    I don't think we're going to see a lot of people waste their potential under Jans. They may transfer out because they don't like how hard they are required to play, but they won't just come in and not improve. Now that said, some people are just not scorers and I don't think Jans is going to perform any real magic with them. But the type of improvement that Moore had this year is likely. Better playing and decision making, even if the actual shooting doesn't improve that much.

    I saw something today that said there are over 1,000 players in the portal. That's crazy.

    There are tons of really good guards in the portal already. Jans has to go get a couple, I've been saying it for years now you win college basketball with good guard play. Go look at the remaining tourney teams, all of them have explosive scoring guard play. Heck FAU has about 6 or 7 good guards that contribute and that's what got them to the elite 8.

    Bumping this as BJ Mack has narrowed it down to his top 5 and unfortunately we didn't make the cut.

    Yep. Don't play D, you won't see the floor under Jans. Any word on Murphy and Russell? How about Cam, DJ, Shaq, and Will?

    Some of you mentioned Reeves from Florida was looking at us. Just saw he is going to Georgia Tech to play for Stoudemire.

    We've already missed on a few players who had us in their top 5 to 10.. Jans is a heck of a coach, especially defensively but that doesn't appeal to alot of kids who want to run up and down the court and score and I think that may be part of the reason Jans has struggled in recruiting so far.

    Yeah that Hubbard kid we got that scored the most points ever in the history of the state of Mississippi really didn't like Jans philosophy on basketball.

    I?m a huge fan of Jans, but the only reason he chose State was because Kermit was fired. He chose them, we just got lucky

    But he also chose Kermit and had an established relationship with them well before Jans came to campus.

    So sure Kermit getting fired helped, but had Jans been at MSU 2-3 years and had a chance to develop that relationship longer term, can we say he would t have initially committed to MSU? No way.

    Plus he didn't have to commit to Jans. He could have committed somewhere else. But he didn't.

    Jans may have been late to the portal last season, but please improve over Horton and Reed at "shooting" guard.

    Hubbard initially committed to Ole Miss with Jans at State, he wants to play at a hometown school. Good get by Jans nonetheless but AGAIN, Jans has struggled and missed out on alot of portal guys, even last year. I stand by my statement, Jans is a heck of a coach especially defensively but his recruiting so far has been bad other than Hubbard.

    He will have to step that area up for us, it's just the truth! Fans are just afraid of reality and the truth and what I'm saying is the truth
