Maurice Dunlap

[Dawg61]

whose getting his scholarship next year? cause it's obvious he gone.

[msstate7]

How you figure?

We are looking at a Juco guard and of course Malik. If we were to sign one of them then a current player would have to be released.

[Dawg61]

How you figure?

Cause he's already played this year burning his shirt yet he hasn't played at all since rumors of a fight happening and him getting injured.

[starkvegasdawg]

He was injured in practice when another player undercut him on a drive to the basket...allegedly on purpose. Never heard anything regarding a fight. I do know he's been medically cleared since around the Vandy game and unhappy with no playing time.

[Coach34]

I dont think he deserves playing time. I like what we got going right now

[starkvegasdawg]

I'd at least like to see if he can not be a turnover machine like some on the team.

I don't want him cutting into sword's mins

[starkvegasdawg]

I think he could provide another deep threat if given a chance.

I think he might could too. I'd hate to switch things up right now though

He is 3/14 this year- let's not act like he is a sniper. He is a true freshmen and really not ready for SEC ball.

And Ndoye is probably worse than that two feet from the rim. I'm not saying play him 20 minutes a game. I'd just like to see him get a few minutes out on the court. He can't make any worse mistakes than some of the reserves we trot out there now.

I'd rather him than Bloodman get Bloodman's minutes. Bloodman is a lost cause. Atleast let Dunlap chuck up 4-5 threes a game. Committ to it now and by SEC tourney time he may have calmed his nerves and will finally start making them. If we can get him, Fred and Daniels to all be hot we can beat anyone in the SEC except Kentucky. Our size, depth and athleticism is top half SEC. Our offense is the major hurdle. This last game we got a bunch of dunks from Roq and Fred and we shot FTs very well.

Well Ndoye wasn't signed for his shooting ability. Dunlap hasn't looked very good to me shooting when he has played. But I know he is only a true freshman.

Bloodman plays because he is PG to rest ready. Dunlap cant play that role. You cant just put anybody in there and pray it works out 61...damn

Slide Sword over to PG. Bloodman sucks dude.

It has been said by me in another thread that the basketball knowledge by some on here is very little to zero.. This gives more proof of this..

Yea thinking Bloodman at PG is better than Sword at PG is pretty damn stupid. I agree. Smartest post you've had in a week.

34 you seem to have something against, or know something about Dunlap. I've seen you give people associated with MSU much more benefit of the doubt that have a much bigger track record of shittery. Rick Ray comes to mind.

Dunlap is a 2 guard.. Not a 1 . A 2.
If he is ready to play and can help us down the road he will play.. And it will be at the 2...
And when and if he does either IJ or Bloodman will be at the point..

No one has ever said that Sword is better or worse than Bloodman at the point .
Why can't you just enjoy the win Sat. Instead of trying to find anything that points to dislike in our head coach..
We get it. You don't want him here.. Few do...
And like 34 said is not like Dunlap lit it up when he played.. Maybe he isnt ready to play yet. He played when Sword and IJ had their health issues...
I'm sure if we had enough faith in Dunlap to give us positive minutes he would play...

Why are you constantly trying to quiet the dissenters? That's genespageish. The argument is Bloodman vs Sword at PG. Not moving Dunlap from the 2.

[starkvegasdawg]

If that is the case then I'm fine with that. It's just that I've heard some rumblings from some close to the situation that there is more to this situation than him just not being good enough to play now.

Then argue playing Sword at point when IJ needs a breather..
Why even bring Dunlap into the equation..

[Coach34]

Bloodman is not very good- but he is still better than Dunlap right now. He has to rest Ready

[Coach34]

I just dont see anywhere for him to play right now. We really needed to RS him- but couldnt with Sword and Ready hurting

Read my post about giving Dunlap 4-5 attempts a game again. He was brought in to shoot. Let him shoot. We know Bloodman can't so give Dunlap his minutes and use Sword to rest IJ. Not that difficult.

Stupid to go back and forth with you..
You said give Dunlap Bloodmans minutes..
IJ can't play 40 minutes..
Sword isn't going to play point.. And if he has too doesn't mean Dunlap should get minutes..

This all started with you saying give Bloodmans minutes to Dunlap.
C34 tried to explain that Dunlap can't play the 1.

Bloodman has to give us a few minutes every game.. Like it or not. No one says he needs to play more than 10..
Hell I want IJ in there as much as possible. He should play 30-35 every game unless foul trouble..

We just can't have both Ware and Sword out of the game when Bloodman is in ...

Facepalm. Sword PG, Dunlap SG, Bloodman bench guard. It's not complicated.

Bloodman > Dunlap...you're right, its not complicated. You are just making it so. You want Dunlap to play defense as a 6'1 2-guard. He cant guard shit. Bloodman actually plays decent defense.

I would like to get a better look at Dunlap before we banish him to the back of the bench. If we are banishing him than we might as well trim the fat with him. Go get us a 6'4 Juco that can shoot.

Dunlap is an undersized 2 guard. He would have trouble creating enough space to get his shit off.
He is nit the answer.

[headcoach98]

I thought Dunlap would be that outside threat this year as well but I'm not against him not playing again this year. He would definitely be a huge key for us next season, another off-season of strength and conditioning would do wonders.

[DudyDawg]

Craig averages 2.3 assists and 3.2 turnovers over his career. He also is 0 threat from deep. That would be great to see at the top of the key against a 2-3 zone.Yeah, let's make him a primary handler. Bloodman is at the very least a solid defensive PG for ten minutes a night. Dunlap hasn't proven to be any better offensively. And he's proven to be worse defensively.

He's shooting 32% from 3 on the year and made 5/7 against OM, 1/2 against LSU. I wouldn't call him a 3 point specialist just yet, but he's developed into a perfectly decent shooter. Whatever reasons exist for him not to play the point, lack of deep threat isn't one of them right now.

[Coach34]

Sword has actually started to look decent from 3 the last 2 weeks. Hope it continues

He's made like 40 in his three year career. Theres no denying he's showing good signs, but whether that is a flash in the pan or a legit improvement with his health has yet to be seen. As of what we have seen, he isn't a legit threat. And he's not a good enough passer to play 1. That's a bigger issue for putting someone at the one. He's a prototypical slashing 2. Dunlap is an undersized shooting 2 who lacks the ball skills to play the point.

You're proving my original post correct. Whose Dunlap's replacement?

If he's gone I would assume tookie (ep) or one of the other commits. Roc is the only senior I can think of off the top of my head so wouldn't we need one or two for new guys? I don't follow bball recruiting much

Bloodman is also a SR.

Ray just said it is still possible for Dunlap to redshirt

Alright I guess we have the answer.

Medical? I'm not going to doubt the basketball coach, but that seems like a long shot if he's cleared to play now.

[CadaverDawg]

He didn't say. Was just reading his presser on twitter, and he said it was still possible that Dunlap redshirts this season. Then he said "I do not want him to lose a year". Not sure whether that means he KNOWS he can still redshirt, or if he is hoping for a medical.

whether he is cleared to play or not- if an injury cost him time and he stays under the maximum games allowed to get it- he can get a medical RS

[CadaverDawg]

Mike Bonner just said that according to MSU Compliance, If Dunlap plays 1 more minute this season, he cannot qualify for a redshirt

Wow no way RR planned that. If so that's the most impressive thing Ray has done to date.
