Heard Marlin got an additional year added to his contract due to unexpected challenges this upcoming year.

I hope this is rumor and not true. He hasn't earned a extension, but then it would have been granted by SF, who also hasn't earned an extension. You should get awarded for wins-loses, championships, and fan attendance.

WKU just got a 5 star commit too. Stansbury was a pretty big name hire for them and the recruiting is improving immediately

Impressive list of schools...but he'll be looking to transfer after his 1st year out, Breaux Bridge gotta Breaux Bridge...Not many places will understand....

Elfrid Peyton?

Sean Long?

ELFRID PAYTON

SHAWN LONG

Can you at least spell them right when you're trying to interject with "knowledge"?

For what it's worth:

Shawn went to Miss St, we got him by "chance" / "hardship". Never had a shot at him out of our backyard...

Elfrid was nothing special coming out of high school. He BLOSSOMED BIG TIME and put the work in. This isn't a "Marlin got him" situation....not even close.


So the question is, what has happened to basketball's recruiting?

The answer is Bob Marlin recruits Southland type talent that he tries to mold into a systematic player (speed, defense, etc.). Our days of long, athletic guards are gone.....

For now

It was between us and msu for Shawn ... he decided on msu then had buyer's remorse almost immediately.

I understand a lot of you don't care for Bob Marlin but let's at least be fair.

[scotto_25]

To be fair, his brother was in his ear trying to push him to a "big time" program. He also came back due to family issues.

I liked what Bob brought to the table, but he's wearing his welcome out. Our recruits are getting smaller and smaller. Our shooting has been atrocious. We have no big man to replace Long....should've been working on that since 2012 at least.

He needs to put up and earn his salary.....not hating
