Not trying to stir up the stench but I just cant think of any good reasons that a guy with the talent they have would realistically want to. Don't throw out the "he wants to be THE MAN" at me, they have the skills to be THE MAN on a talented team so why be THE MAN on one with no talent?

i never looked at it that way.

why would anyone want to ever play for MSU again. let's just shutter our program.

Hood did not stick it out another year and then go into the draft. He is projected to be a first rounder. He must really hate it at MSU to be willing to not play for an entire year.

If we do not get Pollard I honestly can't think of a reason I would want to watch our team at all next year.

It had a slight pulse, but after this Hood news, I just pulled the plug.

We will not win a conference game next season. Also, this falls in Stricklin's lap, since he allowed Stansbury to stick around and completely decimate the program. When you have someone working for you that is so incompetent and a complete 17-up and you are oblivious to it, then your head is jammed so far up your ***, you can barely get oxygen. And he allows the money sponge to stick around the damn program.

Ray may turn this program around quickly, but you should give him and the hire a chance before passing judgement.

well, he's definitely flunking right now. by not convincing hood to be a part of the rebuilding with a new direction for the program and more discipline and a lack of lockerroom cancers, and not convincing our current SIGNEES that the program is in good hands. as a HC, his job is to sell his vision of the program, and he's not doing that. and it ain't getting easier after next season.

We will see where Hood lands. But if Louisville is courting him, I Don't think there is anything Ray could have said or done.

Also, Hood is a Mississippi kid. Most kids in MS can't wait to get the hell out. Hell, look at the title line of this thread. I think that says a lot about the mindset of the fans of State and in the state of MS.

Did you not just post that the program was dead to you? I missed the sarcasterisks.

i can't bash a guy for wanting to get out of MS. i got out too and won't be moving back to MS or the south. it's just not for me. that said, i also didn't have scholarships from pretty much every school in the country when i was 18 and could pick anywhere i wanted to go. i find it hard to believe that in a year's time hood went from choosing msu over pretty much anywhere he could want to go to being soadamantabout leaving the state that he's willing to sit a year before playing somewhere else just for the sake of leaving MS.

I think it is obvious Hood has a scholarship offer from another program in a much better situation than State's. That is probably the real reason he is leaving. The loyalty comments is just to point out that it won't be a difficult situation for him to leave.

You got what you wanted. We got rid of stains. We hired a coach that knows about basketball. It's time for you to do your part, now. Before you come at me with the "stainsbury lover," let me remind you that I said the guy appeared burned out (two years ago), and that it was time for a change.

yeah but he's sitting out a year after being a projected as a potential 1st round NBA draft pick in 2013. if he balled next year he could go pro. instead he's gonna sit on the end of the bench somewhere and hope to get back on the radar in 2 years. that's a big gamble because you didn't like the guys on the team last year and/or had clashes with the old coach.
