Mad for Midnight Madness!!

Could not make it, honestly it was to late w/ the kids and all but I love to read what you had to say. I knew the team would be young my only question was how athletic they would look and how the would shoot the long ball. Coach Lee will get this team ready for the defensive side of the game, I'm just so ready for North Alabama.

Forrest won't redshirt as he sat out last year in order to get academically eligible. Redshirting won't get him another year. Lago won't redshirt either as we need to have a point who played last year. Also, Barksdale hit two threes in the scrimmage. By the way, you can dress out 15.

Here are a few thoughts that are in my mind after midnight madness:

-- It is real early but the team looked like they were having a good time and the team chemistry was there.

-- The scrimage was a backyard game. The players were having fun, being unselfish but they were very sloppy. I hope this team does have the ability to turn on a serious face when gametime comes around.

-- It finally looks like we have a leader at point guard. What impressed me the most about Daigle is that he was shagging balls during the 3 point contest. I really liked that. It shows a little about his character.

-- Bloom is a great shooter with excilent form. It will be raining 3s in the Cajundome.

-- Bureau does not look like much. Tall and skinny. But he was the surprise of the night. This kid can play. I hope that he does not redshirt. I can see Dwayne Mitchell type of excitement coming from this kid. Yes, those are BIG shoes to fill.

-- I think we are lacking a true big man in the middle. That could be a huge weekness. Wallace must stay out of foul trouble.

-- This could be one of the most athletic teams that we have had in the last 10 years. But I think the key to winning games this year will be just what Coach Lee pointed out during introductions. Playing 40 minutes of press high tempo basketball.

I am ready for some college basketball! ..O..

The future is very bright, we have 10 Soph.'s and 3 Freshmen on the team. Five Soph.'s will have a chance to earn an extra year of eligibiliy. La'Ryan Gary will be the best athlete we have had in a long time excluding Dwayne Mitchell. We got a verbal commitment from a guy named James Barr who was a 4 star basketball player coming out of high school 2 years ago and signed with Tim Floyd at USC. He played as a Frosh. then was let go, he now plays at a JUCO. This guy is 6'9" and weighs 260 lbs. If he signs he will be with the next 2 years when all these guys are Jr.'s and Sr.'s.

You mean Jeremy Barr right? Played at USC transfered to Nebraska but then got cut, casualty of some scholarship/personal issues. Enrolled at San Jacinto and now has a chance to salvage his career with the Cajuns. Should be a great fit if he can make it.

Thanks for the pictures and the notes from the other night.

I really like their new practice uni's. I noticed that they are Nike and they've never worn Nike before. Does that mean we're getting new game uni's too? anyone know?
