Yep, if we don't get another difference maker or two we are going to be bottom 1/3 of the SEC for sure. Losing Murphy was a punch to the gut. Without Murphy to complement Hubbard this past season we would in no way have made the NCAA tourney.Quote:

Yes he can make money in College but he may be content with the money he has made and stable.
Hubbard is going to be told to learn to play PG. He cant even defend in college. I have zero worries of him being drafted
He definitely wouldn't get drafted for defense. What player his size has ever been known to defend? There have been some small players to play in the NBA so never say never. Are the odds stacked against him? Absolutely, but it doesn't mean it couldn't happenQuote:

Fills an immediate hole in our roster. Is a legit guard that can fill it up.
Further proof that none of the "insiders" that cover Mississippi State know anything. This guy wasn't even on anyone's radar except within the walls of The Hump. Huge pickup for Jans and Co.Quote:

Is this guy a true PG?
He was really good 2 years ago. Last year everything decreased a little but still had 20 on Villanova and Creighton.Quote:

The Hubbard - McGee - Epps lineup is going to have some EDs raging during the season for sure.
Combo guard but he can handle the ball. He and Hubbard will be a formidable backcourt. Need to spend every last cent on the best 3 in the portal.Quote:

This is definitely a solid pick up and a big need. It makes me feel better about this class. It would be nice if we could get 1 more big player and I think that would move us towards the top half of the SEC.
3 of the top transfers in Miss. St men's basketball history....
1. Dontae' Jones
2 Lawrence Roberts
3 Arnette Moultrie
Quite a few fans knew that these guys were good coming in but didn't quite know how good they ultimately became. Richard Williams definitely knew regarding D. Jones. Rick Stansbury had a good idea about the potential in the Lawrence Roberts transfer. Still, no doubt that Stansbury was pleasantly surprised how things unfolded. Moultrie was expected to be good but appears to have exceeded the coaching staff 's expectations of his upside.
Top football transfers in Miss. St history... possibly Fred Smoot, Randy Thomas, few others
They know some, can't know all. Doing their best and providing content. Similar to chat room "insiders".Quote:

Honestly that might be for the best. It makes me like Jans even more if he keeps things out of spotlight with some of our crazy ?insiders?Quote:
