Did you really accuse fans of turning their backs on you when you need them? What about when your team needed you after your first second third suspension? You showed up fat and out of shape. What about when your team needed you in Hawaii? You got in a fight on national tv. What about when your team has needed you since? You show up about 40% of the time on offense and 10% of the time on defense.
How can you accuse fans of turning their backs on this team when your actions repeatedly show that you really don't care about the team either. I saw some play's where you really hustled tonight. You hit the floor at least 4 times and that really impressed me. But I also saw you take plays off on offense and not play any sort of help defense. Your are a LOAD in the paint; but why don't you rebound? I know fat men can do it well, I watched Oliver Miller and Glen Davis do so. I promise that if you start showing some heart out there on the floor, the fans will reciprocate (that means show you love in return).
It's not too late for you to get in game shape to make a run in the SEC tourney. You don't have to be all world on defense, just stay in between your man and the basket and play help defense.
There has never been a player with your talent level to wear a MSU uniform. We know you want to be in the league, but with your current attitude, conditioning, heart, defense, and rebounding, you aren't going to get there any time soon.
We've waited on you for a year and a half now, we really want to see you succeed. I still believe you can. Listen to your point guard. Emulate him on the court. Start getting some double doubles. I really hope you read this and take it to heart.
Ravern - Just quit now. Seriously, it's too late for you. Jalen wants and needs your minutes. I've seen countless screens ran for you that you just jog through. If you don't want to work to get a shot, it's your own damned fault. You've been missing most of your open ones lately anyway (Like every SEC season). You have no chance in the League and very little chance in Siberia. You are the worst defender and rebounder I have ever seen. The worst thing is, you don't even try.
Stans - Listen to your team. The transfers should have told you something. How about some variety on the offensive end. Teams have adapted to the double high pick & roll and the high low. Sure having Kodi help on the big man worked the first and second games you did it. Because of that, woudln't you expect a competent coach to gameplan for that. Once you saw that Grant had, why keep doing it? Why not double with Riley or Ravern? Jalen? Please remove Ravern from the team yesterday. Show the other players you still have a sack. Come up with some variety on offense.If you can't come up with it on your own, get some help.
