Cal's Jacobi Gordon Commits to Louisiana MBB

[Cajunsmike]

So now the blame is on Brock instead of Marlin?? That's not the way it should be. Marlin is approving all these moves. Dou hasn't worked out and that was Brock's guy too. Not sure how all of this will work out.

One more time, head coach is ultimately responsible for all results, good and bad. If my post indicated I did not realize that, I assure you I do. Dou did struggle much of the year but improved quite a bit in the final portion of the season. I predict that improvement to continue. Agree none of us know how all these moves will work out. On paper, we have improved talent significantly. Of course the injury and eligibility issues make it understandable that some are skeptical.

This kid could be special for us if he can be healthy. Out of High School he had offers from:

University of California
University of Arkansas
Baylor University
Depaul University
Georgia Tech
University of Houston
Iowa State
LSU
Miami
NC State
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Oregon
Penn State
SMU
TCU
Texas A&M

247 Sports had him as the #37 ranked Small Forward in the country, the #148 nationally ranked player and the #8 player in the state of Texas.

That's an "eye-popping" list of schools...

I really can’t believe you are gonna push this narrative that our success or failures will fall on an assistant coach...not the head coach who is you know...actually coaching and signs off on every player. So I guess if we are good next year he should replace the head coach?

Dude every post cannot be a distortion covering every detail and responsibility.

Some things are a given.

CM was simply pointing out a unique aspect of this particULar recruitment.

Has anyone ever said the football teams success or failures is on Tim Leger? It was an odd statement. They are all TEAMS, they win and lose together and it all should fall on the head coach both good and bad. Every team has a coach that is either the recruiting coordinator or lead recruiter. Nothing unique about it.

Every recruitment is unique.

Odd statement I agree because there is always a "What did you see in him?" question at the end. Good or bad.

He didn’t say this recruit...said an assistant took the lead on recruitING this period..which isn’t unique at all...and if we never had anyone taking the lead in recruiting before now that could explain our lack of success. To then say any success or lack there of will point back to this assistant is an odd statement. Could you imagine if somebody said Hud going 5-7 was on Reed Stringer?

I said odd statement because although his statement was very true, its TMI and NEI at the same time.

I just took cajunmike to point out that a change in recruiting leaders had been made going into this season. Coach Marlin is ultimately responsible, but, of course this new coach influence's impact will be felt on the court.

All the coaches are involved in recruiting. One guy took more of a lead role than in the past this period. The virus situation may have impacted that approach. I don't expect that to continue as significantly going forward. I did not expect my original statement to create this much discussion. No problem there as we do have little to talk about these days. Hopefully that changes soon.

We can all agree this is Marlin's last ditch effort to keep his job. A ton riding on him to get all these kids on the same page.

Probably not. I expect him to finish out his contract with the corona stuff. In fact, all coaches will probably have that luxury now.

3 years left on his deal?
