Jay Hedgeman issued summons for posession

[CrazyCajun]

Would this conversation be any different if he was not suspended before?

No, Marlin would still have retention problem.

That would be an incorrect statement. You can read between the lines here.

Ok thanks.

The article said; "According to an arrest report, UL police responded to a physical altercation Saturday at UL's Conference Center on Rex Street and found Hedgeman in possession of .8 grams of marijuana"

I took this to mean last Saturday.

That particular one DID refer to last Saturday. The suspension was related to a similar incident.

Does he though? I'm asking. In the three years I've been at UL, I haven't seen a retention problem

Dig a lil deeper

So you don't even have a frame of reference from his entire tenure? Yes, Bob Marlin has a player retention problem and a recruiting problem. All aspects of recruiting fall on the head coach...it is his job to know if the kids he is recruiting have problems in the classroom,problems pn the court, problems off the court, problems in the locker room etc. that's why you build relationships with high school coaches you can trust. There will always be the ones that you could never see coming....he has been really bad at it here. Don't be surprised if Davis eventually leaves...there is a reason he didn't want to be here. Also, if you keep bringing in kids that are high risk to have issues we will eventually find ourselves with APR issues. Marlin has been "drafting" about as well as the saints have.

Do you have numbers on player transfers?

Its really too many to remember by name, id have to look it up but maybe you could do the research to educate yourself on Bob Marlins entire tenure here....I bet it will shock you. It isn't just transfers, dismissals and non-qualify.

I bet most forget the big juco center we lost before the season started. Stalcup I believe was his name.

Did that guy even make it on campus? My recollection was his offer was rescinded around the same time Shawn decided to return for his senior year. Or maybe he decided not to come because he'd be getting very little PT.

Pretty sure he made it here and never qualified. When you have attrition problems...the ability to become eligible should be a heavy factor in offering scholarships.
