To be fair, the team won 3 games in March. Goal accomplished. We just need to make sure to add the optional 4th game in our mantra, and we will be good.

Are we certain that everyone comes back? Our two best guards left after last season. Also, Jordan Brown has never played more than a season at the schools he had attended. Are we confident he returns? I assume with NIL, he will be in great demand from P5 schools.

Brown is staying. He is THE man for this program and that’s kinda always what he’s wanted.

I believe he may have to sit out a year if he decides to transfer again.

Even before the highly volital portal came along, Marlin has been poor at recruiting the players he already has.

Keeping him for stability sake makes zero sense.

So were Russell and Wilson. No inside info. I’m just not confident on staking our future on a guy who has played at three programs in three years.

What does winning record have to do with anything? Nothing! Haha.

I was factually responding to a post questioning if this roster had a losing record. Not conference record, not OOC record, just record in general. That means the entire season. And accordong to the NCAA, UL did not have a losing record this season. If the poster would’ve specified his question to our conference record, then my response would be “that is correct. We had a losing record.”



Again, it’s not my defense - it’s a fact!

My stance however is that .516 winning percentage is not good enough and we need new direction in basketball.

Just curious as to why you are so hellbent on noting that we didn't have a losing record thanks to the tournament run because we did have a losing record the entire regular season and in conference. Forest through the trees.

No, this is why it should have nothing to do with our decision to move on. We've had lots of turnover in this program over the years with Bob here and we already lost two guys this year and I can see a number of guys who would be interested in leaving regardless of whether Marlin stays or not. This weighed a lot into our decision for football and look what happened. We lost the majority of our staff and support personnel and we lost a number of players even though bringing in Des was supposed to give us program retention.

As well as Greg Williams.
