Yes we have one good one coming in from the portal but, why not find about 3-4 more? If we don’t we are just being lazy.

Louisiana Men's Basketball announced the signing of Duncan Powell on Friday. Powell, a 6-8 forward from Dallas, Texas, led Sacramento State in scoring and rebounding last season and was a top 100 recruit in the class of 2021 according to ESPN.

Powell averaged 12.1 points and 7.0 rebounds last season for the Hornets to lead the team. He recorded five of the team's six double-doubles, including a triple-double against Bethesda with 13 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists. Three times he scored 20 points in a game and finished in double figures 21 times.

The DeSoto High School product committed to North Carolina A&T, where he became the highest-ranked signee in school history. As a redshirt freshman, Powell averaged 8.0 points and 5.7 rebounds under now-Louisiana assistant coach Phillip Shumpert. Over the last five games of the 2022-23 season, Powell averaged 16.0 points and 9.6 rebounds.

Old news

Old news

His commitment is old news. University officially announcing he is joining the program is what is new here. To answer an earlier question, the program is actively going after players in the portal. JUCO guys are also being looked at.

Who cares anymore.

Who cares anymore.

Not I

Saw that the JUCO PG we had offered awhile back has committed to UT Arlington.

In 22-23, we played a lot of inside out basketball with Jordan Brown. Tried to do it this year but not nearly as effective. Some of that was because of the loss of Greg Williams Jr. and Jalen Dalcourt.

Thanks for that synopsis. lol
