_ Metry is a glass half empty kind of guy. Fortunately the rest of his family ain't. _

LOL!
My Dad was avoiding me after the USM debacle. Wonder why?
As you can guess I am not a fan of Lee. I still support the program, but I have a feeling he is not up to the task. That said, I would love to be wrong.

A former player told me recently that people who are on Lee about coaching should have been on Evans to because Lee was coaching that team. I had mixed feelings about Lee up to that point but that eased my feelings.

I think we shall see great improvement this year, Lee has the blocks to build something this year and the next few. I think his leash is mighty long.

_ Questions only for those not paying attn. Complete roster has been up on ragincagins.com for a few weeks. Ferguson info. has been out there too.

We are good to go. _

Sorry Z, I wasn't paying attention as I was digging out the sunglasses for the upcoming season. That and working tons of hours at the utility so that I can afford the taxes on the dome foam.

For the most part, lights on within a day, trash picked up within the week.
Although work is a bear with the two storms. Put in 112 hours the week of Gustav. Season tickets for football and basketball are taken care of, but I
would give the cash back in order not to have a storm. I have a sister who lives in Houston but has power and no damage to her home.


Hope all went well for your family.

Sheesh, you guys in upper Lafayette always get top priority. My debris still hasn't been picked up!



Seriously, hope your sister's woes are over pretty quickly. I been getting pics sent to me from that Houston/Galveston area....nothing nice.

All the best to you and your family.

My question to you all is who do you think will or should redshirt?

If Adiefe and Roberson were eligible at the start of the season (and they are not, they will miss 7 or so games this year), I would redshirt Lago, Wallace, and Johnson. But this is not the case.

Adiefe and Roberson play the same positions as Wallace and Johnson respectively. If Wallace and Johnson were redshirted we still would have Barr and Batiste to play the post and Gary to play the forward but that leaves us to thin in the first 7 or so games. So I do not see Wallace or Johnson redshirting this season.

Lago I do see redshirting as McCoy and Daigle will be playing ahead of him. If Lago does not redshirt he, McCoy, and Daigle will all be Sr.'s at the same time with Daigle maybe earning an extra year. If we must go to a 3rd PG during a game for what ever reason Phillip Jones could be the guy.

We cannot totally rule out Adiefe and Roberson redshirting because they are already losing at least 20% of the season, if they redshirt they would get 2 full years to play later.

We must not forget at some point in time Coach Lee will need to redshirt some players either this year or next because we may lose as many as 11 to graduation at one time in 2 years. Some players such as Daigle, Dison, and Gary may earn a year back and I hope they do. Because Daigle, Dison, and Gary have already sat out a seaon they will not redshirt.

Guys that are redshirtable Adiefe, Bureau, Gradnigo, Johnson, Lago, Roberson, and Wallace. Gradnigo will not redshirt for obvious reason.

This is what I would do:
1. Redshirt Lago, Adiefe, and Roberson, if Adiefe and Roberson would agree to this and if they are not at academic risk to be lost at a later date.
2. I would redshirt Wallace and Johnson in their Sr.'s season when Adiefe and Roberson could play a full season and all 4 players would still be here 3 years when Gradnigo, Bureau, Gary, and Daigle would be here.

If Lee plays his cards just right and everyone takes care of their grades, everyone on this roster will still be here in 3 years except Barr, McCoy, and Bloom. Risky but Wow.

We must remember their are 15 guys on the roster and one ball so 10 guys is about as big of a rotation as you can have. With the above senerio it would leave us

PG: McCoy and Daigle
SG: Bureau, Dison, Bloom
SF: Gradnigo and Johnson'
PF: Ryan and Batiste
C: Barr and Wallace

Next season insert
Adiefe for Wallace
Roberson for Johnson
and add Lago

The following season everyone plays except Barr, McCoy, and Bloom.

Don't expect Roberson and Adeife to redshirt. Roberson sat out a year already after transferring from Houston to UNLV. Adeife is one of the team's top inside players and will be needed this season.

Wallace and Lago are the top candidates to redshirt. I think Johnson is on the verge of a breakout season.
