Cajuns Sign a Point Guard

That is correct, The CONF Season is separate from the non Conf Season. We have 3-4 Juco games then a couple tough road games, then its CONF Season. You guys seem to be a little slow today.

This is a sattire account...right?

The “lame ducks” will ALWAYS be lame.

Maybe it is better to get back to the original point of the thread. We were lucky to get Calvin Temple due to all the events that had to occur for him to get here. Maybe he will be a key piece of us having success this year. His credentials are strong but I do want to get more details in that regard. Has anyone seen any video of him and if so, what are their impressions?

I watched one video of him in a high school all-star game so not a lot that you can take from that type of setting. It looked like he wasn’t afraid to attack the basket and had some decent moves while driving the lane. Also hit a few threes but they weren’t really contested.

One thing I noticed about Trajan Wesley last year was that he can obviously shoot, but for a guy his size getting shots up around defenders with D-1 level height and wingspan is tough. That is an issue Temple could run into as well. Even though Temple now gives us two true PGs on the roster I still think there will be a lot of times that both he and Wesley are not in the game and ball handling duties are taken by a combo of Russell, Hardy, and Wilson depending on who is in the backcourt at the time.

Wesley missed some of the summer workouts due to some type of injury. Not sure what it was. They expect him to be ready to go when regular practice starts. Still another point guard helps when health is a concern for one of them.

The pre season mags are out...its not good...which speaks to the newness of players and the unknowns.

Definitely a positive as I didn’t know Wesley was dealing with a health issue. I also think that adding to the overall depth at the guard position could lead to the ability for Lowery to possibly redshirt.

Actually, I think that is a positive. Allows us to sneak up on people.

And lets not forget about Mylik Wilson

He’s a lightweight. Don’t know how that will or won’t matter. It’s a concern I have for him. Might be a reason he wasn’t highly recruited by quality P5 schools.

Wilson will be one of the better defensive players in the league as a freshman. Offensively he will do fine in transition. In the half court offense, he may need to get stronger.
