Any chance we get Giddens? Ohio St. Transfer and hs teammate of Staley....

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

were on the list...

[msstate7]

Position?

[archdog]

Center - Basketball
We may. Doesn't he come from the same high school as staley?

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

C..I remember wishing like hell that Staley could sway him..but he stayed committed to Ohio State..He is a bad ass..

If we land him, which one of he, ado, and herard can play the 4? Or do we RS one of the freshmen?

[Dawg61]

Is he going to play football cause I'm not sure Staley's basketball experience will help us land him. Maybe they are good friends and Staley can help there.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Was Staley told to go to football when he wanted to still play basketball? If not then that shouldn't matter.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

It would be a tough problem...but a good problem to have.

I'm purely guessing. Staley may have loved his 5 minutes he saw total. Idk

[KentuckyDawg13]

He would have to sit out a year.

Very strange to think MSU may have 3 real centers after years of not having 1.

4 of those 5 couldn't give a rip about playing time because they know next season they'll be in the NBA.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Ado and Herard will still be on the team in a year.....and Giddens can play the 4. Watch videos on this guy...he is very athletic

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Giddens is very athletic but his offensive skills are limited. Mainly stuff around the basket. He's a very talented kid but he didn't make a big impact this year. A little less than 4ppg & 4rpg in 19min/game. He did avg 1.5bpg which led the team.

The rule should be if you fb coach holds camps in other states, then those states should get a waiver on transfers.

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

The 247 article says he's considering us among 5 other teams (UK, UF, FSU, UT, UGA). Anybody have a leader?

Would love to have him, no one is finishing in the paint w/ him, Ado, & Herard switching out.

I bet he ends up at Georgia or UT

[Quaoarsking]

Do we have space for him?

7 recruits signed.
Newman, Ready, Weatherspoon, Holman, Strugg, Stapleton. That's 13.

I'm assuming Newman will return since a lot of draft boards aren't even listing him as a second round pick.

If this guy wants Newman's scholi we absolutely give it to him so Newman better decide real soon what he is doing. We do not allow Newman to hold the 13th scholarship hostage. He's about to learn a life lesson real quick. Sorry but we've been telling him for months he needs to return. Shit or get off the pot. Last NBA mock doesn't have his name in either rounds. The signs are everywhere and he's choosing to be stubborn and ignore them. Tough cookie. We ain't passing on a 5***** player while Newman takes his sweet ol time with this. Life is tough. Sac it up.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Still hear a grad transfer is most likely. Anthony Livingston is a guy I keep hearing a lot about.

Woah this dude is a beast! 15.9 ppg 10 rpg as a freshman, 15.5 ppg 9.4 rpg as a sophomore. 2nd team All-Sun Belt.
He is old and big. 22 years old. If this guys plays for us next year along with our 7 other stud freshman we are going dancing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ttXdwW4ZRCg

Would he have two years of eligibility left?

This is pretty dang funny. Malik is going to the pre draft camps. If he wants to come back after those camps, bet your sweet ass that Howland will welcome him back with open arms and his scholarship will be there. If you think otherwise, well you're wrong

So whose scholi are you pulling then cause I know you aren't saying tell the 5* transfer thanks but no thanks. You pulling Strugg, Ready or Stapleton's? Anyway you slice it you're the bad guy. Nice guys don't win.

[engie]

Winners don't cut or threaten to cut Malik Newman. Nor do they put him on the chopping block in any way whatsoever.

Wait is that the #1 rated shooting guard and the lock lottery pick Malik Newman or is that the Malik Newman that's dropped completely outta the draft and wasn't even starting at the end of the season? Clock is reaching midnight. You're gonna be left without Newman, Giddens, Livingston and now Stapleton.

[MarketingBully]

I wouldn't grab a transfer that has to sit out. I would only go after a grad transfer. Anthony Livingston is who we need to get. We will be fine either with Malik coming back or staying in. My best guess is that we will try to find a good place for Strugg to land. This team is loaded with talent but is heavy with freshmen and sophomores. We need a grad transfer senior that can give us leadership with IJ Ready. Of course if Newman comes back, IJ could be another that we try to find a soft place to land. Who knows....

Livingston shot .859% from the free throw line last year. That's insane. This guy is old as dirt and looks to be tough as nails. He's a walking double double. He looks mean as hell. He basically averaged a double double his entire time at ASU.

http://www.astateredwolves.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=209643497&DB_OEM_ID=7200 This is only his first year there. There's an entire second season of him averaging 15.5 ppg 9.4 rpg and shooting 86% from the charity stripe.

Is Livingston comparable to Moultrie?

Livingston had five games with 15 or more rebounds as a freshman. He shot 86% from the FT line and it wasn't cause he barely went to the line. He went 142 times and made 122 of them. We've never had a big guy shoot FT's that well that I can remember. His second to last game he had 22 rebounds and 18 points and that was vs Little Rock the team that upset Purdue in the NCAA tournament. He is a much needed veteran tough guy for a very young team. My answer is yes he's comparable and I think I'd rather have Livingston for this team than Moultrie as crazy as that sounds.

Looks to me like nobody wants to touch him cause he had a run in with a cop and cause he's about to collect retirement. Oh well. Our gain. Should make playing in Missouri more interesting.

No he's going to be highly sought after by high majors. His past won't be much of a deterrent considering he's only going to be on campus less than a year. He would be a great pickup.
