6'9 Juco Doudou Gueye Coming to Louisiana

[Cajun Monkee]

It seems like with him, Jalen Johnson and the other inside commit, along side Jerekius our front court should be deeper and much more athletic. Also overall much bigger.

And considering how potentially small we were looking to be 3-4 weeks ago, at least our size will be encouraging.

Hopefully, it all comes together.

Heard a report that UL will be signing another juco from Daytona State.

There was a lot of discussion on DouDou in the Miller thread that may need to be merged here.

There was also lots of discussion pertaining to actual doo doo in that thread as well that doesn’t need to be merged here.

It has been confirmed that he has signed. He is a point forward type player. Ball handling and passing skills pretty good for a guy 6’ 9”.

I watched some videos on this guy that you can find on youtube. And just for the record, I am not comparing him to Jakeenan Gant, but he has a very similar game to JG. Can shoot the 3 when need be, likes to post up, but has a soft jumper from 10-15 in. He is a little more physical than JG at 6'9" 220 lbs. Needs to work on his FT shooting, only a 59% FT shooter, but 38% from 3 point and 50% from the field. Solid rebounder and shot blocker.

I'll take it in a heartbeat if he can replicate those types of numbers.

[CajunRebel]

Looks like we beat out a lot of big time programs to get him.

On paper we have an excellent young team.

He's a lefty too Dave, which is always a challenge to defend...

I didn't see a lot of back to the basket play but I like his athleticism. Smooth stroke on the jumper too.

[CajunStrong]

wow the guy is 27 some Brandon Weeden type stuff

So a starting five looking pretty solid.

Cedrick Russel
PJ Hardy
Durey Caldwell
Kobe Julian
DeuDeu Gueye

Jerikus Davis
Trajan Wesley
Jalen Johnson

Not a bad 8 man rotation
