You can only read about it if you pay. Damn the luck. Now if I was only not so cheap as to want to spend money to read the rest of the article, I would know the whole story. Guess I'll just miss out. Hey he does have the perfect first name: Vieux.

The Cajuns have signed a high school big man and you can read lots of details about it in the premium folder of the Cajun Red Zone. I expect you will hear about it in the conventional press in a few days. The signing has encouraged a few folks. As far as having to pay to learn more about this, CajunT does not make a profit on his site. He puts any extra cash he earns from it back into our athletic program.
As far as the first name and our French connection-----Well the language is almost a non part of the culture compared to what it was just 20 years ago----maybe more now speak Spanish than French---and that is a shame as we are encouraging the Spanish and would punish our forefathers for speaking French----I think that through the years we have wasted such a formable part of our recruiting in not going after the Francophone athlete!!!
I think our recruit will be awesome. I am just worried that about the basketball championships next spring. I sure hope he does not think they secured a whole district for him to have fun in, the Vieux Carr'e AKA French Quarter. Would be a shame if he showed up at Pat O'Briens for his team meeting. LOL
Send my basketball renewals, and some of you guys please drop yours, I want a better spot.
Marlin still has me worried, and I still prefer pressing defense and fast break basketball, but at least we have the numbers and promise of good things this season.
Hopefully with more inside depth, we will play at a faster pace next season. Very few teams in basketball anywhere press consistently anymore as teams have learned how to attack it. VCU made a living at pressing the last few years. Trey Burke of Michigan carved them up easily in the NCAA tournament when they tried that. Tournament was hard to watch this year with so many teams not being able to score 50 points. College basketball in general is not played at the high level of years past. You need your big guy to guard the basket when you press consistently and we were always in danger of Long getting in foul trouble to do that consistently. We will have more guys inside to take fouls next year so I expect we will press more often.
