re: Rick Ray is the guy for the job

Well did you dawg Stansbury for getting people like Vern and Bost? ok then

Hell no. Both were 4 star guys and the 'Verne was the MR. Basketball in MS.

Malik will be a 5 star prospect and we have a slim chance of landing in 2 years depending on if we show improvement or not

Booker- ZERO shot of landing due to his ties to Michigan and Missouri

Riley Norris- Doesnt even have an offer and is a low 3 star

Maurice Dunlap- Really needs to work in the weightroom, I see him as a less unathletic smaller Barry Stewart

Laderrick Scott- Grades, wont qualify JUCO bound

Dwight Coleby- Signed with Ole Miss b/c AK knows how things in SEC recruiting work

You mfs are talking yourselves in circles.

We've got Darkhorse saying we aren't recruiting elite talent. I show that we are, in fact, offering and TARGETING elite talent. Almost all of which have been on campus. That = RECRUITING THEM. AS MUCH AS WE POZSSIBLY CAN. The second lists I added aren't "offers", they are TARGETS, as in the only guys we are going after. Yet, now we've got Bundy whining about "we dont have awwyyy chawwwnce of gettin these guwsss". Well, we're fricking recruiting them. We're trying our best. What more would you have us do, Bundy?

You frickers are just going to bitch about this until we start winning...at which point I will let NEITHER of you enjoy the success on here. IF you bail on the program and whine and bitch when we are down(at no fault of our current coach), you don't deserve to enjoy the success we have on the other side of this.

Recruit like we did when Stans was HC he never hap problems signing elite prospects, only had problems getting them to come to college.

Lets face it college basketball recruiting is a dirty business if Coach Ray wants to make it he's going to have to get his hands a little dirty.

And maybe Rick Ray doesn't want to be dirty, maybe he wants to do it the right way. Maybe you shouldn't criticize him for having morals. Maybe he doesn't want to become Rick Stansbury.

And just WTF has Ray done that makes you think he is incapable of playing the game and signing elite prospects to the same/greater extent than Stansbury did? Are the boosters that fronted all the money to get each and every Stans recruit to campus for the past 20 years just going to suddenly butt out and not keep rolling? Have you ever talked to Rick Stansbury for more than 5 minutes? It is not his amazing personality that got those guys to Starkville. It is "the game" in which basically all the players are still in play.

The less Ray knows about it, the better.

Saying we have no chance with guys who have been to our campus multiple times and are being actively recruiting 2+ years in advance simply shows YOUR TRUE AGENDA. If you were playing it honest, you would say, "good, they are giving us a look, we have really got to pull out all the stops to get those guys." But that goes against your agenda of calling Ray a failure until he proves himself a success, instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Again.... You use one site to prove your point.... U don't link it, you capture a picture. I show you 2 sites that totally say you are wrong.

So pick and choose what site makes your point. I don't care. When you buy my tickets and pay my way, then you can tell me I can't have an opinion. When you pay my club membership... Then you can tell me what I can think.

Otherwise, I will continue to voice my opinion on what he does or does not do.... Deal?

Also, please link me to show that all of those prospects stepped foot on campus.

First, learn how to reply, genius.

You haven't shown me a damn thing. Nothing. You haven't linked jack shite. You "told" me that we weren't recruiting blue chips and I proved to you that we are. End of story. You are trying to use two sites that don't even half arse follow basketball recruiting in the first place, much less MSU basketball.

Link me to where they haven't?

Devin Booker and Malik Newman were both there on unofficial visits for the Arkansas game. Whether you choose to believe that or not, I don't give a flying frick. Your mind is made up and your opinion is stupid. I accept the fact that I can't change it. But, I will be calling it out whenever I see fit and exposing it for it's inadequacies.

No you only proved we offered. That's it. To be honest, I really don't care if you can or can't.

You want me to prove a negative?

And Horatio was at the Auburn game. All unofficial. You still are not proving your point.

You feel that an offer is in fact recruiting. It is not. Like I stated earlier, great job on getting the players up and fighting. However, until I see his actions (which will take time) I'm not going to crown him a great recruiter. PERIOD. I can only go by his, not mine, words.

If he in fact starts to pull in great recruits, I will sing his praises!

I will post my opinions whenever I see fit. You are more than encouraged to respond. It's a message board. I expect that and accept that. Like wise... I will do the same.
