To everyone thinking it’s a foregone conclusion that Brown is gone, I’d say not so fast my friends.

None of us know for certain, but does he raise his draft value if he stays? The older you are, your value seems to decrease to the NBA unless you are a sure top 12 pick.

I like the little bit of video I have seen of Nanucci. Fields looks solid also. Chancellor White looked like he had some good skills when he played early in the season, just looked like a true freshman making Freshman mistakes as well. For those that weren’t watching early in the year he lost his spot in the rotation once Julien started playing in conference play. Also Kyran Ratliff was redshirting this season. Think we was ranked #235 nationally by 247 in class of 22. With the rotation of Brown,Lewis,Charles, and Richards staying relatively healthy all year probably smart to keep the redshirt on.

I of course think Brown is most likely to move on. I have wondered if Kobe will decide to move on early at some point, remember he was a 5th year sophomore this season, but after last night he sure looks like he has more in the tank than he did all year. I also hate to say it but I think Fulks may get some interest from some High major schools with the numbers he put up this year and 2 years of eligibility left. That isn’t a knock on the coaching staff or Themus, just NIL money talks and that is the age we live in. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, just ask Theo Awkuba.

Doesn't UL have a committment from a highly thought of basketball recurit from Zachary HS?

Yes, if he signs. Both of the signees are not pure point guards. The depth at that position is questionable at best.

[Tasso]

We need players that can go in the paint and make shots. Create shots.

What's the name of the Zachary commit? Thanks!

I believe its Brandon Hardy, 6'3 shooting guard...

Correct, here is a video featuring Hardy.

Outside of an early Christmas present in Brown returning, I can’t imagine this team will compete at a high enough level next year to finish in the Top 3 of the conference. If Marlin’s pattern holds, it will be several years before we can expect to compete for a regular season title again.

He looks more accomplished than the other 2 signees.

Marlin’s pattern is about every 4-5 years. 2014-NCAA ,2018-NIT, 2023-NCAA.

The issue also is what big name team or big game(NCAA or NIT game) has he ever won?

Our standard should be higher.

Yes sir, that's him. I'm not sure he still plans on signing.
