The little video that I've seen of this guy really impressed me and would be an impact player from day one.

He would be a great addition and an BIG inside threat for Deville to pass to.. Imagine if The Renardo Sidney Show stays around for another year playing along side Moultrie..

And say that we are already sick of hearing your RENARDO SIDNEY SHOW comments fishwater.

In regards to Moultrie, I really think that we get this kid, and more than likely he was the tall recruit on campus yesterday IMO.

Could you imagine those two playing together. Also, there'd be no more four guard offense. If Stansbury can't land this guy or have a good '11 class, he'll be outta here.

Stansbury for all his faults our coaching staff has, damn they work hard at getting our name out there when a player becomes available. It ain't luck when these things happen with such regularity. Some pan out (ie Power,Roberts,hopefully this kid we justtook away from Auburn). Some don't (ie Brian Johnson, maybe John Riek).

But as someone said yesterday - what are the odds that he just works out for a year and then declares for the draft? Meaning he never wears a MSU jersey in a real game.

I haven't heard anyone say that, but I certainly could have missed it. It was my understanding that he'd transfer - sit out a year - then play a year - THEN go pro.

How did this dude end up at UTEP in the first place?

because Calipari didn't recruit much locally. He wasn't good enough for Calipari, but he was good enough for Calipari's boy Tony Barbee, who is now at Auburn. I don't know if there's any other reasons he didn't go to a school in a major conference, but I guarantee you the Calipari-Barbee relationship had something to do with it.

He's going to improve his stock by playing, not sitting out. If he is going to go to the NBA next year, then stick it out at UTEP for another year. If he transfers and sits out, I don't see how he gains anything and would almost be forced to play a year.

He would give us a big man to add to the class of 2011, so we'd be okay even if we don't get O'Bryant or Adams. And a frontcourt of Moultrie and O'Bryant would be incredible.

/I assume that Sidney leaves after this year. I just don't see him staying around, even if he is a questionable first rounder.

its not the fact that LR transferred, teams get transfers all the time. Its the fact that Stansbury got Roberts when he absolutely needed him the most.

There is no NCAA Tourney in 2004 and 2005 without LR. We were not going to make it with Campbell and Morgan as our post players.
Its the fact that he got Roberts due to the insane situation that took place at Baylor
Its the fact that LR, instead of having to sit out like all other transfers, got immediate clearance to play and eligibility

And this is just one example of the "luck"

all the players he signed but that went pro? If in fact they had played here then he could have had more NCAA appearances and gone deeper in the tourney. You make excuses as to how he backed into the NCAA tourney by winning the SEC title and having Roberts fall into his lap yet you give no consideration for what he could have done if he had the players that went pro (or even were forced to sit out like Sidney). Why is that?

There's no reasoning with Coach34. He will take every illogical and/or hypocritical approach to show Stans in the worst light possible. We could win the national championship and he would chalk it up to luck or a fluke, and keep calling for his head.

Just b/c we have Outlaw, Bender, or Ellis doesn't mean Stans makes his Sweet 16. We will have The Renardo Sidney Show next year, so using your logic we are a lock to make the Elite 8.

But I will point out the obvious anyway. Do you think we are the only school in the country that is interested in this guy? How about Roberts? Our coaching staff outworks most coaches to get these kind of players to MSU. It isn't luck. This is my biggest fear with getting a new coach at MSU. Can they bring in talent like Stansbury does? We can't straight up out recruit Duke or Texas but we can be all over the kids that fall through cracks or come available through transfers. As we are seeing with Cohen, it does not matter how good a coach you are if you have no talent.

Lets face it. Top recruits are not and will never line up to come to Mississippi State. However, when a kid that can play gets ready to transfer, Stansbury is on it. We may or may not get this kid but at least our name is out there.

Ellis and Outlaw had no intention what-so-ever of stepping a foot on campus...as to the other ones, I dont know about. But that was a normal occurance in college basketball- all those guys usually signed with some college before getting in the draft. The LR situation was in no way normal. How Stansbury even got the heading coaching job wasnt normal to even use another example of his luck.

no unusual circumstances have come out as of yet on this guy...but Stansbury needs to rub his rabbit's foot again because come March, he will realize he will be coaching for his job in 2011-2012

Maybe Scott Stricklin's first Ninja moment occurred while at Baylorguiding Roberts and MSU together behind the scenes. I've never heard it discussed and doubt it ever would be admitted to if it wastrue, but having a contact close to the Baylor situation could have been helpful to Stansbury in that situation. I can see it happening somethinglike this. "Hey Rick, we're having to break up our program and all the kids are going to be transferring. We'vegot a potential NBA caliber PF/Con this team that has ties to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, you might want to take a look at him."Stansbury was an assistant on Richard Williams staff back when Stricklin was a student worker in the MSU Athletic Department so they definitely knew one another. The conversation could have even been funneled through his father in law - Bailey Howell.Not saying he's a Ninja, but if he pulled that off he has Ninja like capabilities.

Scott and Stans are buds for sure. Scott was a basketball manager under Dick while Stans was an assistant coach at MSU. So Stans had nothing to do with LR coming to MSU, it was all Stricklin.
