Eric Mouton's son

Winning boost ticket sales. I see no reason to not let him walk-on, but I highly doubt the local kid who currently sits the bench moves the needle on attendance.

Keep in mind that his size now won’t be his size later. From what I understand we would be offering the opportunity even if his Dad was not a former player. He is earning the walk in offer on his own. Still I agree this has little impact on attendance. Winning big for several years is what is needed here to drive that.

He will probably grow another 2-3" over the summer. He can shoot. Some of those shots were NBA distance. But he will definitely have to beef up some more. I hope he does come to UL and play for the Cajuns. I love it when former great players kids come to play for their parents alma mater.

Chris Gannon's son is supposed to walk on this year for football. Chris was a stud. If his son is half as good as Chris was, then his son will be a solid player. Hoping Eli will be a stud for UL basketball, like his father was.

Huh? What in the world would make you think this??

I want whatever makes that happen automatically.

BTW that will leave him 5-9 to 5-10.

Has someone suggested he shouldn't get a shot?

Yes

Yes

Well he is.....

Right... and obviously people have concerns about his height...specifically you...

I have no concerns. If he is good enough to make the team, he will help us. If not, he won't and I will lose zero sleep. I'm 5-7. I'd love to see him make it...doesn't mean I have to be unrealistic about the issues.

I only asked a question, has anyone seen him against legit D1 talent be able to get off his shot. I didn't say he couldn't. I didn't say nobody that height ever could. I asked if HE could. This may have occurred at AAU games, or in camps that someone on here has seen. That would tell me a lot more than selected shots from games against mostly guys who will watch college basketball.

Isiah Thomas is 5'9" and getting absolutely exposed this year. He had 1 good year in the nba where he was told don't worry about defense and shoot as much as you want on offense. Guys like him are the outlier. It is like the argument football for every undersized running back in high school or college..."he could be the next darren sproles". *eye roll
