Interesting basketball visitor this weekend

[MSUDC11]

Dewan Huell, a 5-star PF from Miami. It was previously thought he would be choosing between FSU and The U.

This tells me that Davis is going to IU. But goodness, Plan B is an even more highly touted guy.

If Howland pulls this off, good grief...

 

[BiscuitEater]

The 24/7 site shows that Huell has 10+ offers .. none of which is Mississippi State. That is interesting. CB is mostly FSU with a few to Miami .. in his home town.

We're just keeping him warm as a backup in case we miss on one of our top targets*******

It appears Howland is the Hugh Freeze of SEC basketball recruiting. Gotta give yall credit; this basketball class haul is quite impressive.

Howland = Skreet cred
Freeze = Preach cred

Yes he does. It is also kind of crazy to think you went from hiring an assistant coach from a program not known for basketball success to hiring a proven, highly successful former head coach. Funny how things work out sometimes. I hated hearing about the Howland hire, personally. He will get yall back on track ASAP, I fear.

Do you think Kennedy will make it two more seasons?

 

[aTotal360]

The stars aligned the second time around. He was looking and we was looking.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Lets compare

Howland: 21 NBA players, 3 Final Fours, etc ...
Freeze: Women's high school basketball, and Arkansas State..Yea I would call that equal....

 

[dawgstudent]

Explain how that is crazy. We hired a coach - who had an abundance of success but had been out of coaching for 2 years and was itching to get back into it.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

For a moment I thought you were referring to Jackie Sherrill...

 

[dawgstudent]

Honestly - it's the same thing without the ncaa baggage.

Adidas. We owe it all to Adidas

Comparing Ben Howland to Hugh Freeze is like comparing the Ford F-150 to the GMC Syclone.

Thanks Addidas.

We are battling two Nike schools for this guy. That's interesting

**just found out Miami was Adidas now

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

I was thinking more like this:

 

[Bulldogg31]

Thank you Adidas. Thank you Adidas. Thanks you Adidas.

Except for the bats. Those sucked.

But again, thank you Adidas.

 

[BiscuitEater]

Check again brother!

It's there now .. but wasn't when I posted. I checked under his offers and the MSU list of offers.

 

[os62]

Do you think Kennedy will make it two more seasons?

I don't. Kennedy is, by the numbers, the best coach in Ole Miss history....of course, that isn't saying much in the least bit. He is an above average coach. However, I think we've seen the best of his coaching at Ole Miss and will need a change. If Ole Miss doesn't capitalize on having a brand new, state of the art arena, we will be doomed in mediocrity for a while....again. I think Kennedy will have to step it up this year or he could be gone fairly quickly.

DS, i think the crazy part is simply just the timing of it all. Nothing more than that. Yall were in a great situation to get rid of Ray, Howland had been out for long enough to miss coaching and be ready to get back into it, and it was just a great fortune for MSU that the stars aligned. Those 2 things just happened to line up, and its an apparent homerun hire for MSU.

I have a hard time seeing AK make it much longer. I agree he is a good coach, but college basketball has changed so much over the last decade. 90% of recruiting is based on track record of getting players into the NBA. Howland has that, that's why recruiting has been successful so far(along with guaranteed playing time). You look at the national powers (Duke, UK, UNC, Kansas, Michigan State), and its extremely rare when a top 50 recruit makes it to see his junior year before he's gone to the NBA.

And whether it's fair or not, AK's fate will be tied to Howland's success. If Bjork pulls the plug, i can see him going after a Kenny Payne, someone who can get the StArZ. Personally I hope AK stays around Oxford a little while longer.

Except for the fact

that Howland has actually won something...and Howland was recruiting big time players when Rev. Freeze was calling the picket fence as a jr. high girls basketball coach.
