Louisiana's Wilson Named Sun Belt Freshman of the Year

[Turbine]

Before I post, I like Justin, still wish him the best.

Justin wanted to be "the man". So he could not achieve this at UL, left this pond and moved to a smaller pond in hopes of being a "big fish".

Given our injuries this year and Justin's durability issues, God had Justin where he needed to be.

Mercy Me.

Oops a typo, that's Mercy De.

There is no question he could have helped this team, this year.

Marlin lost me this year with his constant purges and reboots.

Otherwise I was a consistent supporter.

As has been stated on this board a few times the “purge” last year was mainly due to off court situations. While in a way the coaching staff is ultimately responsible for the players they can’t make every decision for them.

As far as Miller being able to help this year you have to remember that Dou Gueye would not be here if Miller stayed. Miller’s numbers by minute from last year are slightly better than Dou’s, but overall that is pretty close to a wash. Now in that same light if you want to compare Jeriekus Davis to Calvin Temple that’s a different story.

How do we know Davis was dismissed by coaching staff?

From what I understand Miller and Davis were in the same boat, and the decision may have been influenced from above the coaching staff.

Out of respect for the players the staff decided to let them leave quietly on their own terms.

Which I respect and agree with, that is the reason I have tried to be rather ambiguous with what I posted. It was all spelled out pretty clearly in another thread here earlier. But just as Turbine posted here and and I have seen others refer to a belief that the roster turnover last year was a move by the coaching staff related to on court performance which wasn’t entirely the case.

Head coaches get the glory, and the loses. Players get the wins and immediate glory.

If the Big Fish gets the career glory and credit, he’s also responsible for who comes here. He’s ultimately responsible for Davis, and Miller good and bad.

I don’t necessarily believe that. If they thought they were talented, they would’ve overlooked the off the court stuff. (PJ hardy)

I don’t know what the team rules were for the three. Unless you have illegal knowledge neither do you or anybody else. So it’s a little pompous to act like all sins are equal.

No I'm just saying he was suspended and he's still here. Tirus Smith is suspended and he's still here sitting on the bench too.

Man, we sure could use Tyrus right now. Maybe Marlin should reconsider that suspension for a few weeks.
