re: Mississippi State basketball 11 straight SEC losses

When you step in to the shithouse that Rick Shitsbury left us, then you get at least 3 years to turn it around.


This is just Bundy being a whiny titty baby. Since he loves to talk about the past so much and wants to knock people who DGAF about the past, you'd think he wouldn't be so phased about some hard times.


We are in a real tough time with our Basketball program and we need to support the people trying to get it fixed.

Have faith in your man Rick Ray.

Its easy to just put everything on Stansbury but when it comes down to it he didn't leave us with what we are putting on the court. The perennial white kids he had sitting on the bench could beat this team.

We gave Stansbury the boot after a 20 win season. I don't understand why Ray deserves more than two of being the worst remotely relevant school in the NCAA.

That is incorrect.

You truly don't understand how shitty of a situation he left is in.

There is no possible situation as bad as what we have now. You could drop a nuke on Itawamba Community College's campus tomorrow and they would still beat the shite out of us come Saturday.

He left 4 kids (Kristers, Smith, Wendell, Jalen) who wouldn't tolerate discipline. All of whom defected because of said discipline. What could Ray have done about that? Then we have had several ACL injuries, and one player leave the team.
Other than Applewhite, what else can you really fault Ray for?

I don't view kicking kids off the team, rather than working to correct them, discipline. He had more tools than he does now, this is completely ignoring the fact that he hasn't recruited.

Our team is not disciplined. We consistently suck at fundamentals, we can't rebound, constantly take shots we shouldn't, and for the love of god we can't hit free throws.

How long does it take to find 5 guys that can win more than 3 league games?

That's my point. Three years seems like a long time to give a basketball coach to get things turned around. It's not like he's coaching in the ACC.

There was a reason he had no major offers. Small and can't shoot. Hell, he was backup PG to Anton Beard.

Wrong.

Ready shoots 45% from 3 and 87% from the line. He just cant stay healthy.

Working to correct a kid that had failed multiple drug tests? Obviously the kid didn't give a frick and he wasn't going to change that.

Ready made it, Daniels didn't make the grades (Partially Ray's fault), and Ndoye got fricked by the NCAA. How is that not recruiting? He has a couple players coming in this year that are pretty damn good. Houston is supposed to challenge to start right away. So effectively getting 5 more players in one year doesn't count?

I understand he hasn't recruited great but how are you when you don't have a full roster and can't win games because your team is gassed in the second half?

This I will never understand. With any team. Talented or not. fricking shot a thousand free throws at practice. That is correctable.
