Hahahaha yea Ray won't be recruiting near the talent Stansbury will be. I don't care if Stansbury is at Delaware Tech he'd still out recruit Brick Ray.

Yup suxs so much he got fired. Now on to fixing the current cluster **** we've got.

[Coach34]

Now on to fixing the current cluster **** we've got.

Our cluster**** is finally over...we will finally have a solid roster this November

[msstate7]

Our cluster**** is finally over...we will finally have a solid roster this November

I think so too. I think we're gonna be much improved maybe even national champs...ok not that improved, but substantially better

Bull shit that's what you said this past year about this time. And there's a lot of time bt now and November.

[Dawg61]

Hope you're right

[preachermatt83]

I predict we still miss out on even the NIT and Rick Ray is released. I certainly hope we are much improved but I just don't see where it's gonna come from.

I expected more out of Lewis and Steele- no doubt. With the program being place now for two years- I just can't see anybody smoking their way out or being a ***** at this point

[thf24]

I certainly hope we are much improved but I just don't see where it's gonna come from.

1. Much increased post depth. Last year we had one legit post player. This year we have four (Ware, Daniels, Ndoye, Black); five if Zuppardo puts in the time in the weight room. I don't think some of you realize just how much this is going to improve all aspects of our defense.

2. Last year we had three halfway legit three point shooters. Out of those, IJ was hurt on and off the whole season, FTF was bad for most of the year, and Borchert was inconsistent. This year we lose Borchert but add three more (Daniels, Dunlap, Zuppardo), and if FTF picks up where he left off last season, he'll finally be the three point specialist we thought we were getting when he arrived in 2012. And with more shooting threats to space the floor, Chicken can go off even harder.

I agree it's not a foregone conclusion that we'll make the jump back to 20 wins, but anyone who doesn't see we finally have the roster to be a legit team again either isn't trying or doesn't want to.

[quickstrike2]

Tennessee got turned down 4-5 times....that should put our search in perspective for Strick ...I'm not saying he did a good job, but I am saying there was an extreme level of difficulty

Stands to Southern might be a good fit. Good landing spot for him

I agree with your point. At the end of the day, Tennessee got a coach with experience assistant coaching in the SEC, experience assistant coaching in the state of Tennessee, and two head coaching jobs where he had some success. I'm not saying Tyndall will do anything at Tenn, but Strick messed up the hire by getting a guy with no knowledge of Mississippi and probably little to no knowledge of the SEC. Not dishing on Ray, it wasn't his fault Strick had no common sense and hired him.

[Political Hack]

we have two, maybe 3, SEC basketball players. One may be hurt. One can't shoot consistently. One can't play 36-40 minutes every single night.

Still rolling with this redundancy, I see...

Stans to USM is a perfect fit for him ---- plus, it gives the FIVVVVEEEEE STAR in Scooba somewhere to land**
