Mareng Gatkuoth
I noticed that sophomore Mareng Gatkuoth did not attend either the Weber State or Idaho State games. Does anyone know why? Illness, perhaps? I think that he is an intriguing young player. While he is currently buried on the bench, I look forward to seeing him play more in the future. I hope he sticks around.

Re: Mareng Gatkuoth
I don't see him around next year. His chances of playing are very slim with the talent ahead of him

Re: Mareng Gatkuoth
Congratulations to the Cats for winning the conference championship Tuesday night.
As an aside, Mareng Gatkuoth has not been on the bench for the last 3 home games, so I thought he had left the team. However, after checking around I learned that he has been away playing for his other team, the South Sudan National Team, coached by Luol Deng, at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 African Qualifiers in Dakar. In fact, on February 26, South Sudan shocked the African champions Tunisia, 72-64. Here is the link:

Can anyone confirm that Mareng is just on a "sabbatical" to play for South Sudan and that he is still a member of the Bobcats? I would be very interested in hearing the story of how Mareng ended up here in Bozeman playing for the Cats.

Re: Mareng Gatkuoth
Mareng was run off by coach Sprinkle in a very unproffessional manner. Great coach but needs some work in treatment of players, managers, and openness to coaches and their thoughts.

Re: Mareng Gatkuoth
Just making an assumption here, but I haven't seen him for weeks. I think he got homesick and is probably gone.

Re: Mareng Gatkuoth
No surprise here. Mareng Gatkouth has entered the Transfer Portal. Danny now has 5 open scholarships of which he has filled three: Ford, Brown, and Miller.

Re: Mareng Gatkuoth
Didn’t notice this thread before, but glad no one fed into the “bully Danny” new poster. Bummed we didn’t really get to see him, seemed to have a ton of talent but that’s the way it goes. Good luck to him !

Re: Mareng Gatkuoth
All our coaches must be bullies. Wasn't it not Mckay's fault but everyone else's he entered the transfer portal if memory serves me?

Re: Mareng Gatkuoth
There were copious amounts of rumors, speculation, and conjecture on here about McKay's reasons for leaving, but as far as I'm aware he never made any comments about the MSU coaches or other reasons for his departure.luckyirishguy25 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 21, 2022 1:19 pmAll our coaches must be bullies.

There will always be disgruntled family members or friends of players who come out of the woodwork when things don't work out and a player leaves (or is asked to leave) the program.

Re: Mareng Gatkuoth
I suspect this is now life with the new transfer rules. Teams will continue to be young in team experience as long as 5/12 of the scholarships keep turning over. Teams may become more sharply divided between game players and practice team players. Could this churn create more opportunities for players like Carter Ashe, who will be a graybeard if he sticks around much longer?
