Please stop about kentucky, i realize they are the elite of elite at the moment. they are also 12 kids that never played together ever. There's some value of a core team that's put in the time together , IMO. Put him on a 18-20 win team with mostly returning starters in the SEC and I dont think it's a "bad" move.Quote:

I assume you're referring to Booker and he he isn't a "Mississippian" - he played in Moss Point when he started living with his father, but lived in Michigan more than in Mississippi. The KY roster is more accurate - 1 Devin Booker Guard 6-6 206 FR Grand Rapids, MichQuote:

For what it's worth, Newman's career wouldn't suffer at all by choosing MSU. He's only going to college at all because the NBA won't let players declare out of high school, and he could literally pick anywhere and be one of the top picks int he 2016 draft. If he decided to go to Holmes Community College, he'd be one of the top picks. If he decided to go to some random D3 school in Maine, he'd be a top pick.
If Newman wants to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, he was never going to come here anyway. If he doesn't care about that and just wants to go wherever for a year while he waits to become an NBA rookie, then we're just as viable of a choice as anyone else. It really doesn't make a difference if we're an NIT-quality team without him or a sub-NIT-quality without him if he doesn't care about chasing college championships.

If we're ever going to be relevant in basketball again, it's going to cost money to do it. Our mission should be to get a coach with a very good head coaching pedigree interested in our program. Unfortunately, any remaining quality from our program name and brand has been lost in the last 3 and a half seasons. That makes this a tougher task to accomplish. This will be a momentous hire of significant scale, if we want the success we used to enjoy. We need someone that can give us instant improvement, not just long term.
You all got what you wanted. Some folks just arent happy with an upper middle class income and a 3 year old suv.
That's what I 100% believe and I'm sticking to it.Quote:

LOL, still can't give Stans credit can you?Quote:
