re: Is there ANY positive way to spin the Rick Ray hire at State?

I liked Ray's press conference today. I am excited about us running a full court press, fast transition offense. He seemed very intelligent and knowledgeable of the game. Even with him having no SEC ties, he has many Midwestern ties and there is a lot of basketball talent in those areas.

Most of our players are from out of state anyways, so it isn't like we can't recruit outside the south.

I think we will be fine and my fellow State fans need to support him and sit back and see what happens. I have faith in our AD that he made a good hire.
