Does Ray have any expectations, or does he get a pass forever?

I guess I have been spoiled with State big men over the past decade. We transitioned from Mario Austin to Lawrence Roberts to Charles Rhodes to Jarvis to Moultrie. I have high standards I guess.

I'd like to see us recruit true centers -- and transition Black into Roquez's role in the 4. He'd excel more in that role IMO. Has shown glimpses of ability to shoot it...

Of the guys listed, only Lawrence Roberts was elite as a true freshman. And he was at Baylor at the time. The rest of them matured into tremendous players and showed promise early on certainly...

Well we got a 6'10 Ndoye for that role, he's just not able to contribute much for now. Of course probably not many 6'10-7' guys that can play immediatedly that will accept our current level of "scholarship offer".

2 of those 4 were transfers.. That's what we have to get next year, a transfer or 2. They don't even have to be eligible next year although would be nice to get a graduate from a mid major or somewhere with some skills that wants to play one year in the SEC . Just look at Mason at Auburn. Transfered from Nigera. And is a huge contributor for them..
Look at Kennedy.. I think they have 4 transfers that all contribute for them this year.

Ray doesn't believe in signing transfers. Must be the case since he's missed out on over 1,800 of them. It's one of those castration rules that Ray put on his team that SS got full wood over and hired him. "No AAU, No transfers". We are the suck and we will suck the most honorable way. Our suck is above signing sleezy transfers. We'd rather suck.
