We're a far cry from anything successful right now. We are consistent.....consistently terrible. Ray is going to have to build the program back up like Richard Williams (with Stans), and that's with MS kids or others from the immediate area.

Attitude and controversy defined those teams you listed. That's why we came up short repeatedly during those years. We need guys who want to play for Mississippi State, and those guys are the ones who already have ties to here, or are so underrated that they have a chip on their shoulder. We aren't getting any 5 star guys anytime soon unless they come from MS. All our moron fans will probably judge Ray on that as if he has a choice in the matter.

So we need guys who are high quality talents and who want to play for MSU because they are Mississippi kids. Did you go to the 17ing Ron Polk school of recruiting?

Ah now, Ray shouldn't have a problem with me.....

one day, when all you guys turn on Ray and say he sucks and can't coach a lick, he will understand.

I can't believe in the talk of MS players on Tournament teams nobody mentioned Clinton native Ontario Harper and Prentiss native Michael Gholar. Both were key players on the 2002 and 2003 teams.

Lincoln Smith from Hollandale was a role player on the 2002-2003 teams as well.

We have always had a couple of Mississippi kids on our rosters.

Coach34 also forgot to mention Romero Osby on the 2008-09 team and Dietrick Slater who was a key contributer from 2005-2007

As a Mississippi native who played HS basketball here I tend to keep up with our guys from Mississippi more.

Personally, 17 Hood. I hope he blows you off on that question if you ask it. Why go back and bring up that fiasco? Daddy wanted money and Ray was no Stansbury when it came to padding the pocket. He would have wound up being a problem like Sidney before it was over with so let it go.

Come again?
This is the first i have read such a story.

I do love watching adults turn to piles of crying goo over **** like this. The emotional rollercoaster you live on must get dizzying.
