Marlin looks back at Cajuns' season, forward to next

[Ragin' Caleb]

The quote was confusing BC Luke mentioned that all of this was said during his interview but I think that the quote about his players was in the past about the inconsistent 3 point shooting.

With Walker, Long, and Hedge gone, it seems Marlin is committed to a small lineup with Washington and Plaissance being the two "big" guys. Next year will be very telling of Marlin

You mean the .500 record through 6 years hasn't?

Mel has swayed me a bit in my thinking on the Marlin situation, but the results speak for themselves. Yes, I'd prefer a team that's being built and managed correctly, from school to the court, but again, we need better results. I don't hate the guy, I just want to see our program get out of purgatory.

I believe the inside player from Kentucky who just committed is more likely to play significant minutes than Plaisance. He has a body already built for the college game. I also think we sign one more inside guy.

I'm assuming you mean 6'7" forward Justin Miller. I was running down the roster and "new" players who may see the court next hear for the first time.

Already on roster:
RS-FR Jerekius Davis, 6'6" forward
RS-FR Kadavion Evans, 5'11" guard
RS-JR Frank Bartley IV, 6'3" guard

True Freshmen (commits)
Herman Williams, 6'2" guard
Roydell Brown, 6'5" forward
Justin Miller, 6'7" forward

I agree that Miller will likely be a contributor. If the current players on the roster and committed are who we will be playing with next year, Marlin will have to change his offensive game to put more emphasis on inside play, as only Wright is a decent outside shooter.

He will lose a lot in pre conference. Finish 2nd to 4th in regular season. Win a game in tournament and get to quarter finals CBI.

FarmerBROWN will give him an extension because you don't want this hot commodity hanging around without a full four year payday.

“It’s frustrating, because you’re only as good as your players.”

...?

That statement would be very Baldwinesk if those "players" hadn't led the conference in 3pt the year before.

Baldwin blamed the Jims and Joes as well, but his comments were not based on diminished production.

We led the league in 3 pt percentage last year...where did that get us? So what else was it last year that wasn't bob's fault?

Well... the women just won the championship game of the WBI..... while attempting only 6 three point shots, and making only 2. Against an opponent that was mostly successful in stopping Kiki and Kia from driving the lane.. Bob would have just packed it in, since what he likes to do wasn't working. Garry found a way to win. It wasn't pretty, but it was a W.
