Burnt ROUX: Miller Time is Up (at UL)

[Cajunsmike]

R.J. Gladney no longer listed on the roster either

This is not a surprise and they are looking to fill his scholarship. Some of us were getting hints that would be the case for a few weeks. Miller and Davis were surprises however. His scholarship may go to either another JUCO player or a transfer who would have to sit out a year.

The #3 position is not a guard position. You are mixing up your words. He will guard SF and PF positions and maybe even the SG from time to time.

Like I was saying, if he is guarding Shooting guards, him and Johnson will have trouble doing that. Guarding Small forwards and true Power Forwards he will be fine. Johnson is a small forward, I don’t see him guarding at PF position ever.

The 3 in the SBC is a guard spot. The most success UL has had in the history of basketball is when the PF position was filled by a 6’6” or 6’7” player and then a true Power Forward at the five spot. You wanna win college games, get 3 guards that can play and throw away the Small Forward Position.

Stove, Marquetti both played the 4 in HS. They were fairly productive. And I didn’t even go back 10 years.

And I’d have to say Lyle had a much better HS career.

When I say PRODUCTIVE, I mean go to the Show baby. That’s producing.

Seems like you have realistic expectations....

Seems like you have realistic expectations....

Softball has been to the show 21 years in a row. Asking basketbball for more than once a decade isn't terribly unreasonable.

Not surprised.
Must mean we got another transfer

Jordan Brown?

So you see Julien guarding the 4 but not Johnson? OK

Again, no this is not accurate. I don't know why the SBC has its own set of rules for lineups but some teams go specifically with a 3 guard lineup. That doesn't mean that the SF position is redefined. UL went with Marquetti at the SF this year. That's because he's prototypical for the position. He did not play SG . He was a SF. I don't even know why this is an argument but I'm really getting worried about your ability to "scout" talent when you have trouble with simple position definitions and how they fit some of our players.

Exactly, I think this is the case!

Reminds of the days when some clown “expert” here was adamant Elfrid Payton should be a left handed power forward.
