With Reggie perry we will have 6 NBA players on this team.
We do not have 6 NBA players on this team! Perry, maybe, we will see. The rest might get shots over seas.
You missed 99jc poking fun. There was a thread earlier this season that predicted half our team to be Nba players lolQuote:

I think he ends up going in the first round with a great season next year. I also think the same of Nick W. Reggie Perry? If he makes the impact I think he will, I believe he could be a one and done but he definitely will be a first round pick in the 2020 draft. Ado has the measurables that scouts love on the next level. If he continues to improve, I think he will be a first round talent as well. So next year I think we will have four future NBA players on our team.Quote:

Of course I don’t know why I bother discussing such things with MSU fans since most of you guys know nothing about basketball.
Lol, this is just priceless.Quote:

Nick is a top 30 player. Reggie Perry is a top 20 player. Lamar Peters has already impressed scouts and is on their radar. He’s a consistent year away from being drafted in the first round. I list Ado just because he has the measurables scouts look for. You can’t teach a 7’5” wingspan. Next year’s team will have more talent on it then the 96 Final Four team.Quote:

Westbrook and Mbah a Moute were lightly recruited three stars not even in the top 200.Quote:

I said if we got DJ Jeffries it would be at five. At this point though, I feel good about four making it.Quote:

Q will not be drafted, too many holes in his game. Love him but NBA, not happening.Quote:

Lamar's handles and vision are so far above Malik, it's not even comparable.
You may be right....years ago I was told ESPN had one OM grad in the higher up admin for them and another one in a mid level job. So it may not be just a "mistake". They will go out of their way to make on air mistakes of our name, mascot, or something else. Shep Smith does it all the time for Fox.....and why they pay him 8 mil per year is beyond me.....he is worthless and their little liberal along with Dana Perino. When those 2 come on back to back....I just switch to CNN or something else.Quote:

^^^ This ^^^ No excuse for us allowing this to continually happen as a member of the SEC. Someone should be in constant communication with ESPN about these issues, and proactively updating stats, images, logos, etc.Quote:
