Coach Broadhead built his team from the ground up and started the season with young inexperienced players. This team has been called an, acadiana allstar team, on this board. They beat Tulane today. That shows progress. Oh but wait they're young.

I think he'd have difficulties in today's NCAA, especially at a school like UL (where he may not be able to get top-tier high school athletes), because of his reliance on JUCO/transfer players and the fact that under his watch, the classroom wasn't always a top priority for players. The APR would be a nightmare. Say what you will about Marlin (and even Robert Lee), but their kids took care of business in the classroom. Even those who left had grades in order before leaving.

OK, how bout' Fletcher. I know he doesn't play defense but at least: (a) he recruits people that can shoot, not are suppose to be shooters but can not and, (b) are fun to watch and somewhat successful. Here is my take based on 3 years (1) Marlin is not a good recruiter of players or coaches, (2) he wants to play defense but can not get his players to buy-in - they either can't or don't want too (3) says things I don't understand like; the Sunbelt players are much bigger than those in the Southland - really what did he expect. It shows a lack of perspective (4) continues to recruit undersized players. The only UL players on this team are Payton and Long (5) the only coach on our team that has brought a high quality player is Johnson - maybe he should be the one getting a raise and (6) I am getting tired of his long-winded, slow-talking manner that results in nothing but excuses. (Rant-Off)!

NO, NO, NO!! We don't want "play the gray areas" Jessie Evans back.. We do not want creepy Fletcher and wife back either. I don't have the answer.. But not those guys, please!!

Any chance we can bring Bobby Paschal out of retirement??
