Marlin era officially underway

[Parrott]

Keep an eye on these names....

Keith Richard and Terry Waldrup.

I've been working on other stories today, so I'm just now getting back to this.

To answer Mike's question, LSU assistant Keith Richard and Texas Wesleyan head coach Terry Waldrop are definite possibilities as ULM grads. Both came up during my calls today.

Richard played at the school from 1978-82 (was on 1982 NCAA Tournament team that had Marlin as GA). Was a GA there. Another 5 years there as assistant. Then 13 years at Louisiana Tech before going to LSU.

Waldrop grew up in Monroe, was a prep coach in north Louisiana before coaching at Navarro JC in Texas and SE Louisiana. Won the 2005-06 NAIA Division I national title. Was contacted by Carr Sports Associates during UL search.

There are a few other names, too. Personally, I think you need a guy with strong ties to the area who has worked at the school - or one facing similar budget issues - in the past and understands the importance of APR issues.

Expect Staub to move quickly.

I think Kenny Natt, current NBA assistant and ULM alum, would be a possibility. He'd have to take a pay cut, I think, but this is his alma mater.

A source just told me that ULM "is closing in on Texas Wesleyan head coach Terry Waldrop."

Whatever the hell that means.

Wow...Interesting. He does have an NAIA national championships. However, I believe any decision to hire Coach Waldrup would be based on saving $$$$$.

One week left in the Spring signing period that ends on the 19th. What's the word on the recruiting trail? It is important to sign two freshman, a guard and someone with size!!

I know they had a visit for a freshman pg.

I don't know if you want to sign someone with size right now who is a HS Sr, simply because most of the ones who are any good are already signed.

And we will have 4 players in front of them in the rotation.
