I think as good as any. Coach McCray is the lead recruiter here. I think you get this kid, Woodard, and Stewart and call it a day. He would play the stretch four for us and is a perfect fit there in Coach Howland's system. I believe he is a legacy as his dad played for us before transferring out as a senior. He was rumored to have visited campus early this summer as well. Not saying he is a done deal but I think we have a puncher's chance.
Articles say he wants to be closer to dad because of health reasons. I wonder if his dad lives in Thomasville, Ga. Florida State would be the closest school to that that town if that is the case.
if the transfer is indeed due to his father's health, doesn't geography work against us?
We definitely have a shot. He took a quiet visit here a couple weeks back. His dad played ball at MSU, Al Perry. Yes his mom & dad are married & live in Thomasville, GA. That's not right around the corner but a helluva lot closer to Starkville than Fayetteville. He'd be IMO the best recruit Howland would have landed at MSU. He's the prototype stretch 4 & would fit perfectly in our system. I'm not sure if he's making any kind of decision soon but I would never bet against Howland & crew.
gotta like seeing 5 stars next to someone we have a good shot at getting
Would be awesome to get Woodard (3), Stewart (2), and Perry (4) in this class. They all would play different positions and would compliment each other nicely. Those guys would be the type of class that Howland could use to get us to the Sweet 16. Two Brooks recruited guys and a McCray recruited guy. I would trade a 20+ win season this year to land that class for next year. Perry is a legit one and done.
another Bulldog legacy. Wonder why we weren't already high on His list. Al came from NY and brought Gary Hooker with Him. Great team-Wiley Peck-Ricky Brown-Al Perry-Gary Hooker and Greg Grim. Might be the best ever. Ricky Hood was also on that team.
Ray White was a 6'5" guard from Gulfport who played with that bunch. He was an outstanding player! I'm pretty sure Gary Hooker played for the Harlem Globetrotters a few years, Wiley Peck was another outstanding player, dude was one of the best offensive rebounders, Ricky Brown another great player. I still remember watching Alcorn upset this team in a NIT game at the Hump. The legendary Davey Whitney was their coach and they were loaded with talent, we blew a big lead that night. Also a whiskey bottle came flying on the floor late in the game, luckily it didn't hit anyone.
P.S. I think that was the first game ever played between a in state SWAC school and Msu. It was a very intense game.
