Marlin era officially underway
The rest of the story
Last week, Travis Bureau soaked up the Florida sun in Panama City Beach during spring break along with UL basketball teammates La'Ryan Gary, Raymone Andrews and Phillip Jones. That fun is now a distant memory. The Ragin' Cajuns went back to work on ...
I noticed Coach Marlin's comment that some guys in the workout struggled at the beginning with fundamental footwork and passing. Hard to believe that guys at the college level have an issue with those simple things. I don't mean that comment to be critical of Coach Lee as you would think things like that would have been a focus since playground competition.
Fundamentals are the last thing you learn on the playground. But i understand what you're saying.. At any level of organized basketball, fundamentals should be a primary focus.

When I said playground basketball, I meant things like biddy basketball. I am not a basketball expert by any means but I used to coach some at the playground we lived in when my kids were younger. Even a novice like I tried to teach moving your feet on defense and how to pass the ball.
The footwork phrase makes a lot of sense as we saw guys out of position defensively the last couple of years and unable to make up for that causing fouls and we've also seen lots of travels and turnovers on the offensive side of the ball.
I agree but also note that the kids he was working with. LaRyan has not played in over a year and we are not sure of if he will play. Travis and Chris are our big guards and it was my understanding they were working on some 3-4 type moves vs what they have done over the last few years..... Just shoot the "3" baby.
Later in the day I understand that Andrews and Diagle went and worked out with Coach Rich. Each were a little rusty in the begining but from what I heard by the end they were working really well and can't wait to go back today. \
Any word on possible additions to the squad. Signing day is tomorrow and someone posted Coach Marlin was out recruiting last week. Parrot anything on the kids from Florida? They still coming?
No expected signings on Wednesday for men's basketball. McDougald was released Monday. Reese still coming as of Monday. Still time. Signing period goes until May 19.
