6'9 Juco Doudou Gueye Coming to Louisiana

You are leaving out Tirus Smith and Mylik Wilson who should be in the rotation as well. I don't know if anyone knows who the starters would be as of now, lots of options.

Well nice 10 players that can contribute. All about chemistry.

You don't NEED to make an assumption when there is an unknown. Or at least you shouldn't which is the point.

The only time you make an assumption is to complete an analysis with unknowns.

You need to change your name to something that has "confused" in it.

Vic, I must say you are a prime example of why it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

Thanks for the support. I’ll write it down.

Yes lots of depth on paper but that has been said before, let’s see how it plays out. Also remember that at this number at least one of the returning scholarship guys from last year has to go. I think everyone is assuming it’s one of the 2 who aren’t mentioned in this 10 man rotation but anything could happen, somebody could do the same thing as Miller. As of now though it looks like there would be enough depth for maybe both Spenkuch and Lowery to redshirt.

Encouraged indeed. We seemingly improved the wing and front court where we needed it the most. Hopefully we find some rebounders in this group which was our biggest deficiency last year. I don't remember the last time we were a negative net rebounding team. Hopefully Russell bounces back and plays like he did down the stretch of this past season and Julien and Wilson are as good as advertised.

Any word on Marquetti’s redshirt appeal?

[Cajunsmike]

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

The only starters I feel confident in projecting are Jalen Johnson, Kobe Julien, and Cedric Russell. People who went to practice thought Johnson and Julien were the second and third best players on the squad last season. Meanwhile, Russell showed signs of being the player we projected him to be at the end of last year as he became more healthy following offseason foot surgery. After that I have no confidence in projecting anyone into the lineup. Keep in mind we signed 3 JUCO guys. Those are not normally guys you plan on developing and they will all be given an opportunity for significant rotation minutes. The fact that 2 of them played for Brock Morris last season and he is familiar with our system will hopefully ease the transition.

At the post season banquet he gave what were basically thank you and good bye remarks.

Marquetti told my son he was definitely done and not playing next year. So his thank you and “good bye” remarks were spot on....will always wonder but never know how much better he may have been for the balance of time he was unable to play. Wishing him the best!
