Basketball Transfers

I suspect Dalcourt will be asked to fill the role Butts played of providing quick scoring off the bench. I agree Julien will move to the 3 spot vs the 4. My predicted starting lineup is Russell, Williams, Julien, Brown, and Awkuba. This assumes Brown is eligible and Dou Gueye does not come back. I don't know what the status of Gueye potentially coming back is. I tend to think he won't return considering his age but I did not think Russell would return either so what do I know. By the way I saw a tweet from Kobe Julien to the effect it is will be good to have the band back together again. That occurred right when the Dalcourt news broke. Some take that to mean that Julien, Williams, and Dalcourt played AAU ball together at one point. I don't know if that is true but it would make sense.

That would be an impressive starting lineup. If Kobe Julien can stay healthy hopefully he reaches his potential as the young man has skills. With Brown and Awkuba in the lineup we would have some imposing size. You are right Cajunsmike, Dalcourt could provide scoring off the bench and needed depth at guard.

Hated to lose Wilson but if you look at it as a trade situation giving up Wilson, Butts, and Spenkuch for Williams, Brown, and Dalcourt we would clearly be the winners on paper at least.

Any updates on Ty Harper? He has still never officially entered the portal even though many were speculating he would. Russell returning may be even more of an influence for him to move on playing time wise.

Paradigm shift of view.

Thanks

Also interesting that Brock Morris tweeted that we weren't done yet.

Harper has been gone even though the Cajuns would still welcome him back.

We also have Kobe Julien, another legacy player. Hopefully his injury woes are behind him. At the basketball awards ceremony back in late April, he told someone that his knee has never felt better. Easy to forget about him as he has played in only 12 games in his three years here. Not legacy players, but both Greg Williams and Jalen Dalcourt are transferring here as they wanted to come home.

Corey graduated two years ago from Houston.

Expect a true point guard next.

They played together at Lafayette HS did they not?

Not trying to be ugly, but Marlin has a tendency to make 5 star players play like 1 star wanna be's. Let's hope these players are too good for even Marlin to mess them up.

When was the last time we had a 5 star recruit? To me Marlin has had more of an issue recruiting talented players than developing players. Many of Marlin's recruits were not heavily recruited. He developed a lightly recruited player into a NBA lottery pick.
