    Well, we have a billionaire that loves Books. So he donated a new book to the library. So we got that going for us.

    We are here to educate, but I wish our billionaires would realize that Bama is who they are because their football team wins. They have a large enrollment. They are top notch research facility. All because people and the state of Alabama likes to give money to greatness.

    OM has gotten some good transfers, and I think Beard can obviously coach, but they haven?t gotten anyone that makes me scared. The Murray guy from Georgetown has potential to be the guy, but he only averaged 13 ppg this past season.

    With their transfers and holding on to Brakefield, they will good. Hopefully beard is there just next season

    Sellers is a good athlete and has an good frame which helps for defense,I think that will translate to the SEC, if Jans can pull him I really like our roster for next year. We addressed offensive needs with Andrew Taylor and hopefully Sellers.. plus we have Hubbard coming in along with some JUCO transfers. Im beginning to really like our roster, especially if we can get Sellers

    Other than more winning, there ain't much more at Bama that I want to be like. An overpriced education with a toxic arrogant culture. They are too big too.

    MSU is growing and we are hanging on to our small school feel by a thread.

    This is a good pick-up for us. He wasn't on the list of top 50 players in the portal, so we'll see what kind of impact he ultimately makes. Obviously it's good for us specifically to add a quality shooter to the mix. This guy isn't an absolute dead-eye shooter, but he will help certainly.

    Jans can do the same for us from a coaching standpoint, the recruiting has been a little shaky but I really like this recent pickup he got
    Sharp not Moon and the jury is still out who will be eligible to play this season
    No Signature

    You are so right, with the Sun Belt's different court, lane, and 3 point line****

    If the non -power5 teams from minor conferences played the same rules as the big boys, then someone from the WAC or CUSA might do better in the postseason***

    THIS.

    Jans consistently showed he could get open looks for guys.

    Look at the last possession of our season. Jans had plays that got us 3 great looks and one play with our best player driving one on one for a layup.

    We need a guy that buys in on D and can hit the open look.

    Yes, Jamarion Sharp, I don't know why I typed Moon... Moon was a guy that played at Meridian Community College years ago, I remember us recruiting him some back in the day.

    I like this pick up and I think his play will benefit us, I'm predicting he will average around 10/12 ppg 3/4 apg. That being said EdwardDrayton does have a point, what a player does in the Sun Belt type conference doesn't always translate over well to a Power 5. Look at Isiaih Mosley, a kid we were after. All of his numbers were down across the board at Missouri to include his minutes. He went from averaging 20 ppg at Missouri state to 9 ppg at Missouri..

    Andrew Taylor played 36.5 minutes a game which is literally almost the whole game, there were several games he did actually play all 40 minutes. He won't be asked to do that with us, I would say Jans plays him 28 to 30 mpg so his numbers won't be what they were at Marshal. But as long as he is productive, hits his open shots, free throws and plays defense he will have success

    So, that gives us Fort, Hubbard, and Taylor as very good 3 pt. shooters. Would be nice to pick up one more, but not sure another good portal shooter will come here now that we have those 3 in the bag.

    This is 100% correct in my opinion. All you have to do is go to Oxford and look at the esthetics of their town vs Starkville. Image is way more important to their fanbase than it is to ours. Yes, they are pretentious in a lot of ways and would rather look like they are wealthy than be wealthy. Our fanbase has always been the opposite. I love to win, but my priorities are my kid's future, not the future of some 20 year old athlete who might or might not even graduate from my university.

    I defintely understand that. I love our program, and I've been following Mississippi State since I was in Elementary school, but its just hard for me to continue paying money to these kids especially having my own children to take care of. I completely agree that they should be able to make money off of their name, image and likeness. I have no problems with that, but in my opinion those deals should come from partnerships with businesses, car dealerships, restaurants, nike, puma etc.. not that average working Joe like most casual fans are.
