Joe Charles signs with MBB Cajuns

[Cajunsmike]

Well, if he wasn't impressive at the Sunkist (as one poster stated) why would I assume he's more talented than a player currently on our roster?

Lafayette is not currently on our roster. Transferred to a non D1 school in Colorado

I liked Lafayette. His quickness was not quite good enough, but he had skills, and length, and height.

I saw a kid with the skill and potential but he wasn’t overly impressive. Carter Domingue was a man in that tournament and pretty much all year. But to each their own. I never said Charles wouldn’t be good. I think his ceiling is very high. He just needs to polish off his game and grow into his body.

Carter will be a Cajun.

He had no skills. Only thing he had was good shooting form but was so slow getting into his motion that he couldn't even get his shot off. Was also the worst defender on the team by a mile.

I'll take that bet....

I don't know what will happen with Domingue. I do know they have offered him a preferred walk on spot. Apparently the young man is an excellent student and should receive academic scholarships. Will it equal a full ride is something I don't know. If so, that may increase our chances. I have played pick up ball with his Dad at Red Lerille's. His Dad definitely knows the game so I am not surprised he is doing well at STM.

I believe his dad would prefer him going somewhere else. Not to say he can't end up here but I think it will kind of depend on other offers and interest.

Have you spoken with his Dad directly about this situation. I know the staff has had meetings with the family and believe they made a good case as to why Carter can be successful here. Granted if another comparable school offers an athletic scholarship, he likely considers it strongly. If the offer comes from a school with full cost of attendance included, it would be hard to pass that up as that means significant dollars.

Yes. That was also during last season so things can change a lot in that time. I'm not saying that he won't come here but based on our conversation, I think his father was hoping for something maybe a little bigger to come along.
