Basketball Recruits

_ This is just what I was going for. Great answers but in the end we need Feb 13 to get here to
see where we are heading. Any thought on the rolls our two freshman to be sophomores will play next year? In all we want to knock the former staff those were two good finds. Talking about Andrews and Mitchell. I have heard that Grandigo is expected to be a leader with Bureau and Diagle. I agree with the statuses of Gary and Dysons injuries being a factor. Also Wallace is set to graduate so APR will not be an issue. Baptiste could be molded into a dominate player with guidance and rebounding work.

By the way April 14th is next Wednesday. That is the start of the spring signing period for basketball. For that matter it is also the beginning for the other springs sports including baseball and softball. Jay talked about this yesterday on NBC. Unlike football, most kids don't sign on the first day. We could be talking about signees well into May.

I say we renew NO scholarships going into next year and only sign kids that are within a 50 mile radius of Lafayette....That way we will increase our attendance by at least 3,000 right???


In case some of you didn't know, that was tongue in cheek although I'm sure some on this board would be in favor.

Ok great back to my question anyone want to tackle what rolls they think our current players will have with the new staff. I keep hearing about the great recruiters the new coaches are and the kids they currently recruiting. Any thoughts on who's really going to be back and how they fit in with Marlin.

I think Marlin is going to love Raymone Andrews.

I think coach Marlin would like the potential of most of our players. He seems to like the upside to Batiste being a difference maker in the middle and Javan Mitchell's youth and potential to become an impact player on the offensive end in the post. I'm sure he'll appreciate what Andrews does and he'll need shooters such as Gradnigo, Bureau and Daigle to provide the offensive consistency. We need guys who can stretch the court and do things in transition and I think that's especially where we'll miss Tyren who excelled in the open court. Dison would be nice to have for transition defense and lockdown defense for opposing players but nobody knows what to expect with him. We need some frontcourt players, namely a physical presence who can rebound and disrupt things in the midde. I've been especially disappointed in our lack of physicality over the past several seasons.

Colby Batiste can block shots, he just can't stay out of foul trouble.
