 or more attempts and heads into the season 189 scoops away from reaching the 1,000-digs plateau. “Meghan has clearly brought her game up to its highest level as she enters her senior season fresh off a silver medal with the USA A2 Program,” Flory said. “We’re extremely proud of the steps that she took in 2011 moving into the libero role on our defense in 2011.” Delahoussaye has started her career with 92 consecutive appearances and has been a key contributor to LSU’s ability to play excellent defense and pass well. She corralled 2.16 digs per set and totaled 10 double figure dig performances to rank fourth on the team. Senior Victoria Jacobsen, junior Brittany Steele and freshman Haley Smith will add depth to the backcourt. Jacobsen and Steele have seen limited action during their first two seasons with the Tigers with Jacobsen being used primarily as a serving specialist, while Smith registered 962 digs to secure a program single-season record at Chalmette High School in Louisiana. “Our back row continues to embrace our mantra of the first touch being the most important,” Flory said. “Their ability to work together and pass at a high level consistently will allow our high-octane offense to stay in-system. The unit has great comradery and are very comfortable playing with each other. They’ll continue to provide our team with outstanding energy and will make match-changing plays when we need them.”

LSU Interim President/Chancellor LSU

Dr. Bill DeMastesFaculty Athletics Representative

Jenkins returned to his duties leading the LSU System as Interim President after serving until 2007 as the fifth system chief executive. In June he was also named the Interim Chancellor of the Baton Rouge LSU campus. Prior to becoming System President, Dr. Jenkins, a veterinary scholar, held virtually every major administrative position at LSU, including provost and chancellor, since coming to the university as Dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988. Jenkins’ tenure as System President was marked by unprecedented growth and challenges, including destruction at LSU institutions in New Orleans in the aftermath of hurricanes in the fall of 2005. Although faced with a fiscal crisis and deep budget cuts that disrupted academics and forced the furloughs and firings of thousands of LSU employees, Jenkins pressed for calm and reflexive responses to the calamities. A South Africa native, Dr. Jenkins received his veterinary medicine degree from the University of Pretoria in 1958 and specialist credentials in 1968. Following his graduation, he came to the United States where, in 1970, he received his Ph.D in veterinary medicine from the University of Missouri in Columbia. He returned to South Africa where he practiced veterinary medicine for four years before joining the faculty at the University of Pretoria, advancing through the ranks to become professor and head of the Department of Veterinary Physiology, Pharmacology and Toxicology. In 1978, Dr. Jenkins became a member of the faculty in the Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology at Texas A&M University. He was appointed dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 and was named LSU’s provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs in September 1993. Three years later in 1996, the LSU Board of Supervisors named him LSU’s fifth Chancellor. As chancellor, Dr. Jenkins led the reorganization of the main campus administration to make it more efficient and lead the effort to produce a strategic plan, measures that were major factors in the crafting of LSU’s Flagship Agenda.

As a teacher and administrator, Dr. Jenkins has received numerous teaching and public service awards. In 1997, the Public Relations Association of Louisiana named him Communicator of the Year and the regional chapter of Toastmasters International presented him with its 1999 Communication and Leadership Award. Other honors include the Vision of Excellence Award 2000 by the New Orleans Regional Chamber of Commerce and the New Orleans Chapter of MetroVision. In addition, his alma mater, the University of Pretoria, bestowed an Honorary Doctorate on Dr. Jenkins in September of 2000. The Southern Economic Development Conference also presented him with the Volunteer of the Year Award in 2004. An active participant in national continuing education efforts, Dr. Jenkins has delivered more than 150 lectures and addresses to diverse groups in both the United States and abroad. The co-author of a textbook on veterinary pharmacology, Dr. Jenkins also has taught extensively at both the professional and graduate levels written more than 60 scientific articles and contributed 15 chapters to various collegiate textbooks. Dr. Jenkins has been active in numerous professional and civic organizations as well as select national committees. He served on the National Institute of Health’s Alcohol Abuse and Misuse on College Campuses Committee and on a special Steering Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools that reviewed accreditation criteria for colleges and universities. Dr. Jenkins also is a member of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges’ Committee on Food and Society and is a member of the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Coastal Restoration and Conservation. In addition, he has served on a number of public boards such as the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, The Nature Conservancy of Louisiana, Teach for America South Louisiana, and the Greater Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Jenkins and his wife, Peggy, have four children—Sharon, Gwynn, Anthea, and Warren—and nine grandchildren.

Vice Chancellor/Director of AthleticsLSU

Joe AllevaLSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics

Alleva joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008 after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10 years. Alleva’s role at LSU was further expanded in August of 2009 when vice chancellor was added to his title by the LSU Board of Supervisors. It is the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position. Alleva is currently serving a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, reinforcing his position as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country. Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva unveiled a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru and True” -- to ensure the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary program. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for student-athletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set out goals and values for the entire athletics program. Alleva’s vision will keep LSU among the nation’s leaders in athletic facilities. He launched an aggressive fund-raising campaign to replace several hundred windows on Tiger Stadium that were in disrepair and a new coating to the façade of the structure is bringing the old stadium to new life. A renovated gating system on the west side of the stadium will debut in the fall of 2012 to include a plaza that celebrates LSU’s football national championship and recognition walls that honor Tiger All-Americans. Also in the fall of 2012, LSU begins construction on an expansion of the South End Zone of the stadium -- a project that will add premium seating, general public seating and two state-of-the-art video boards -- continuing an effort to augment one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports. Under Alleva’s direction, LSU’s world-renowned track and field program received a state-of the-art running surface in 2010 when a new track was installed in Bernie Moore Stadium. Extensive renovations to the Tiger soccer facility were completed last fall, and future plans include a new gymnastics practice facility, a tennis complex and renovations to the Maravich Center and Carl Maddox Field House. Alleva directed a major renovation to the University Club golf course that was completed in September 2010 and allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams to compete on one of

the most challenging courses in the country. The renovated course helped prepare Tiger golfers John Peterson and Austin Ernst, respectively, to win 2011 NCAA men’s and women’s individual championships, marking the first time both titles were claimed by players from the same school. The Lady Tiger golfers have finished third at the NCAA Championships two years in a row, marking the highest finishes in LSU history. LSU Athletics completed another highly successful year in 2011-12 as 18 of the Tigers’ 20 varsity sports participated in NCAA post-season competition. The year was highlighted by the football team’s undefeated regular season, an SEC championship and an appearance in the BCS National Championship Game. The Lady Tiger track and field team captured the SEC and NCAA outdoor championships while the LSU softball squad advanced to the Women’s College World Series. The Fighting Tiger baseball team won the 2012 SEC championship, and LSU led the nation in attendance for the 17th straight season. The 2011-12 season marked the first time in school history that LSU won both the SEC title in both football and baseball in the same athletic year. But the 2011-12 year was about more than just athletic success. Living up to Alleva’s mantra of “competition, classroom, community,” LSU student-athletes logged more than 3,700 hours in community service work across 20 sports through LSU’s Geaux Givers program. And 62 proud Tigers received their degrees from the university during LSU commencement ceremonies in May. Outstanding performances of the

2010-11 athletic season included the exploits of the Fighting Tiger football squad that posted an 11-2 mark – including a Cotton Bowl victory – and finished the season ranked No. 8 in the nation. The year also featured Top 5 national finishes both indoors and outdoors by the men’s and women’s track and field teams. In 2008-09, all 20 LSU sports competed in NCAA postseason play for the first time in school history and the Tiger baseball team won the national championship. LSU ranked second among Southeastern Conference teams in the Learfield Director’s Cup All-Sports standings and finished in the Top 20 for the sixth year in a row. With a strong commitment to academics, Alleva ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that provides student-athletes the resources necessary for success in the classroom and personal development. The facility was recently enhanced by the addition of a media training center that gives student-athletes valuable assistance in improving their communications skills. And with a strong emphasis on community service and outreach programs, the implementation under Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers” program fosters a relationship between the local community and LSU student-athletes, who regularly participate in philanthropic events. In addition, Alleva has bolstered the department’s L-Club program to reach out and connect with former student-athletes. Alleva oversees a staff of outstanding coaches and he has made

critical additions to LSU’s coaching staff over the past two years. He hired former LSU guard Johnny Jones in April to breathe new life and enthusiasm into the men’s basketball program and recently added Julia Sell as the new women’s tennis coach. Last year, he lured the dynamic Nikki Caldwell to LSU to coach the Lady Tiger basketball team and then hired Beth Torina to direct the Tiger softball program, both of whom immediately returned their respective programs to NCAA post-season success. Alleva is an innovator with bold ideas that benefit not only LSU but all of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been instrumental in the planning of the Bayou Country Superfest, a two-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event attracts nearly 100,000 visitors to the LSU campus and makes a tremendous economic impact upon the local community. Alleva has served on numerous national committees throughout his career including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees. He became director of athletics at Duke in 1998 and his impressive tenure there propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Alleva, whose hometown is Suffern, N.Y., majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. While at Duke, Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham over 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program. He is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame. Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff, and Jenny.

Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with success on and off the field of competition. Now in his fifth year at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. LSU’s prominence was evident in the final 2011-12 Capital One Cup standings that recognize the nation’s best athletic programs. With a national championship and three Southeastern Conference titles during the year, the Tigers finished fourth in both the men’s and women’s Capital One Cup competition, one of only two schools in the country – and the only one in the SEC -- to rank in the top four in both categories.
