re: Trent Johnson - Local players he's let slip out of state

I think Trent will get his share as time goes on.

First of all, it's not like we've ever had a fence around Louisiana in basketball the way we do in football, and secondly, it's easier to get the guys you want when you have a few years under you're belt to convince the prospects the program's heading in the right direction.

This year, and next year's classes look a little better than what we've been getting. With continued progress on the court, which I fully expect, I think Trent turns this around.

He may never get EVERY player we want from the state but, I really think we're gonna have a shot at a lot more of them.

Actually, if you think about it, as he begins his 3rd year, we have a more balanced roster than we did at almost any time during the Brady era. What I mean is, almost every year that Brady was here, were were either a team full of swingmen with no depth at 4 and 5 positions, or a team with no point guards etc.
