She said it herself, did you read the interview? Clearly she didn't know anything, hell she said we weren't even in it when Newman has said otherwise.

You're a fricking moron.
Where did she say LSU wasn't in the picture?
Of course she doesn't know where Malik is going to sign, but she has been around him and knows who he likes and where he is leaning. If she doesn't know shite, why the frick would 24/7 be interviewing her?

She said LSU "WAS" in the picture due to McCray (i.e. when he left, we were and have no longer been in it). She was speaking as LSU being in the picture in the past tense and only due to McCray. She didn't say LSU got into the picture due to McCray, she specifically said the past tense as we "were" in the picture due to him. big difference.

Good, so you agree, interview meant nothing and as she said, she has no clue where he's going.

And LMAO @ asking why they would interview her. They are a site dedicated to creating buzz, clicks, talk and getting subscriptions. They are going to interview anyone they can who might have info on any particular recruits situation. Some interviews turn out to be insightful, others, like hers, gave no real insight into anything that everyone doesn't already know - nobody but Malik knows where he's going. It's still going to create buzz, just like it has, because some lemmings like yourself will take everything people say like the bible.

Recently his own father said if he were Malik he would go overseas, certainly seems like it's at least on the backburner. Fastest way to real money. No guarantee he could even 1 and done and get drafted in the 1st round for the NBA.

Given his father's recent comments on what he thinks Malik should do, I think it's likely he goes overseas.

Malik Newman says he doesn't plan on signing a letter of intent, just scholarship papers.

Malik Newman on overseas talk: "It's not a serious option. It's not a rumor, it's something that is true. But it's not a serious option."


Is this proof enough for you idiots that Malik isn't going overseas?

He also claims Malik is announcing at the Jordan Brand Classic.

I didn't say he's definitely going overseas, just that clearly it's in the picture, especially with the way his dad talked about it. Seems like he didn't completely dismiss it there either, typical Malik

Also not signing anywhere? Weird...

Horatio agrees with this

Quote from Horatio Webster on McCray
quote:

"He's recruited Malik since ninth grade," Webster said. "He has a good relationship with him. They talk from time to time and I have a pretty good relationship with him, too. When he left LSU, the recruitment (of Malik) stopped."


Bottom line is no one knows where this dude is going. MSU,UK, and LSU all have valid cases, but from reading about how extremely close he is with his dad I would say MSU is the frontrunner. The whole argument of picking a school based on surrounding talent is sort of over played IMO. The Harrison Twins were surrounded by gobs of talent and their stock steadily declined. There are numerous occasions were a player can actually be penalized in the minds of scouts due to high levels of surrounding talent.

Every player gets overseas offers. Of course they're not rumors, but it's also not a serious option for most players.

What would be the point in signing a LOI this late in the process; just sign the scholarship papers to the school you choose.

You are literally too dumb to argue with.

The Harrison twins stock declined because they were vastly overrated by just about everyone in high school, not because of talent surrounding them. That had absolutely nothing to do with it, they just never played very well hence their NBA stock tumbled. The only way talent around you would affect your NBA stock is if you're not playing (like Marcus Lee for instance). If you're playing the guys around you can really only help your NBA stock, not hurt it.

Do you not get it? He's leaving his options completely open (even for overseas) by doing this. You keep calling everyone stupid for no reason other to make yourself feel better. Everything you have said you cant backup entirely without someone else pointing out a fallacy in your argument. You say Malik isn't going overseas at all, we say he's considering it then you post a quote of him saying it's an option just not "serious" - so he's not saying it's off the table by any means. Hell his entire recruitment has been one mixed bag of differences because no one knows what he's doing, yet here you are trying to speak in absolutes on everything. We get it, you're hyped up he might choose MSU, but you don't need to be a dick about everything especially when you aren't even right.

There are plenty of reasons talent around you hurts. Less scoring opportunities since they go to others, assists seem easy since they dish to top talent and perceived easier opportunities due to bot being the guy

NBA scouts aren't obsessed with stats, they are obsessed with size, athleticism and how well you play. If talent around you negatively affects you in any way (and you're playing) then why does UK continually have 1st round draft picks (and lottery picks) yet a ton of these guys never put up big stats?

Talent around you can only help NBA stock, not hurt it. The only way it hurts is in a case like Marcus Lee who has seen very limited minutes due to talent in front of him therefore he has much less time to showcase what he can do.

At this point, what would be the point in a LOI? Those are legally binding agreements before the agreement is finalized. At this point any agreement to attend a school can be finalized because the signing period has already started. There would be no point in signing a LOI when you can just sign the scholarship papers. Again, you are too stupid to argue with, but I'm trying to help you understand how this all works.

He said the overseas offers aren't a rumor. He didn't say him considered it wasn't a rumor. He said him considering it wasn't a serious option.

I would disagree since if you are playing with other viable scoring options your usage rate in the offense would be significantly lower than if you are a one man show. An example of this Kevin Love, his stock has dropped since moving from the T-wolves to the Cavs because he is no longer "the man". Look at Harden, he is now a legit MVP candidate since his move from the crowded Thunder backcourt.

We're talking about college, not the NBA. We're talking about what NBA scouts are looking for. The whole idea good players can make your NBA draft stock bad outside of you not playing much (being behind them) is completely false. Otherwise why would UK continually have top draft picks?

The fact is scouts are looking at your size, athleticism and game. Good teammates can help you get better and even get noticed more. Bad teammates can put you in a funny spot "overplaying" yourself at times trying to do it all.
