Chris Gradnigo Granted Transfer Release by UL

[SlappyCajun]

Chris hasn't been all they way "in" since he has been here.

I think this is great for all the guys working hard that it us obvious now that your hard work will be rewarded. Also maybe Chris should be a 4, since he has no interest in guarding on the perimeter

His untapped potential will be missed wherever he transfers, too.

Keep in mind that the 4 in Marlin's offense doesn't play in the post and is given a chance to shine. See what Clavell did at Sam Houston last season.

In my opinion, Marlin was the exact type of coach that Gradnigo needed. Tough, disciplined, etc. Would have had the chance to be a star next season.

Not having "it" between the ears is a terrible thing.

what a shame.

It's unfortunate in that Chris has some intelligence as he had done OK in school. His judgment and will are what appear to be lacking. If he goes to McNeese I wonder what kind of reaction he will get when he comes to the CajunDome in 2011-2012.

Give Gradnigo credit, when he was hot, he could nail the outside shot. That I will miss.
The pouty, frowning face, will NOT be missed.

I think without his frontal LeBato-me, he would not have come to the conclusion "it was time to move on". I sincerely believe he is leaving this program at absolutely the wrong time. He may have been beyond the "Marlin rehabilitation system for student-athletes that are self-absorbed"... but I think he should have given it a run.

When opportunities in life, as brief and fleeting as they will be, to be coached by a coach with discipline (and ability) come along, your Godfather should be the first to steer you "toward" that opportunity.

Most are looking at UL's supposed loss of a talent. I am looking at this young man's loss of a great life experience.

But, for every door that closes another one opens. This may give Marlin a cleaner opportunity to work with young men who still want to actually play a complete game of basketball.

I agree 100% with you JP. He (CG) had the opportunity here to REALLY improve his stock for the next level. I don't know what he is thinking (or being told) but it sure looks like a huge blunder on his part. I wish him well and know Coach Marlin is still looking for players to add to the roster (3 schollys available).
