Ryan McCoy Signs with Louisiana

[Just1More]

Happy to have him on board... but I'm not saddling my hopes on one additional player to restore our 20 plus wins/season requirement. Overall, I do have loftier expectations for next year, but that is due to the experience carry-over (not so young anymore) and the additional big men coming in. I like an experienced point guard/shooting guard coming in... not worried about the low assists... will have to see him in action with this squad before rendering a verdict <---- about as worthless/meaningful as the rest of yours.

I'm just down due to baseball... I thought it would partially patch this large hole in my heart over football, but it just added to it's size. I've almost lost my criticism and/or joy over anything UL specific, until I know for a fact that our new admin is going to substantially over-reach my anticipated roll-out of a new private funding system. I have little hope otherwise. I didn't say I don't have the love... I just said that my hope is dwindling.

I agree with most of this thread.... No more "Young" excuses in foosball (not a typo..lol) nor hoops.... I do worry however over the cohesiveness aspect... Seems we have several "well traveled" (to copy another poster's term) and I will accept a slow start... The General has chosen this route however and it is his to produce... Once the conference starts, it is time to win.... and I agree win big... I am expecting a Conference Championship... short of that only the NIT will be considered progress in my humble opinion

As to the young football team, I have made my reservations in New Orleans based on the apologists telling me to be patient that things were not so bad and next year is the year.... short of New Orleans we need a new regime...

Baseball has earned it's right to say be patient.... I too am disappointed but I have faith in Coach Robe.... Things will be better.... if not this year soon...

The others have to earn that patience

_ Yeah...those point guard stats didn't make me jump for joy either. _

In both JC stops he shared PG duty's with another guard. He missed some games at Midland, so his stats are not great. When he is better then any guard you have that plays point, other then Daigle, you take him. He shot over 50% from behind the 3-pt line.

I'm taking this signing cautiously. He was well respected out of high school, but neither of his JUCO years were overly impressive numbers wise. He shot the ball well, but 2-3 assists a game isn't what you'd expect from a great distributer of the basketball. I'd expect top notch point guards to have 5-6 assists a game on average at least. I'll take a wait and see attitude until I see him in uniform practicing or playing in games to determine his ability.

One encouraging thing is that the guy played on two national championship teams. That may indicate he instinctively knows the game.

I'm not really much of a stat guy, but his stats did seem a bit anemic. Maybe the fact that his playing time was so limited had a major impact on that. I just like players that understand how to play the game.

Getting a 3rd PG on the roster is a smart move especially with Daigle's health issues always always being a possibility to keep him out. My question is where is this scholarship coming from? Is anybody transfering or losing a scholarship? With the new signees and and everyone who is supposed to return this would make 16 on the roster.

Taking a break from a pick-up basketball game Wednesday night in his hometown of Houston, Ryan McCoy shared what convinced him to become the newest addition for the UL men's basketball team. The Texas native signed a national letter of intent with the Ragin' Cajuns hours earlier. "I had to like the coaches, and they seemed real cool," said McCoy, who has two years of eligibility remaining. "I think I'll fit in real good. I think in two years we might be able to compete for a national championship." Those are big words, but McCoy might be the missing piece to help the Cajuns take the next step after earning a share of last season's Sun Belt Conference West Division championship.

"It was real relieving to finally sign," said McCoy, who picked the Cajuns over Texas-Pan American and Oklahoma Baptist."

Wow, we really scored a coup stealing this guy from those schools. Not impressed.

The standard has to be set.

No post season this year and Coach Lee is gone.
It is hard to believe we cannot make the post season especially with three tournaments = CBI, NIT, NCAA.
