Ragin' Cajun Blog: Basketball recruiting update (Oct. 20)

_ Tough loss. Probably a product of Murray's success and Billy Kennedy being in Hammond for seven years. _

I pushed once for BK and we got Lee---I pushed twice for BK and we got Marlin-------Hope it is better this time around --but BK would have been GREAT at UL with his NO and State connections!!!

Jackson would have been a nice addition, but it's only a verbal commitment to Murray State. Hasn't signed anything yet. Recruits have changed their minds in the past. This coaching staff has enough connections to find another guard, and I'm confident that they will.

BK had no interest in our job this time around. Don't blame him. He's another 20 win season at Murray from a big payday. Our AD contacted him after Robert

We need a PG, a true playmaker to set up the talented players that will be coming to play ball here.

We have a PG who is a playmaker. We do need a few guards to fill the spots that will be vacated by Bureau and Daigle next season. Jackson would have been nice as he and Andrews come from the same high school and played together already. Billy is a great guy. I don't see him at Murray state for too much longer. He does have strong connections in Hammond and is highly respected there.

Who is the playmaking PG we have? Im talking O. Greene, KJ Lawerence, real Playmaking PG's, get one like that, Conf. Championship will come sooner than later

Raymone Andrews. he's a GOOD defender and a GOOD passer. Not much of a shooter but we have enough of those anyway. Sounds like the type of player you were talking about. Just forgot to look on our own team.

Andrews was told to play defense and distribute the ball last season. It will be interesting to see how he performs this season under Marlin, who has a strong track record of developing guards.

[playincajun]

Your point guard is a playmaker he may not be the one scoring all the points but he does get the ball where it needs for plays to be made. Last year Lee told Andrews not to shoot and all the offense went through Chris and Tyren. Further more it takes a team to win a conference championship not a superstar. We had Sunbelt MVP and lost in the first round to a team We beat twice! One of those wins when your PG scored 17 pts protecting the ball getting fouled and knocking down free throws. Coaching, team play and balanced scoring wins not a superstar. Ask Lebron.

Oh and Cajuntime your PG is a three time all state player who won two state championships on the Cajundome floor and scored over 1200 pts in high school. He may not be dynamic like the ones you mentioned but he knows how to win and what it takes.

My blog with a basketball recruiting update:

http://www.theadvertiser.com/apps/pb...Id=personaDest

Marvin Frazier Jr., a big man from Zwolle, signed with Northwestern State today. Not a huge loss. He was rated behind Kadeem Coleby (who signed with Cajuns) on UL's recruiting board.

As for Shawn Long, the Cajuns rated him behind Smith. Louisiana Tech and the Cajuns are at the top of his list.

The other main recruiting targets for the Cajuns have not been mentioned anywhere yet. Will have more on them in the near future.
