Robert Lee BASKETBALL CAMP starts TODAY

[RustyR]

Another one that cannot handle the truth and has to bring LSU into the discussion. What's the matter? I struck a nerve with you too? So just because I ask legitimate questions you get all defensive and start crying like a baby and bring LSU up. Get over yourself and your envy and hatred of LSU. It will get you nowhere in life slick! I'm talking about the "cajuns" here and nobody else. Your snide backhanded remarks are only funny to the people that believe them. I don't and if you don't like what I post DON'T READ IT. Apparently you are the one that cares more about what's going on in "BR" then in lafayette.

Fine then why do you get so defensive when someone talks about LSU's problems. You see when you come on this board and call people genius and stuff of that nature in a smart ___ way I think your going to pis_ everyone off. And if you dont like what loyal UL fans like Z reply to you then dont post on a UL board.

This is my first post as I am new to the site. I just wanted to comment on the current state of the basketball program. I for one at the begining of the year was not very optmistic about the future of this program. After a very disaponting year last year and this years team looking young and not very good I thought we were heading down a long and downward sprial. I thought the "sky was falling" after watching this team play against quatica early in the season. However I have had a complete change of heart after witnessing what this team has done over the past few weeks. The heart and tennacity they play with night in and night out is like I've never seen from a Cajun team. We've got some very good young talent that keeps getting better every game. Guys who I thought were not very good at the start of the season are coming around. One in particular is Tyren Johnson who with a little more confidence and experince looks like he will be a hell of a player. There will be a few bumps in the road but the future looks very very bright. After hearing the Coach Lee show tonight and the passion and vision he has for this program I have no doubt the future is very bright. I have been watching Cajun basketball since I was a kid in the Fletcher days and I have never been this eager to watch a team. Coach Lee has a plan for this program, which I don't beleive his predecesor did. Recruting freshman is the way to build a program for long term success. With this class and next years signings we are in for a bright future which hopefully will include a deep tournament run in the near future. Bringing freshman in, along with a couple of good JC transfers every so often to fill in gaps is the way to long term success. There is no doubt the Cajuns will finish at least in the middle of the pack in the belt and make some noise come tournament time in the dome. This city needs to rally around and support this team. If this is as bad as it gets and is a "down" year, I can't wait for the good years to start.

Great post and welcome! I like the heart I've seen with this team. Against the Vols many teams would have packed it in but they fought back to get within two. This team will only get better and better.

Well said, I have to agree with you. I have never felt better about a team than I do about this one and I have been around some great ones.

Great first post. I couldn't agree with you any more about the above statements. Welcome to Ragin Pagin.

[AstroCajun]

The heart and tennacity they play with night in and night out is like I've never seen from a Cajun team.

That is the most pleasant surprise that we got from this team.

They just don't quit.

Our problem as fans was that we didn't know what we had. We are starting to learn. Like you, I like what I see.

Welcome, and good message. I am with you completely. I look forward to watching this team development. They deserve the full support of everyone who loves Cajun basketball.

Welcome aboard. You were not the only soul who thought this was going to be a long season. But a downward spiral, no!

Coach Lee, as you said, has a plan. Plus he is recruiting players with some character. The last time I saw UL BB teams play this hard was during the Bobby Paschal days.

We, aslso, have another good BB team. If you have the opportunity, check out the Lady Ragin Cajuns. If you do, my advice is to get there early so that you can find a parking spot near the gym, and find a good seat in the gym. It has been refurbished, but it is a PIT!! When the fans get into the game it gets real loud and boisterous. Check it out!!

Tyren Johnson has got a sweet touch on his shot. I wish he would get more playing time. You know who else I like, is Stephen Dees. Everybody is hyped about his older brother, deservingly so, but Stephen is quick as a cat. He doesn't do much on offense, but he harrasses those guards as soon as they cross midcourt.

I too was not expecting much, but somebody forgot to tell these guys this was a rebuilding year.

Any one who listened to Coach Lee's show last night will appreciate how excited he is about our future. I myself am encouraged. My only reservation is will the guys currently working to become eligible get it done in the classroom. Regarding this year's team, some success in the upcoming road games is needed to keep up the morale of the team and fans. Hopefully, Gray and Milsap will be able to play on Saturday. In his show, Coach said Gray will play if grades are posted. If not, he will play next Wed. at UNO. He also said he heard something on Monday which makes him believe the NCAA clearinghouse will issue a ruling on Milsap by the end of the week.
