Hope that is just coach speak and they are considering red shirting McCoy.

[Cajunsmike]

Plan now is to redshirt Elijah McCoy. He could help us in a year or two. Can't coach someone to be 6'9"

[CajunEXPRESS]

Has skills, athletic ability, and a good citizen Mike?

Marlin should be on the hottest of hot seats. 500k a year and only 1 NCAA appearance in 7 years. To me if he doesn't make it this year he needs to be gone

So to the basketball prognosticators-do we have the potential to be really good this year? The team kind of jumps out at you on paper.

[ManAboutTown]

Sweet 16 team.

Well, looking through my rose colored glasses this is the next sports team up. We have talent and fingers crossed that Marlin has his best coaching performance coming up. On paper, this should be his best team. No excuses this year.

Yes. This is going to be a really special year.

[Ragin4U]

Sweet 16 team.

No pressure.

How good this team is will depend on how they come together as a team. There is only one ball and only 5 can play at a time.
Seems like the talent is there to be really good.
