Bost's comments got me wondering who on this year's team would be most likely to transfer next year. At the moment it appears it's Dee but certainly emotions are running high at this point...not just because of Stansbury but his obvious frustration with Kodi. And that will probably change. But I was wondering who would be the most likely, if any, to transfer after this season.

I say no one goes byby this year. Well, Sidney is a given, unless he decides to stay another yearto improve his draft position next year. If he would only seek out my advice I'd tell him to stick around one more year (as if he would ever ask me anything - maybe what time is it?). I wonder what it would cost him at the end of his career to stay in Starkville another year?
get read by many and why would we be debating who is going to transfer? Let's get behind the team and get them to play better. Obviously, Kodi needs to play defense better and needs to be more of a team player. Dee Bost is also a very good player for his second year. He is going to be a great leader before he graduates from MSU.
This negative debate on who stays and goes is wasted energy by many.

None of our core guys are leaving. Just because Bost gets pissed about something after a game does not mean the guy is going to transfer for Pete's sake.Besides, what would Bost possibly transfer for? More PT? More shots? Better team? A longer leash? Doubtful on all counts.
I would wait and see what happens with Sidney and on the off chance that he is actuallt declared eligible AND actually comes back next season- I know I'm pushing my luck there- I would ask Kodi to leave.
We have Romero Osby, who has been nothing but a team player, has shown that he can score and sits on the bench while Kodi acts like a whiney girl. Not to mention that Osby, Dee, and Renardo are all used to playing together.
That way we could have a lineup of:
1. Dee
2. Phil
3. Ravern
4. Romero
5. Sidney- I know, yeah right.
Then maybe we can find a sixth man amongst the Brian Bryant's, Shaun Smith's, Tranny Beckham, or Benock.

sit him down and talk to him about his future at MSU. If Bost was mad after LSU, then RS should have been equally mad at Bost and himself after the Arky game for allowing Bost "go Gary Earvin" because Fortson was wearing his *** out in the second half. By the way, when has RS cared about one of his own transferring to another school much less another SEC school (Earvin-Arky). If the kid wants to transfer, he will release them. He's not going to hurt a kid's future for the sake of MSU basketball.

Obviously hypothetical, but I wouldnt have too much of a problem with this line up, just switch phil to the 3 and ravern to the 2. Also with that lineup i'd expect to be competing for the West again, i know some of you think that doesn't mean anything but we'd get some pub about it.
I think the problem is that basketball players and their overbearing fathers see that our "team" is not well coached. A bunch of internet superstars here on Sixpackspeak, and several of the coaches around the SEChave that about figured out as well.
Jamont simply ran wild because Stans couldn't implement an offense beyond Jamont creating and didn't give the poor Hans and Delks of the world an opportunity to shine....boo hoo. We wish we had Jamont back now don't we?
Dee gets mad because Coach won't find a strategy to punish opposing defenses for roughing him up. It just keeps happening; guess what...it should keep happening. Dee gets pissed, has turnovers or stupid fouls and Stans tells him to grow up or play smart? Whatever it was he said, Dee is thinking.....if you can't get Turner or Stewart in here to help dribble the ball up and get an easy layup and free me up to score, you aren't worth a 17 as a coach, but he can't say that to the media, he has to say, "Uh, I am mad."
Disclosure** I am one of the few people on here thatlikes Augustus**
Kodi runs free shooting whenever he feels like it, constantly running over people for stupid fouls, telling the coach that he and Daddy think he is a 17-tard, etc.... what is Stans going to do? Suspend him for a game? So what.
Stewart shoots like hell and has never, not once in 4 yrs and a world record # of MSU minutes played gone up strong for a layup. His 3 pt shooting has gotten worse every year and Turner wonders why he isn't playing in his place or Ravern's who doesn't play a lick of defense.
To review: No real teamwork or visible offensive strategy allows these players and their fathers to question the ability (and rightly so) of the man in charge, much like we all have been doing. Doubt in coaching ability leads to lack of respect, which leads to lots of these repeating ******** situations.
The answer to me is to hire a hatchet man Mother 17er of an assistant coach who is hell on offensive game plan strategy, implementation of said strategy, getting steroids to people like Jarvis, Ravern Barry and Phil, and in general *** kicking. Pay him whatever it takes, name him associate head coach. I say Stans has a relatively good thing going with a sold out hump, pretty good players, mild success, 6 SEC West Championships, just have the good sense to identify and bring in the person I have described. If not, get the hell out of the way.

better team on both ends of the court. Instead, we have RJ who is damn near one dimensional offensively, plays no defense, and Randy who plays good defense, can only hit jumpers, and cannot drive to the hoop because he has "white boy disease". Both are terrible ft shooters.
besides barry, he is by far our best defensive player away from the paint - he will get more p.t. next year just on that alone.
soph slump - you think you should be further along than you really are.<div>
</div><div>jamoney did it, timmy bowers did it to an extent, and zimmerman really did it - all of those guys came back much stronger the next year - Dee will as well, he just needs to calm down and be patient.</div><div>
</div><div>the delks, handsbrough, gary ervin all caved to the pressure, and I don't believe it did much for them other than get them a redshirt year.</div>

The dribbling Delk (1) or Hans could have certainly helped to break some of the pressure we have been seeing.
Barry is about as likely to go get the ball and bring it up the court against aggressive pressure as he is to throw down an authoritative two handed dunk.

I hope that Coach Stans has what it takes to relinquish some measure of control and allowan asskicker strategist assistant coachto be for him who he was for Richard Williams.
Someone suggested that Coach Kirby was paying attention more than usual at theLSU game? He damn well better because heshould be responsible for teaching some high school kids how to play next year.
The question is if Coach Stans will bow up on the Ninja when the fan is hit with ****?

unless I'm blind, nobody's been spouting the "Kodeeeeee...weee can't winnn without Kodeeeee" rhetoric like was done last year. If Bost has a problem with Kodi, pull Kodi's scholarship, Rick. Hell, pull it anyway. He can tell the seven people who care how talented he is while playing in front of 2000 people every night in the SWAC.
Hopefully some sucker would actually want Benock, and he does leave.
Bost is not going anywhere.
An outside chance on Kodi, but the rest stay put.
After all who would want to leave our such great traditions as: the non-motion offense which only gets better when we have a lead, swiss cheese zone defense, incredible inbound and set plays, a deadly full court press, and of course rick's rowdies.

but if he was the answer, that "situation" should be a non-issue. I mean if any you have an 18+ daughter that voluntarily drops her panties for a 40+ basketball coach, shouldn't you be focusing less on making sure the coach is fired and more on why the hell your daughter is slinging it to 40 year olds? </p>
have fun sitting out two years.My informationwas straight from the horse's mouth (i.e., 3rd hand), but it was from somebody in the athletic dep't, and I think it isgood.</p> ETA: As far as RS not losing his only true pg, when gary left, we were left with a short, slow, fat kid running the point. Which makes me think being the only true pg isn't going to affect whether Bost transfers, unless RS's nightmares from watching Edmunson run his team convinces him to offer every concession he can think of to convince Bost to stay, including making Kodi's scholarship contingent on Bost being allowed to kick him in the junk every morning when he wakes up to jump start his day.
The Delks wouldn't even be here had they not transfered. Theywould've graduated after last year. So, when you consider the playing time they would have stolen from other players last year, I think it's a reasonable assumption that we would be worse this year, not better.
And Ravern is not one dimensional offensively. He's quite good at cutting to the basket when he has an opening. He is also by far our best option to get the ball to when running a fast break.</p>

we have made ravern one dimensional but he can catch and shoot, he can pull up off the dribble and he has a really nice runner in the lane. He's our best offensive talent. Yes, he's weak, but he can put it in the basket.
Have him curl off some screens as a starter.

if you are going to chase down and scold every "negative" thread, then you will waste much more energy than the aggregate "wasted energies" of those posting the negative thread. </p>
The Maroons said:
All those other coaches in the SEC must be complete and total *** clowns to have lost so many games to a guy that can't teach offense, can't coach defense, can't run inbounds plays, can't press, and has a bunch of socially inept students for fans.
Also, other than passing up open shots, Benock has actually improved alot this year, especially on defense. There has been very little drop off when he comes in for Stewart.
but there is still no way under any circumstances in the game that I would rather have Benock playing. Yes he is good for getting Randy or anyone else a few minutes of rest and hits the occasional 3, but other than that he brings nothing to the table.
My statement about "Swiss Cheese" is a stretch, but that mostly comesfrom sitting in Tuscaloosa and watching them slash through our zone like we were some JV team. Rick has always been an excellent defensive coach, but when you are holding your opposition to 61 and over a three game span and only go 1-2 then there are offensive problems.</p>

playing defense, rebounding, cutting off of screens, and scoring. He's a bigger body than when at MSU, and he's a much more complete player than RJ. If RJ's not hitting the jumper, he very rarely goes to the basket. Now that being said, he should take it to the basket at will because he can jump out of the gym, but he is so damn skinny he can get pushed around by a bigger, stronger defender.
