MBB: Louisiana Signs Experienced Guard in Wright

[CajunVic]

Too bad Marlin will be his coach.

only marlin can bring in such talent

Never know how transfers will pan out, but Marlin putting in work! just landed former Louisville/JUCO SG Koron Davis 6'7 combo Guard.

That's a surprising take. I think he was a headcase at Louisville. He got kicked off the team.

"You can't quit, you're fired."

And the coach that kicked him off the team got fired. Kenny Payne is very difficult and frustrating to play for from the stories I’ve been told by some Louisville fans. Maybe him being a terrible head coach led to whatever altercation they had. Not taking any sides just providing information that was handed to me once I learned of the coaching staff pursuing the kid.

Gio and Vinny

2 kids that shouldn't be on the team. Marlin wastes 2-3 scholarships a year on non D1 guys and complains he has no depth.

Not his problem when the kid won't play because he told him to take off a shooting sleeve and put different shoes on.

Hopefully Davis learned his lesson and comes in with an attitude of realizing this is his last shot at this game. Payne did get fired after the season.

Gio Nannucci and Vinny Sigona are not returning. They both are going to JC's with the intent of proving they can play at the D1 level. We have filled our 13 scholarships now. I don't think depth will be a problem next season. We should be better able to compete once injury bug hits and it will at some point. However with 6 new comers and 7 returnees, chemistry may be a problem. Not all 13 can play. How people react when their playing time is reduced once conference play starts may determine how successful the season is. This situation is not unusual in today's world. Most of our competitors will face similar issues.

You have to play 9-10 deep to keep them happy enough to want to be a productive contributor. Based on the 7 returnees, all have had considerable playing time and will likely make up 7 of the deep 9-10. The FR will need to contribute quickly to see PT, but his height/length will give him that opportunity. Among the new comers, the PG from OR state will play a lot, but so will MT. The PF from Sac State, with his stats, will be in that number too. The BG (big guard originally from Louisville will be in that number too. The other new comers will need to show out quickly and often. JMO.

That's an assumption to say the least
