Miss St Men's Basketball Off'season

[jdelta02]

(Off-season Thread)

Any thoughts on the men's basketball program moving forward into the off-season. Any info, suggestions, comments? Also, how is Tee Bartlet's conditioning coming along and where does he fit with this program moving forward?

Hope we can keep macura and grace without spending a lot

I like Hubbard as a starter.

I like Grace and JDF as rotation pieces. Need 4 starters.

I agree, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if either/both become starter quality this offseason. Now I don't wanna bank on that

[msstate7]

JDF is another guy I want around. Well, he, Grace, and macura depend on price

ETA... hopefully bring these 3 and the 3 commits in. Then go find 4 starting type guys

[Coach34]

Bring back Nwoko

[HoopsDawg]

Bring back Nwoko

I?d take him back for sure. Pls find a 6?5 to 6?7 wing who can shoot 38% from 3.

[msstate7]

Bring back Nwoko

Absolutely

[msstate7]

Are one of these guards for Vcu gonna be back? We need guys that can get to the basket and finish

The tourney has some guys that can help. Someone looking for a chance at a power4 without breaking the bank.

Arkansas went out and got freshman guard Darius Acuff Jr. How good of a floor coach is John Calipari?

[KOdawg1]

Need a 6'4+ combo guard who can shoot and defend.

Need a wing who can shoot.

Need a PF who can defend and rebound.

Fill in the rest from there, but we have to find those 3.

9.3 rebounds

I think he'd be a decent rotational piece, but he's not a starter imo.

[jdelta02]

6-8 Robert Morris sophomore forward DeSean Goode, the Horizon League Player Of The Year announces entering the transfer portal. 2025-26 season averaged 15.2 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.

57% percent from 3 point range


Been reading some posters indicating a need to look for a forward like this to bring in. Well here you go.

[cheewgumm]

Are there any Utah State sophmores that want to make some $>?

[cheewgumm]

We will know if our team is gonna be better or not, given the type of player that Jans recruits in the portal.

If he goes defense, we will stink again. If he hires shooters and scorers, we'll have a prayer.

[msstate7]

Boogie fland of Florida entering portal.


11.6 ppg
2.5 rpg
3.5 apg

6'3", and im guessing he can defend since he played at Florida. Might be a good target to pair with Josh

Our brand of basketball is boring and it doesn't attract elite players. I'm ready for an entire new approach. We need the old school UCLA fast break system where we try to put up 100 shots per game. Attract elite scorers and shooters. Bring some excitement back to the Hump.

Wouldn?t we have to hire a new coach to do that?
We still have to give Jans 3 more seasons because he took State to the tourney 3 straight years. It?s in the Mississippi State Rule Book written by Larry Templeton.

The only sport we recruit elite players to is baseball. Change the style all you want, but we still miss state

JDF is entering the portal. He was literally the only guy I hoped we kept. To be honest Jans just needs to rebuild the whole team, I wont be shocked if we only have one or two returners and thats if Hubbard doesnt decide to try to go pro

I'm sure he's testing his value. Wouldn't surprise me if he comes back, but I only want him back if he's paid as a bench piece

It would completely surprise me if he came back. Ive said it before but I just dont think alot of kids love playing for Jans. I have a feeling we will be replacing most of this roster, partly because of graduation but I also dont think this group needs to stay together

[Coach34]

These guys gonna always check their value. It's today's college basketball. Every player is a FA

Yeah, but usually their agent checks their value before the portal.

AMEN!

It's very Mississippi State.

Whoever the new coach is after next year will have another complete rebuild after Jan?s burns the program to the ground. And it will be ashes. Thats the only way MState knows how to do things

Conveniently, basketball can be rebuilt in one offseason
