Cajuns MBB Get Commitment From Isaiah Richards

[CajunEXPRESS]

Notice I said may. Not making any predictions. You never know how hard they will work or fit into team chemistry until they get here.

It’s okay to be overconfident as a fan Mike. All projections are opinions based hopefully on a real historical context.

He will never get injured at Louisiana.

Not with IR for initials.

And he needs to drop the s at the end of his name.

Understand that. However I am humbled after being somewhat wrong about Jalen Johnson. While he did some good things for us he did not turn out to be the player I predicted. Some of that was knowing how well he shot the ball in practice during his redshirt year. Making a high percentage of shots covers a lot of other sins. Not sure why that shot making ability did not translate to real play. Therefore I need to be careful in predicting how much of a contribution players will make before arriving here. There is some good news in men’s basketball today. Jalen Johnson is graduating today along with Mason Aucoin and PJ Hardy. Congratulations to all three.

You did predict correctly the impact of Gant, etc when they sat out. Those three were fun to watch.

Are we getting more with this cat than we might have with the Clemson transfer?

Clemson guy had significant ACC experience. Had he been deemed eligible right away, there probably was more confidence he could contribute quickly. The four years of eligibility for Richards Is a positive. As far as making predictions on players I did hit on Gant. I also hit on Bartley. Where I missed in that group was Marquetti. Missed the way you want to however. He became a much better player than I imagined he would be. Going forward I predict nice contributions from Cadwell who sat out with injury and JUCO transfer named Brayon. Still I realize that nothing is a guarantee and they could be busts.

Let’s wish high and leave the busts to the player.
