MSU getting coach Ben Howland won't affect his decision at all. During sideline interview of McDonald's All american game.

Hopefully that's because he was already coming to MSU. Def seems like a bucket of water on the Fire though.

 

[Hammer Down]

Dang, he really is coming to MSU. Officially starting to get my hopes up.

 

[whosyourdawgy]

Have yall been listening to him at all? He never ever gives any hints about where he may go. And he wasn't about to say something tonight. On the positive side. He was asked 2 questions and both dealt with us

 

[MSUDawg25]

He was pretty coy about it. Definitely gave the impression that it was "I'm not telling you 17ers ****" rather than "I was never considering them anyway."

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

The question was really about whether his dad playing at State would affect his decision. Jay Williams threw in "new coach Ben Howland" but you definitely can't single out that he was ONLY talking about Howland. He was talking about Horatio.

 

[57stratdawg]

I think they got excited about he Howland hire, and are now back to playing hardball.

 

[MSUDawg25]

All I heard was the guy ask him if he was the best guard to come out of Jackson, MS with guys like Monta and he said "yeah". Then they asked if the hiring of Coach Howland at MSU would affect his decision and he said "Not really. Not at all." If they mentioned Horatio in that interview I missed it.

No doubt he's not going to tell anyone where he's going. He may not even know himself. I think reading anything into what he says is a waste of time. When he signs, we'll know. Until then, no one will have a clue.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

The question was something like "so obviously your dad played at Mississippi State, who has a new coach in Ben Howland, does that have any impact on your decision?"

 

[MSUDawg25]

Ah, ok.

It's about the 3rd time he's said that in interviews in the past week. Story hasn't changed. Nothing to see here.

 

[paindonthurt_]

I fully expected him to say "now that Rick Ray is gone and they have a great coach, I'm really taking a closer look at them"

 

[Miss.Stake]

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm, but you obviously haven't kept up to date with Maliks recruitment. He says nothing and gives no hints when it comes to where he leans.

 

[BearcatBully]

What is the signing date for basketball anyway?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

"when ray was gone, i was gone too. i loved that velour jacket"

 

[amcdan2000]

Thought he had decided LSU

 

[paindonthurt_]

It was sarcasm. Of course he isn't going to say that.

You didn't fall for the corndog/mustard joke did you?
