I bet all those other schools who offered him are pissed right now. Oh wait......

He'd start for us right now. As a junior in HS. Can we get him in school earlier? We need him. Bad.

I dont even know what this means. Your saying this kid that just dropped 36 in the state title game- which was only 9 less than his opponent scored total- is not a legit recruit? Are you really that stupid?

[smootness]

I bet all those other schools who offered him are pissed right now. Oh wait......

I'm confused. Is Ray stupid for offering a junior in HS with no other offers...who happens to be one of the top scorers in the state of GA? Or is he stupid for not offering a MS kid with no other legit offers after his senior year in HS? Or is it somehow, incomprehensibly, both?

Or are we picking and choosing what to argue based on what makes Ray look bad?

Well at least we got one Tookie to come play for State. Lost out on the other Tookie.

[maroonmania]

Well this Tookie hasn't signed yet so nothing is official.

[bully99]

Good point, if some of the big boys come after him, he may not make it.

Don't worry we have Troutman coming in who we beat New Hampshire to get!!!! Just like we beat all the SWAC schools for Oliver Black!! The future of the program is looking great****

IJ Ready looked good in high school too. Tookie is a 5'9 PG with no other offers. None.

I haven't written off ready yet. Hopefully conditioning can reform him from glass to plexiglass at least

He just has a hard time getting to the rim and getting his shot off b/c he is only about 5'9. He would be the perfect PG on a team with multiple shooters b/c he has a good handle and he is a good distributor. He can create shots for his teammates but we don't have anyone who can finish. We need him to be a scorer and that's not his game at this level.

It is Readys defense that has me concerned. He cannot defend bigger guards. He cannot stop dribble penetration. He could not beat out Bloodman, another smurf and turnover machine. We lose Borchet and don't know if Daniel is as good. I did think Flat top Fred played pretty good His last few games. Stansburys recruits are the only talent on the team. Rays boys couldn't start for Delta St. Next year looks to be more of the same. You have too have guards to win, ours are not SEC quality.

But Stans caused all of this!!!! He's the reason Ray can't win a home game against a headcoachless South Carolina team that we were favored in!!!********

But you and others wanted Kenny Paul Geno, right?

He would've been a walk on not a scholarship player....

[engie]

He would've been a walk on not a scholarship player....

Over an actual Georgia offer? No.

[Intramural All-American]

That's what I don't get. We would have had to offer him a scholarship for him to come here. People would have crucified Ray for that scholarship offer.

[smootness]

Just like we beat all the SWAC schools for Oliver Black!!

Oklahoma St, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, and Wichita St are SWAC schools?

And the Geno talk is hilarious. Everyone complains that we didn't 'take' a guy who scored 24 points this year...then when it's pointed out that his offer list looked worse than a lot of the commits they're bashing, they claim we should have taken him as a walk-on, which we obviously would have done had it been an option.

It's so stupid.

It's par for the course on all this. Daniels was called shitty and a terrible croot by people screaming for us to get Pollard. Then when it was shown that Daniels juco numbers were better than Pollard's- they moved on to something else.
