Hear that they been playing almost every day at the rec since they fixing the floor in the practice facility. Andrews is taking the point guard role and leader role serious in organizing them working out. Marlin should be pleased as could be to have him. Talked to one of the new recruits and they said he is a real "cool guy". He just wants to win and has made us welcome to the team.

The Men's basketball team have wasted no time getting started. Even not being able to get into the practice facility has stopped them. They have been playing every day at Bourgeois.
I talked to one of the new recruits and he said Andrews has taken the lead in getting them together to work out. Seems like he is doing what a point guard and team leader should to get the team ready. I am sure Marlin has to like seeing that in him. The recruit said "Raymone is a real nice and has welcomed them all". It was good to see the old and new coming together. Can't wait for the season to start.

I don't think we need to worry about Raymone. Playin' since you seem to be in the loop. Is there any chance that the Cajuns can get the guard that Raymone played with off his HS team.

It's really not a surprise to hear about Raymone. He was a born leader in high school, both on the basketball court and football field. He did whatever he was asked on a nightly basis to win games, and he did that again last season by playing tough defense and running the offense. I expect big things from him this season, as well as from Josh Brown, who I think will be one of the top newcomers in the Sun Belt this upcoming season.

Josh -

I know the coaches cannot, but are you allowed to sneak around and watch any of the pick up games. Any early thoughts? Also, do you have any idea of 2011 targets?

I know you normally post recruiting news, but I didn't know if you just new of any casual targets right now.

I can watch pick-up games but haven't done so recently due to football. I do know that Josh Brown has absolutely dominant in pick-up games. That's one of the reasons why I expect him to be a breakout player this season. I know of some 2011 targets but want to do more homework before writing more about them.

My daughter went to Coach Marlin's Basketball camp. She is 11 and stated it was the best camp she ever went to. She liked all of the coaches and players. If the Cajuns play the style that was taught at the camp get ready for up and down the court with an emphasis on defense and passing to get the easy basket. I really can't wait to see how they play.

An emphasis on passing and defense; the only way I've ever believed the game should be played. I'm pumped! I've been waiting for this since 98'... It's about time.

Why has the basketball team not been able to use the indoor facility recently. There is no reason they should not have access to these courts.
