Career Day from Garnett Not Enough as Cajuns Falls Tech

[RiverRanchMan]

Tied at halftime and the usual 2nd half collapse. After the game, Eric Mouton actually said they were 2 well coached teams.

He actually may not be wrong. I am not sure if its an NIL, recruiting issue or both, but the talent on this team is bad. When you lose your best players to McNeese & Arkansas State, then replace them with players from schools nobody has heard of, that tells me the basketball program has a serious NIL problem. While a new coach may be warranted, he will need the NIL situation to improve drastically.

What did Marlin mean in his press conference. He stated we'll get 2 guys back and add 2 to the team.

I think he means Evans will be back. And will add Hardy here soon.

People aren't going to give to NIL if they don't believe in the product. Over here, not enough people believe the product on the court so the gravy train is dry. It's the same reason why McNeese is running circles around us in basketball NIL. And yes, they have some people with money giving over there, but I will respond with this: If they didn't have Wade as their coach, would they give? I think we all know the answer to that.

The same is true of attendance. The dome is dead because people are fed up with the mediocrity. One dance appearance every 8 years or so isn't enough to garner support and compete for today's entertainment dollars. The proof is in the pudding.

Well said.
