You've got to think,

that if our guys can gel early on, we are easily one of the top 5 talented teams in the league, if not top 3.

Xavian Stapleton will be good too. Bob said on the B&B show today that he was already a leader. He sat out last year being a transfer. Hes either a sophmore or junior. Someone can clarify.

Think he is listed as a Transfer, red-shirt SO, meaning that he will have 3 to play 3. Really hope he can come back from his injuries. Last I heard is that he could play in ~Jan as long as his rehab is on schedule.

Anybody got the stats from the 4 overseas games? Would be interested to see .. minutes played, shooting %, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks .. etc.

Many thanks!

Hard to disagree with you.

For some perspective:

In recruiting, this upcoming team outranked the recruiting classes of UCLA, UNC, Kansas, Indiana, Gonzaga and Marquette just to name a few.

Our team turned down offers from:

Eli Wright: Florida, UConn, Indiana, Pitt, Miami, Purdue, etc.

Schnider Herard: Arizona, Kansas, Cal, UConn, Indiana, etc.

Mario Kegler: Indiana, UConn, Villanova, Maryland, Arizona, Oklahoma, Texas, USCw, etc.

Lamar Peters: Gonzaga, LSU, etc.

Tyson Carter: Indiana, Miami, Memphis, N.C. State, Baylor, etc.

Abdul Ado: Memphis, Oregon, LSU, etc.

When you consider this caliber of talent (and Q of course) along with Howland's coaching ability, it's hard to predict the ceiling for this team.

Just really lucky we didn't have to go 'head to head' against AK and the grove!**

This team seemed to have an "it" factor that we haven't had in a long time while watching the overseas trip. Pretty scary watching a bunch of freshmen who walked in the door knowing how to win -- instead of trying to project it through maturity of seniors that never actually arrived.

Apparently so.

I'm with you, I think it's ridiculous.

Someone asked him on twitter and he (Ellis) practically laughed at them, as if it was some preposterous request.

I bet someone kept track of the stats and they just don't want to make it public. The whole trip was pretty strange. Very little on the Internet about the schedule or the teams we were playing, and just bare bones reporting of the results of the games. Almost like these were closed door practice games.

Yea, after three years of atrocious, throw something up in the direction of the goal, turnover clinic .. 'so called' basketball under Ray .. who would even think to get somewhat excited about MSU basketball and would really like MORE information on the new guys coming in and the upcoming season?**

Obviously a team

official (statistician) kept up with it, but for whatever reason, they don't want to release the info.

I think a lot of that is terror/riot-related. Been that way for a couple of years now since ?georgetown? had the huge altercation overseas.

I think you're right about that. Didn't know Georgetown had problems in the past. But not surprised.
