Schools where current McNeese guys previously played:
Providence
Seton Hall
Creighton
LSU
Kansas St.
Cincinnati
Oklahoma
Tulsa
New Mexico State
Maybe why they won 28 games this year, 19-3 in their conference.
This, while our staff is busy scouting D-2 and NAIA players. If our coaching staff really wanted to win 28 games and go to the NCAA tourney and hang around with a team that finished 2nd in the SEC tournament...they might show some ambition in who they want to bring in.
What are the odds they don't bring in a single player from a big name program?
-----------------------------------------------
Based on standard Division I financial reports, Ohio University has a larger men's basketball budget than McNeese State.
Man, you really are Greencat - all emotion and no research. Half of the schools you listed apply to same the two players.
Garwey Dual - Providence/Seton Hall
Jerrell Colbert - LSU/K-State/SMU
And guess what? Those two averaged 5ppg and 8ppg.
The kid from Oklahoma - 6ppg
The kid from New Mexico/Memphis - 4ppg
The kid from Baylor - 2.5ppg
The kid from UC - .5ppg game
The only big school transfer having a huge impact is Larry Johnson from Creighton who led McNeese in scoring this season. Followed by the Tulsa kid and 6th year Javon Garcia from UMass. After that? DJ Richards who has been at McNeese for 3 seasons after starting at UTSA.
There’s a reason all those big school guys landed at McNeese and are hardly putting a dent in the Southland Conference. Ike Cornish and Wiz say hi. Not every P5 big brand transfer is going to make a huge impact.
