Cajuns basketball Lineup

Does anyone know who will be in the starting rotation and which new transfers can play right away?

In the interview with Scott Prather last week Coach Marlin implied a starting lineup of Russell, Wilson, Au, Gueye, and Akwuba. As of now the only transfer that has not been granted a waiver is Jacobi Gordon from Cal. If the above is truly the starting 5 I would expect Freshman Isaiah Richards as the backup 4/5 and transfer Devin Butts as the backup 2/3. Depending on Trajan Wesley’s health either he or Freshman Michael Thomas will be the be the backup PG. Chris Spenkuch and walk on Kentrell Garnett could also be called on to provide a few minutes while Julien and Cadwell are still out.

Great analysis. Exactly what I expect as well. The people brought in during last year's recruiting may have helped alleviate the depth problem we had last year and enable us to weather the storm while Julien and Cadwell are out. Concern is what happens if any of the guys slated to be in the eight man rotation get hurt. Having to go to developmental players again is a scenario none of us want to go through.
