Man, y?all are crazy if you want Hubbard back. Dude is a liability. No defense and he shoots about 30%. I?m tired of seeing the MSU media put out instagrams about his ?highlights? while we lose constantly.

Yes let's get rid of our far and away best player. That's a sound strategy. Should we get rid of Kamario in football because he overthrows receivers and cramps up? Should we get rid of Ace Reese because he's a defensive liability?

Unpopular opinion, but I could not agree with you more.

Hub should go play for a winner where he's not the only offense on the 17'n floor. He should take a pay cut and got to FL, become an All-American and possibly win a Natty.
If you read this site Josh, do it... 17 these shitty 17'n fans.

He would certainly have to take a pay cut to go to Florida. All guards that have played at Florida have been at least 6'1" the last 2 years. They have klavzar this season who comes off the bench at 6'1". They mostly have 6'4" type guards
ETA... and you take this way too personally. College sports have become more like pro sports than ever bc of the money issue. All teams have to weigh how much of your money can you give to certain players. Hubbard is great volume scorer, but 3 million for him is obscene
ETA2... as hoops said earlier, we don't know all the details though. 3 million for Josh may not be there for someone else. If this is the case, that certainly changes things

Lol... UF would take Josh in a heartbeat. Literally 99.9% of teams would. Maybe not at $3M, but like I said... he should take a pay cut and go out in style. Put up amazing stats that actually mean something
-
We have a whole lot of restructuring to do to the roster, coaching staff and style of play. If Jans doesn?t adapt to modern basketball and put forth effort in the transfer portal he?ll be gone in a year.

He would be given a red light like he hasn't saw in college. Florida would not put up with all his shooting.
-
For reference, haugh leads Florida is shooting with 357 attempts. Josh has missed 325 shots this seasons. He's missed more than Florida's #2 in shots has taken.
-
We will do everything to keep Josh at State- dont be confused about that for one second. We want him to be the State Goat.
We have to be smarter about who we surround him with. We have some good young talent that cut their teeth this year. But we need a legit 2 with size and a 5 that can ball. The rest is just noise
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

Yea boy, wouldn't our team be really entertaining without him. We would be lucky to ever break 50 points.

Josh should leave bc Jans has proven that he CANNOT surround him with talented players. We had the worst talent of any SEC team, but if we didn’t have Hubb we would have finished dead last in the SEC. Yes, Josh owes it to himself to take his talents to a better program where he can average 15 and 5-7 assists per game and win! Then maybe some of you will see just how “good” Jans is when he has to build it from scratch!

What if I told you Jans has made the tourney here without Josh?
-
I think 95% of state fans (and I'm in this group) want Josh back. I just want Josh back at less than 3 million bc we need a more complete team

Even with him, this was the first season in my life that I didnt watch multiple games. This team was very hard to pull for. I recognize that this portal era is a part of that.

I played a lot of basketball growing up. It was my sport. I like Hubbard he is a baller. As others have said at 3mil for a short guard that can’t play D because of his height is way too high. I also have not watched much MSU basketball this year as in years past I watched or was at every game. NIL/portal ruined the game for me.

The ideal situation would be for Jans to get the Kansas St job and for us to pull Bob Richey. He and Bucky McMillan were who we should have targeted from the get go

From my OM connections, watch beard for that job.

I heard someone in the last week or so that was questioning why we weren’t giving the kid from Leake a scholarship because he “plays the game the right way”.
I wish I was kidding, and no it was not his dad that said this.

And Hubbard would walk right out the door with Jans. Also, for reference, you are saying you would have hired Bucky McMillan in 2022 after two years at Samford in which he did not make the tournament and was a combined 27-24? Reminder he was a HS coach before that.
