Burnt Roux: Hayward Register..

[ManAboutTown]

Sometimes I wonder about the timing of these decisions. Obviously, I nor anybody here are speaking with Register nor do we know why he is making this decision personally but I would imagine that he would be excited about the upcoming year and the amount of time he would likely get with several key contributors graduating. It's like why make this decision now?

I think this decision was made a long time ago.

Nice comment.
Where can he play next year? If Div1 he has to sit for a year, right?

It's a reality. Elfrid was a diamond in the rough. Stove is pretty good as a combo guard and Wright should be a 2 because he commits way to many turnovers.

But in general, outside of Elfrid we have been extremely weak at the guard position.

Register will have to sit out.

"Air" Register lost his touch this year. Was beyond terrible and seemed like basketball was not a priority of his

Hellen Keller could see CBM had Air on a short leash due to his defensive skills needing improvement this past season. I'm sure some of that pressure worked against him. He'll blossom if he can find a program where the object is run and gun, and defense is an afterthought. God's speed Mr. Register.

I don't understand the negative comments about our kids. Marlin gets paid to pick the right kids for his system.

So do the balance of our coaches. In this generation of helicopter parents and kids all of a sudden are held accountable in some way, shape or form, all our coaches lose players.

Its disappointing because it seemed like he had bought into the idea of contributing on defense. He is a heck of an athlete and could have been a heck of a defender with the right attitude. Not sure why his shooting % fell off a cliff this year but was hoping for big things from him next year. Good luck to you cash.

If Stove continues to develop his outside shot, he could be better then good. He showed glimpse of what his game could be against Texas A&M CC and UC Irvine. He has a very quick first step when driving and if his shot because more consistent beyond the arc, he could be very good imo. If not, he will continue to be a 6'3 small forward.

Stove matured the second half of the season and should be a leader next year. Needs to work on his dunk timing, clanked a few this year. Has heart, something you can't coach.

Shooting guard will not be with the program for his senior season

---T- I think this also, he showed in the conference tourney this ability, but he was hesitant to shoot ---If he shoots the 3 like he did at the end he could be very special!!! Take me back to HS days of Stove, Wash, and Plaisance and their accolades---Seem to remember the tops in the state???

I think all Cajun fans wish Hayward well as he moves on from here. This may be best for him as being away from home may allow him to progress and he may not feel as much pressure in another setting. As far as the cajun roster for next year goes, there are 12 scholarship players at this time and they can add one more, possibly two if someone else leaves. That roster includes 5 returnees, 1 transfer, 2 redshirts who will play as freshman, 2 fall signees, and 2 spring commitments. I expect the next scholarship to go to a JUCO inside guy and I understand that is the current recruiting focus. Note, that means six of our 12 scholarship players will be freshman. That does not mean I will buy into being young as an excuse for a poor season. Our starting lineup will consists of one senior and three juniors (transfer Bartley is likely to be a starter). 5th spot will be manned by either the yet to be named JUCO inside player, redshirt freshman Davis, or the freshman from Kentucky named Miller. As Davis is a redshirt and Miller is at a prep school, they are like sophomores. Experience in the starting lineup will not be a problem. The freshman will mostly be in support roles off the bench.
