I think as good as any. Coach McCray is the lead recruiter here. I think you get this kid, Woodard, and Stewart and call it a day. He would play the stretch four for us and is a perfect fit there in Coach Howland's system. I believe he is a legacy as his dad played for us before transferring out as a senior. He was rumored to have visited campus early this summer as well. Not saying he is a done deal but I think we have a puncher's chance.
Articles say he wants to be closer to dad because of health reasons. I wonder if his dad lives in Thomasville, Ga. Florida State would be the closest school to that that town if that is the case.
if the transfer is indeed due to his father's health, doesn't geography work against us?
Assuming his dad lives where Reggie goes to high school.Quote:

That's not right around the corner but a helluva lot closer to Starkville than Fayetteville. He'd be IMO the best recruit Howland would have landed at MSU. He's the prototype stretch 4 & would fit perfectly in our system. I'm not sure if he's making any kind of decision soon but I would never bet against Howland & crew.
Not a transfer he's a 2018 recruit.Quote:

About 7 hours versus a little over 13 according to Google Maps. Still a good hike but it at least puts a one night trip in reach.Quote:

I would trade a 20+ win season this year to land that class for next year. Perry is a legit one and done.Quote:

We were on him hard when he committed to Arkansas. He plays for an Arkansas AAU Team.Quote:

I still remember watching Alcorn upset this team in a NIT game at the Hump. The legendary Davey Whitney was their coach and they were loaded with talent, we blew a big lead that night. Also a whiskey bottle came flying on the floor late in the game, luckily it didn't hit anyone.Quote:

If I'm not mistaken, his AAU team is adidas sponsored....Arky is a nike school, correct? Can't hurt our chances...Quote:

You are joking I am sure.....no way better that the Bailey Howell teams or the early 60's with Red Stroud, etc. Nor better than the 1996 final four team.
Or the 2004 teamQuote:

I come back to check updates on Reggie Perry and all I see is talks about the basketball glory years. Start a new thread please.
I remember as a little boy you telling the story of you having to get the ball out of peach basket after a goal was made******Quote:

He'll yea, that's the first team I had the chance to meet as a kid. Greg Grim could stroke it, but didn't he leave early for some reason? Grades maybe? Wasn't Malone with that group too? My memory is failing me a little....Quote:

Why don't you just go back to your argument with Dawg 61 in the nomination thread.Quote:
