Also, 4* LeAntwan Luckett of Ridgeland is a strong MSU lean. If we add Luckett and Adams, it's a top 3 or 4 class in America.

I think we wanted the smoke to clear before taking a commitment from him. I know that Cunningham has been recruiting him pretty hard. I also believe that his coach is a big MSU fan. That can't hurt our chances. I would love to have him. He's a bench guy that has a good motor. He reminds me of a Markell Patterson.

I think Adams might be next. Now if we have another scholly it goes to Luckett. I wonder who the transfer will be after this season or semester.

But I have heard that Rivals.com does a better job scouting AAU and high school basketball than Scout does. They get a better read on guys. I would say the same if Scout has our class ranked higher than Rivals. Also, Scout.com has MSU's football class ranked higher than Rivals.

Rivals > Scout .

And how many schollies do we have for this year? We'll be losing Ravern, Kodi, and Benock. Are all three scholarship players?Probably lose Renardo Sydney too. And is Moultrie on scholly this year? Or is that another personthat another addition against our scholarship limit next year?

Not saying that we won't, but it looks like less of a chance now. If we miss on Adams, then he'll be our backup plan.

We're losing: (as you said)

Augustus
Benock
Ravern
Sidney (most likely)

4 scholarships to give.
I believe Moultrie is on scholarship this year. Could be wrong on that.
Edited to add: You never know what will happen with Riek. I think this year will determine what direction the staff goes with him. If he can develop into a contributor off the bench, then he will stay. If he is still struggling learning where the weight room is and how to run a set play, than his scholarship may open up. As Stansbury says, "things have a way of working out."
