Nikita Johnson leaves Marlin's staff

[DaddyCajun]

Pancake and JJ are Kevin Johnsons recruits. RaYmone was such a problem he wad his starter for two years. Oh and regardless who recruiter is HEAD coach has final say on who gets scholorships. It's called fall guys. You can't treat people with disrespect and expect to be respected. Things done in the dark will come to the light and you.will see the real story. Our program is in trouble. If you all think the players we had so far are sub-par you are about to be in awe of new players.

So are you saying we are getting some really great players? I sure hope so and hope we are beating out some truely big teams!

Big Oil? We all know they want the oceans to rise. Cajun Field will soon be part of the Gulf of Mexico.

I've never seen a Marlin afraid of a little salty water.

I thought he was an over-rated piece of work when he was here -

I never bought into the smoke & mirrors him and Rupp were trying to sell about LA & North LA not having quality bb products...

Marlin was smart to show him the door - his recruits always seemed to be of questionable character and academic standing (atleast at TECH)...

Oh and you all better look at APR because Men's Basketball is in trouble there too after Robert Lee left the program the best in the conference.

If players leave with a 2.6 GPA or above for the semester prior to their transfer, there are no APR implications. It behooves players planning on leaving to attain this as well in order for them to be wanted by potential schools they may want to transfer to. I don't know how the guys leaving did academically this semester. If they did not do well, it reflects poorly on them.

As far as character and academics go, Josh Brown and Scottie Farrington are two players Nikita Johnson brought in. Both are fine young men and decent students. In fact, Josh just graduated.

That doesn't apply to these young men. Whether they worked out or not, they were fine young men.

Oh...and screw Tech.

Had nice chat with Josh post graduation. He really wants to stay in area. Hope he can find employment here. Someone gets a good man. Obviously, with a great work ethic. Understand all our b-ballers made it with grades. Looking fwd to fall and it starting all over again. Just need to add scoring and FTs to defense, ball handling and rebounding. Just.

Should two more leave, we are almosting certainly to take an APR hit. APR was moved back up to 930 by the NCAA, with the current number of athletes exiting the program it looks like we could end up around 940. Sound several more leave the program on top of that, we would fall below the 930 threshold.

And ____ on USL....

[SlappyCajun]

If a kid leaves with good grades and transfers to another NCAA 4 year school (does not have to be D1), then he does not hurt your APR.
