Basketball recruits

[CajunT]

I'm in agreement on Maggard.

Look, I like our coaches. But we can survive any of them going elsewhere if the right hire is made.

Agree! I don't understand why people want coaches to stay until retirement. I've been friends with a number of coaches and if they get a chance to earn more money for their families and coach at a higher level, I would be happy for them. Very few coaches will stay like Coach Robichaux has for an entire career. Furthermore, it's good for our program's brand. JMO

It is good to be having this discussion. Better than having to worry about where will money come from to pay a buyout. Means we had a great season. As far as Coach Marlin is concerned, he may stay here for a few more years. That is not because he would not welcome an opportunity in a higher profile league. He may stay simply because other programs are now looking for someone younger than he. See LSU and Will Wade for example.

Coaches know that window of opportunity stays open only so long Mike, especially after great seasons. Coach Marlin knows he isn't getting any younger and if the right opportunity avails itself, he will at least give it some consideration.

Back to the topic of the thread for a second. When is signing day for hoops? Has Dion's kid said when he planned on making a decision?

They recently offered Jaylin Banks PF, so he should make his decision soon. Clearly Banks is the backup plan for Brown.

Recieved an offer from University of Louisiana-Lafayette! 🙏🏽🌶 #RaginCajuns #UL22 pic.twitter.com/dowofmBhm3

I cant find any information on this kid whatsoever, other than that he's been offered by us, La Tech, LSU-A, and LSU-S...via his twitter page.

If Brown would commit early, which I think is long shot, I think it would bring a few other big time recruits looking our way.

He's 6'8,210 Baker HS. Averaging 12.9 pt. and 9 rbs. per game.
