I think so. He will have a chance to contribute immediately at shooting guard. Daigle and Bureau are gone - both played that spot in the past. Mbamalu is back and started there for 18 games this past season. Brown is also back but can also slide over to small forward in smaller lineups. Even if AMT doesn't start, I'd expect him to play significant minutes.

MT will spin this as they did not really want him. What probably happened is someone else committed and they did not want to wait on Thompson to make his decision.

And the bottom line is MTSU can spin all it wants to. Davis is a lame-duck coach up there, and Marlin is in the process of turning things around in Lafayette.

Here is my interview with Thompson late today. I focused on the factors that helped him come to a final decision to commit to UL.

His new nickname is...AMT. Not to be confused with the Alternative Minimum Tax. Next tax season, if we all get hit by AMT, we will be very happy.

Long should come to UL, play in front of atleast 5K every game, I dont think we those a game at the Cajundome next year. He could get good minutes as a Freshman here, rather then go to a big school and playonly 2 good years maybe, ask Perry Stevenson
