Basketball transfer portal

[Cajunsmike]

I wonder if there will be more people in the seats or legitimate D1 players on the roster next year.

Seems like it’s gonna be neck and neck

Staff will have to bring in transfers of their own to have a decent roster. South Alabama does it every year.

South Alabama is not the model from which our program should be designed.

When we become a glorified farm system for P5 programs it becomes not worth spending hard earned money on any longer. JMO

This is what I’ve been saying since this foolishness started. It’s not worth it because we will always be playing as a AA team for the big boys.

James Madison had 3 guys enter portal yesterday, including their best player in Edwards. The Cajuns are not alone in having to deal with this changing world.

Its not new (changing) for Louisiana.

Marlin has had to deal with discontent and premature departures since the beginning of his tenure at Louisiana. (fear the beard)

Lol

A few months ago, I would have agreed with that view. In the new world, ALL mid majors may have to adopt the South Alabama model to some degree. I understand that is turning many people away from college sports. In our case, I believe players are looking for NIL dollars we don’t have.

Kobe has been here for 5 years. He's fought back from injuries to play for the Cajuns. I'm happy for him and wish him luck. Would anyone want to return to this program and play for Marlin right now?

Evidently not

Charles, Julien and Fulks…. Who is next?

Yeah Mike, we've had 3 starters enter the portal with much of our bench not ready to contribute. Sounds like a winner.

Great. That doesn't bode well for our program
