Roux: Themus Fulks

[R1Letterman]

Didn't a lot of you folks talk down on Fulks all season long?

you missed the big announcement

When it comes to recruiting, there are obvious wants and reaches every day.

I doubt all coaches on the staff are 100% unanimous on every player.

I actually love that Fulks has something to point out to show his true worth, but I didn't read any blatant "you are wrong posts" until after Fulks made his perfect response.

The smart posts said "wait and see" and Cajunchuck's Elfrid Payton comment was the perfect analogy

Not at all. It happens. Opinion was based on the previous school. Never said I was a recruiting expert in basketball.

Well Terrance Lewis came from Jackson State amongst other places and not only started for us but was literally one of our most valuable players all season and is a very big reason we are doing what we are doing. In basketball, the size of the school a player comes from doesn't worry me as much about their ability to adapt to a system and other players.

SC State or Jackson State have any guys in the portal???

Brock Morris landed Fulks before he left for Ole Miss. CJR3888 and Cajun lannister have crow to eat here. I bet they don’t mind doing so. Truth is none of us know what type players these guys will turn out to be when they come back on board.

Themus will be a key guy vs Tennessee but I bet he is up to the challenge. Apparently one of Tennessee's top guards is out due to injury and that may be why the Vols faltered somewhat late. Perhaps Themus can take advantage of that situation. I do want to clarify one of my earlier comments. Coach Morris did make the initial contact with Themus but Coach Marlin himself did the bulk of the heavy lifting when it came to his recruitment and getting him to become a Cajun. It is obvious he has a great deal of respect for Coach Marlin. I recall after the first USM game in the Dome, Themus was the post game player guest for the media. He mentioned that he felt the staff and Coach Marlin specifically were given undue criticism after the tough New Year's Eve weekend road trip. He said the team did not appreciate that and used that as motivation to play well against USM. I don't think they need much motivation to play in the NCAA tournament however.
