Predictions

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I'll give it to ya KR, you're diehard. Wish we had fans more like you. Just hard to get behind the team with so many losses for so long.

Hopefully this is the last year of losing.

Give Em hell KR4!
i agree w/ msubdf1, I wish not only that we had more fans like you but also a few more players with that much passion. I care about MSU BB more than most (not hard to do the last few years) and I (ever the optimist) believe we will be a top tier team next year. A lot coming back, a lot of problems will be fixed and one of the best HC in the country. Hail State!

Yea we'll be really deep next year too. We'll have 5 legit options in the post, and we'll be more experienced at guard.
This assuming we don't have transfers. I don't think we will because the rumor mil has been too quiet.

Yeah, I missed that one, thank goodness.

But I'm not.

Look these last few weeks have been dissapointing, no doubt, but people acted like we were playing Belhaven, aND getting blown out! The reality was we were playing multiple tournament teams mixed in with a couple of away games against top teams in our league, and blowing late leads. If that's not indicative of a young team late in the year, I don't know what is. Then, when you point that out, people were saying "bbbut there are teams ALL over the league in our situation (youth) that are succeeding!!!" That's 110% ********. When called on it, they'd miraculously disappear. Auburn is the only team in the league w a comparable situation, and look where they are (anyone that brings up Kentucky is automatically labeled dumb).

Again, I hate us losing as much as anyone, but I'm going to be real about the situation and recognize we have the talent to build on, and are bringing in more. However, this ******** that people spew about "herlundz caint curch!!1" or saying teams all over the league are succeeding with freshmans throughout the starting 5 is just that, ********. I get sick of hearing people make **** up and preach as if it were the gospel. In short, I hate dumb people.

This wasn't directed at you, because you've got sense, just my annoyance in a few here.

Great post. Would have been perfect if you had said Coach H needs to yell more.*

The Kentucky comparison is what kills me. Here's as far as the comparison goes - Kentucky and MSU signed top 10 classes. To compare our players though is dumb af. UKs signing classes usually consist of all 5* guys who are ranked higher than our highest rated guy. These are NBA ready talents while none of our guys are close to NBA ready and the majority will be here long enough to graduate. 60 people get drafted every year. That's 4500+ players just from D1 schools PLUS foreign players to choose from. All those players are vying for 60 draft slots. Over the last 5 years UK has had 19 players selected. So in the last 5 years the NBA has consisted of 15.8% of its selections being from UK while MSU has had a whopping 0%. (These stats obviously don't include last years signees). During that same time span MSU has signed 25 players to LOIs. UK has had nearly as many players drafted that we just signed to play basketball. Over that same time span UK has signed 27 players to LOIs. 19 drafted, 27 signed. Using those stats you have a 70% chance of being drafted by signing with UK where the rest of the entire world has a less than < .03%. So, to say that we should be compare to UK in recruiting is irresponsible and idiotic.
