SEC West basketball outlook for 2012

[Coach34]

Since so many of The Recruiter's supporters think "next year" will be his year as usual, I decided to take a quick look at next season's SEC- the West in particular

1. Bammer- returns 3 starters- who happen to be their top 3 scorers- add in the 17th ranked recruiting class in the country
2. State- returns 2 starters- but will Sidney leave? projected in Round 2 of some mock drafts. 14th ranked recruiting class coming in.
3. UPig- returns 4 of 5 leading scorers, bringing in the 5th ranked recruiting class in the country (rumors circulating a new coach could be brought in too)
4. LSU- returns entire team, plus McD's AA Johnny O'Bryant
5. Mississippi- loses starting guards, but bringing in a 4-starshooting guard(Kennedy keeps this team mediocre at worst)
6. Aubarn- bringing in the 29th ranked recruiting class- will field a full team in 2012.

At first glance, the SEC West looks to be alot better in 2012.

is also that their class addresses their main weakness. They are bringing in two outstanding outside shooters. They will be a much better team next year. Our recruiting class does not address out weakness down low as we are bringing in only guards.

 

[Lawson36]

You mean 6'6" guard Jelan Kendrick.

 

[K9 Avenger]

Moultrie, who's had to sit out this year. He's pretty highly regarded. If I'm not mistaken, he was projected as an NBA Draft pick after his year at UTEP.

not sure hy I thought their transfer was a big man

at the time of his transfer from UTEP. Shirley he's bulked up some but with our S&C program who's to say...

[Coach34]

justlast night he was weighing about 240....

My wife watches the show with the Khardasian whores, and he was discussing his weight for some reason

6'11-225 just seems skinny- especially if you have to guard people in the paint

 

[RebelBruiser]

You mean 6'6" guard Jelan Kendrick.

I give him no better than a 50/50 chance of making it all the way to 2nd semester to see the court.

I'm sure Kennedy will put an NIT caliber product on the floor though. If there is one thing he's good at, it's building the NIT resume.

I saw Moultrie play in a couple of preseason scrimmages and he is in no way "Ravern Skinny". He certainly is not a big bruiser but a stick he ain't. His game reminded me of a taller Charles Rhodes.
A frontcourt of Moultrie, Hood, and a remotely in shape Sidney would be pretty stout unless Rick gets a lead in the first minute and goes to a stall for the final 39 minutes.

 

[Coach34]

He's not interested in a degree- he is a probable 2nd round pick...he obviously isnt all that happy

a little premature to think he will return right now

 

[Hanmudog]

Honestly ? No. I don't thinkSidney comes back but I am hoping that Bost will come back and talk Sidney into comingalong with him. If Bost and Sidney both leave then you can just pencil us into last place for next year.

 

[hatfieldms]

And if he has a chance to come back and work his way into guaranteed first round money, I would think he would. Though I really dont care if he does or not

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Sidney told me he and Bost will return next season. Take it for what it's worth. If he has a brain he'll come back.

 

[Coach34]

and he is an idiot- so you just never know. </p>
