They still have not put together back-to-back wins this season, and for the life of them the Ragin' Cajuns can't pinpoint precisely what the biggest impediment to doing that has been.
Ditto, with just four games to go in their 2012-13 regular season, as to just what it will take to change that.
It's more than just winning two in a row. They need to win three of these last four games to keep from losing 20 games this season. Injuries and inexperience aside, this team is now at full strength (Kevin Brown notwithstanding). No excuses, they better get the job done.
This has been today's edition of "tough talk from Terrell"
I am not sold on Marlin. The guy has not proven he can recruit well enough to win in the Sun Belt. We need much more talent on the floor. Long and Peyton are the only two that are talented enough to win right now, the others need too much development.
Uh-oh, another Stooge. Slappy, I guess that makes you Shemp. :eek:Quote:

Next year team will depend on if Long is still on the team, if he is then this team will be significantly better. Marlin has already shown that he can develop talent. Just look at the vast improvements in Bryant and Elfrid. Brown coming back will be a big help. If Soto and Wronkoski develop like the other BM & EP the team should easily win 20 games.
You are crazy, if you think we will win 20 games next year. We do not have the depth to do so. Also 20 wins should be a down year for Cajun basketball.Quote:

He has not proven himself to be a good recruiter at all, or manager of personalities hence the mass exodus of players since he has arrived.Quote:

Well I should say not necessarily grades but going to class. His baby's mom is somewhat of a head case and he heads home a lot. I have know Shawn a long time and I hope he is here for a long time.Quote:
