Yeah....Vandy is supposed to have three 5 Star players coming in to their program next year. Read about a good while ago.

Hope Perry does start and I hope Stapleton and Holman are cool with coming off the bench. If those 3 players accept their roles with zero drama and everyone else comes back we'll be a top 5 SEC team maybe top 3.

With Reggie perry we will have 6 NBA players on this team.

We do not have 6 NBA players on this team! Perry, maybe, we will see. The rest might get shots over seas.

You missed 99jc poking fun. There was a thread earlier this season that predicted half our team to be Nba players lol

I don't for 1 minute believe ESPN just "made a mistake" with the Perry / Duke listing. I'm convinced it was intentional. whose that ole miss 17 up there? what's his position / title? how long has he been with ESPN? this shit has become expected these days with them doing this to us. and it seems it has gotten worse over the last 2 years or so.

I said that Lamar Peters, Nick W, and Abdul Ado are all NBA caliber players. You add Reggie Perry to that and that is four NBA caliber players. I also said if we added DJ Jeffries that would be five. We aren’t getting Jeffries so that means we will have four NBA caliber players on our team next year. Peters turned heads at the Adidas tournament this summer and was getting buzz as a lottery pick. I think he ends up going in the first round with a great season next year. I also think the same of Nick W. Reggie Perry? If he makes the impact I think he will, I believe he could be a one and done but he definitely will be a first round pick in the 2020 draft. Ado has the measurables that scouts love on the next level. If he continues to improve, I think he will be a first round talent as well. So next year I think we will have four future NBA players on our team.

Of course I don’t know why I bother discussing such things with MSU fans since most of you guys know nothing about basketball.

Hope they all make it. Quick quiz... how many state players have been drafted in the 1st round all time? The answer is 7. I am not sure you realize just how tough it is to make the Nba

To be fair, that is an unbiased 3rd party projecting 2 of our current players to be 1st round picks next year. And it even has Q listed as a late 2nd round pick. Being a 1st round pick is not required to make the NBA.
And we've never really recruited consistently like we are now. Why would it be that crazy to think that at the very least, top-50 recruits could become NBA players? I think it's pretty likely we at least have 3 players on next year's team who end up playing in the NBA. Likely a couple more than that.

Nick is a top 30 player. Reggie Perry is a top 20 player. Lamar Peters has already impressed scouts and is on their radar. He’s a consistent year away from being drafted in the first round. I list Ado just because he has the measurables scouts look for. You can’t teach a 7’5” wingspan. Next year’s team will have more talent on it then the 96 Final Four team.

And Howland has coached and taught three times as many NBA players as we have had in our history. He has 24 players currently in the NBA with contracts worth over $900 million. Do you think NBA scouts give a shit that he is coaching at MSU or do they respect Howland and his ability to get kids ready to go to the NBA? Westbrook and Mbah a Moute were lightly recruited three stars not even in the top 200.

We have zero majors that put State grads into these jobs. Nobody at MSU is smart enough to realize we need to create these majors and start putting massive amounts of MSU grads into these fields/jobs for the problem to go away.

I think ESPN layoffs are also an issue. That looked more like an oversight not caught by an editor or copywriter then an actual slight.

I am not sure you can count 2nd rounders bc they rarely make the roster. Last year, 19 of the 30 first round picks were freshmen or foreign. Once you play past your freshman year, the odds of making to the nba go down even farther
ETA... now if you talking just getting drafted, you guys could be right. If playing in the nba is what is predicted, I do not think we have 5 players

I said if we got DJ Jeffries it would be at five. At this point though, I feel good about four making it.

Feels like I read this excuse twice a week on here now. When does it stop becoming a terrible excuse?

Malik late second round 2019 mock draft, just barely ahead of Q and way behind Nick/Lamar. Interesting.
