I have been hearing Cyprien as well.
[/quote]  Would be a good choice...I am assuming he got the problems that kept him from being hired at UL-Lafayette are straightened out.  Wild card possibility might be Terry Johnson, assistant at Butler, who was point guard and baseball player at Lamar during mid '90's.

Monarchs teams at Panola were about as fast paced as it gets...He was there when Gil Goodrich was there. They scored over a 100ppg.

He also has the support of his head coach at Marquette Buzz Williams who has big texas ties and has done well at marquette!

[/quote]Wonder how many head coaches can make that claim?  Gil must have set a record for the number of schools attended

Me to on Goodrich. His dissmissal was not a Tubbs call, but a Roc call. Roc couldn't stand him. You know he went on to average over 30ppg at Bowie State and was over 20 ppg in Europe.

Monarch had several talented kids at Panola.

So far I'm not excited, but what difference does that make!  I knew Cyprien a little myself and liked him, haven't followed his carreer since he left.  He would be my first choice on the list but that doesn't mean anything.  A Brooks is probably the best PG LU has ever had but based on his past just can't get excited about him as head coach.  I really like the idea of a young up and comer.

Cyrien was the guy who got offered the ULaLa job but then was dismissed when it became apparent that he had lied on his resume.

Could be wrong, but I believe Cyprien actually was hired and moved to Lafayette but was dismissed or contract voided, actually, after only a couple of weeks on the job.  Still is a good coach, obviously, and I don't know if this would negatively affect LU's interest in him or not

I agree with you guys on Alvin Brooks.  It is just a name that is continuously brought up. 

Spanky, you are dead on with Cyprien.  That is exactly what happen.  Everyone makes mistakes though.  I think he would be a steal and turn our program around. JMHO!

      It's a great day in SETX!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
