re: Mississippi State finishes 5-0 in their European tour

He's a quote machine.

Good thread Bundy. Appreciate the updates on our squad.

Of course the trolls come a calling. Can't stand a decent, legit MSU thread.

Just an aside, I think Rick Stansbury, when all is said and done for his tenure in Starkville, will go down as one of the most underrated, successful coaches in SEC history. Stans gets a bum rap for "under achieving", but people who say this need to realize he is the coach at MISSISSIPPI ST. They are consistently a SEC West power, have performed extremely well under him in conference tournaments, and have been a regular NCAA Tournament team. If he were fired tomorrow, it would be hard to look back and say, "We had a good coach in Rick Stansbury." History will be kind to him, yet I believe he will soon lead State to that so-far elusive Sweet 16 appearance.

And before anyone accuses me of being a Miss State homer, I am a true orange and blue Gator man. I just respect the job he's done. Consistently good.

State beat the Rotterdam All-Stars 90-75 today.

Dee Bost had 15, Arnett Moultrie and Jalen Steele had 14 each. Wendell Lewis had 12 points, Rodney Hood 11, and Deville Smith 10.

Deville and Rodney are going to be two of the top freshmen in the SEC this year.

And I'm going to counter that accusation by citing an NCAA Tourney appearance every other year, a 272-151 overall record, and the all-time record for wins by a coach at MSU. That's pretty good. We're not talking about Kentucky, here.

And also, I have to accuse you of being pretty unimaginative and lame for that weak, weak "comeback", or whatever you were aiming for.

Ahh, ignore that guy. He was a Goddfried lover... so of course he hates Stans.

I think this European trip is GREAT for our freshmen.

Congrats on making the big dance and winning the west. How about you make it past the first weekend once and I'll say he doesn't underachieve with the large amount of talent he has year in and out. Stans isn't a good coach and won't be remembered outside of MSU. No amount of sugar coating can make Stans out to being a competent coach.

We always hear all of this talent. Name a 1st or 2nd round draft pick that Stans has coached?

I'm not going to look that up but every year Stans has a top 20 recruiting class which means he's getting plenty of talent. Not being able to develo that talent into NBA caliber talent only helps prove my point that Stans is good. Thanks for the help with that

I think scouts can see when or if a kid has NBA talent. THis upcoming season (should) be the most talented team in his tenure. I won't make anymore excuses for him after this year.
