So will Stans head to USM...

[Homedawg]

the change in expectations is what drives me crazy. why the hell is it ok for Rick Ray to be an NIT coach in year 3 or 4, but it's not ok for Stans? Basketball takes 5. It doesn't take 3 to 4 years to build a decent roster.

When you start w what Ray started with it takes a lot longer than 3 years. If u can't see that, I can't help you.

Stands took over a much better situation than Rick Ray did- and Stands won 14 games in his 2nd season. Rick Ray won 14 games in 2014.

Perspective

[Political Hack]

Thats where the disagreement comes in. And also where none of you can give us an example of where a coach rebuilt quicker when left with what Ray was left with

Ray had Hood, Jalen, Gavin, Wendell, etc... The roster wasn't decimated until after he was named the head man. But, let's just give him a pass on that and blame Stans.

ok- lets do this for the 307th time:

Hood was out the door
remind what Wendell Lewis did it his college career that was good?
remind of what Jalen Steele has done in his college career with his major injuries?

Using Lewis and Steele as positive at this point is hilarious

[Political Hack]

Hood was on the roster. Ray couldn't recruit someone on his own roster. Period. He does that and it's a game changer.

Ray could use a blind gopher at this point. Suggesting that Wendell and Jalen wouldn't contribute is absurd.

See, this is what I find so hilarious...You are touting a guy that you say would help us that got told:

"Wendell, buddy, you have failed your 2nd drug test. Wendell, now listen close. If you fail another drug test, we are going to kick you off the team. Do you understand that Wendell???? Smokey Dopey means you gone. Wendell, as long as you dont smoke weed again, you will be allowed to play college basketball. If you smoke weed again Wendell- you wont be allowed to play anymore. Do you understand buddy????"

Yeah, Ray was set up for success with shit like that wasnt he Hack? Holy Shit it's a wonder how Ray didnt go undefeated in the SEC with guys like Wendell left behind

Who says we aren't a basketball school. The replies are at 125 and counting on this thread..

The only other with significant reples is the official thread of the game yesterday. I shant upset my delicate nature and dare go over there and see the rants I am sure are there.

Fox Sports don't mess around when they decide to switch games do they?

Marshall Henderson makes fun on you.

How much is "a lot longer than 3 years"? That sounds like double even triple that timeframe to me. Yea let's give Ray 10 years to get us to the NIT bubble.** Ray is about to start year 3 and he's added zero difference makers. We gonna win with hustle and bad shooting? We ****ed till MSU decides to stop being cheap.

There coach goes again saying Hood was gone. That is bullshit. I talked to Mr. Hood myself and he told me point blank his coach was out so he got out. don't let him keep posting shit without investigation, I did and he is a lying s o b trying to prove his rant for 10 years. Hack is right.

"It was just a long, tough year for me," Hood said in April when he announced his intention to transfer. "Coach (Rick) Ray will be a great asset to Mississippi State, and getting to know him last week made this decision even harder, but after much thought, I am going to ask for a release. I wish my teammates and the program nothing but the best."

When Hood made his announcement, Ray downplayed the news, saying the decision "was made before" he was hired as the school's 19th men's basketball coach to replace Rick Stansbury, the school's all-time leader in wins, who retired in March after 14 seasons as head coach

Ha, I can't believe you are quoting the Commercial Disgrace. WTF did you expect Him to Say. It is pretty well known that Ray blew it with Hood. His folks really didn't like Ray's cussing. And here we are going on three years later and Ray still can't recruit one Impact player. But He has no problem running off the players He has.

Coach K is known for cussing like a sailor> What was your point again?

[Raytoraid83]

Marshall Henderson makes fun on you.

Colin Borchert (a Rick Ray product) laughs along as well

Coach K vs Ray-- ha- really?

[Noxdog]

Coach K vs Ray-- ha- really?

The Hood's did not like RAY cursing, hence he left. All I'm saying is if it's good for the goose, ya know. Can't have it both ways.

[Coach34]

what he is telling you is that your reference to cussing was stupid and simply not true...Hood did not leave because Ray cussed

I didn't say hood left because of Rays cussing, I said they didn't like it.There is a difference in cussing and how you cuss. Most every coach cusses. GDs and F bombs vs shit, damn etc. some people are offended by GDs

[CadaverDawg]

All in favor of this thread being given a bullet to the head, say "I". I'm getting sick of seeing it on the front page, and it has turned in to a brutal discussion that is going nowhere. Same stuff repeated for 7 pages.

I have a couple of close Friends whose Kids played for MSU, they were introduced to RR and were amazed by his foul mouth. You tell lies on a daily basis. But are quick to call Lie on others. And please don't even start counting stupid post you've made. I really don't give a **** what you think. If dog shit were fall on your head you could rationalized with some obscure stat that it was cake icing.
