Sorry can't fire Marlin

Mike had stated above he passed on the opportunity to go to UT. My question is more about what transpired to go from 0 offers to the hype he was getting here before he ever played a JUCO game. The article states he was buried in a recruiting hotbed (Houston), but he had to be seen somewhere to garner the new attention.

He had several D1 players on his HS team and got overlooked. Also he was considering going to the business school which probably had some schools think he wAs not worth pursuing. He graduated from junior college in one year which is why he has three years of university eligibility. He probably will graduate from here in May of 2021.

Since Cadwell is a smart and defensive oriented player, I am confident he will make a positive contribution next year.

Durrey is not DURABLE, he stays hurt. He has been hurt his whole career. Go back and do a little research and you will find out he very rarely played a whole season at any level.

Thank you. Someone has done their research. Cadwell and Kobe will be liabilities going forward with the injury concerns. Can also include Cedric Russell in that list.

Those are legitimate concerns. Beyond the guys mentioned, Wesley has also had foot issues in the past. Right now, his foot is fine due to all the time he missed. No guarantee things will stay that way. We can only hope that all the knee surgeries have corrected the major problems with those guys. Often times with today's medical techniques, the player actually comes back stronger than before he was hurt I recognize that is a hope and not a certainty. Just like it is not a certainty that they won't recover well. Concern-yes, definite problem-no

The point Mike is you’re placing a lottery hope in people who have never been injury resistant.

So does Marlin get pass when those guys are all hurt again next year...?

No, I am placing faith in medical advances. Note I did say it was a concern. However it is not something that we can sit here today and say with 100% conviction will occur again next season. If you guys are so certain players injured will once again be hurt, I am sure there are some wagering places that will take your bet. Find one and you may make a few dollars.
