Bob Marlin, staff counting heavily on newcomers to improve Cajuns defensively and in SBC Race

It’ll be interesting to see how the changes play out. It can either be a huge blessing in disguise or it can be a disappointment. We will see soon enough.

With that being said, I’m very skeptical of “how good” a transfer or a recruit is in any sport because I’d rather not set myself up for disappointment. Show me on the field (or court in this matter), and I’ll judge you based on that. Hopefully, these guys can step up and get the job done. Watching us win games against glorified high schools before getting bounced out early in the conference tournament is starting to get kind of old.

Marlin has had some really good transfers though.

Shawn long and frank Bartley are two that come to mind.

Actually All the changes may be good for the program. A young assistant coach with different ideas and basically a new set of hungry players could bode better days are ahead. Perhaps some level of complacency had set in, it was recognized, and changes were made accordingly. For the record, we have only 12 players on scholarship at this time and one is available. I would not be surprised to see it go to a JUCO player which graduates from junior college sometime this summer. You can’t sign with a four year school from JUCO unless you graduate from the two year institution. Exception is if you were Eligible out of high school. Another transfer from a four year school is also a possibility.

The whole thing is stale, my friend. We need sweeping changes across the board. From head coach, to how we approach the basketball program, to how we schedule. We need to overhaul the basketball program, top to bottom.

Can we go out and get some Easter Bunnies?

I have zero confidence that Marlin will ever get this basketball program at a high enough level to matter. I did like him initially and thought he could do it. Nope, I was wrong.

Do you know how hard it is to play in the nicest gym in the conference???

I would generally agree. How many wait and see years do we have to have before we start seeing that change is on the horizon.

Y’all need to understand that the UL administration is fairly satisfied with the Big Fish. No NCAA issues, high GPA and good graduation rates. Conference titles are highly overrated. We’ve got a stable and aging fan base. We can go on like this far into the future.

Face it, the big Fish will probably decide when his days are over, much like Robe.

Basketball will soon have to pull it's share of the load with finances it should easily be the #2 sport for generating revenue yet it's 3rd maybe 4th.

Much like Hud the record or lack of success will not get Marlin fired the ROI will

We already understand this. We just don't agree with it.
