Gary Parrish talks Howland, Weatherspoon, etc. here: http://media.espn929.com/a/11666528...geoff-calkins-live-from-chicago-in-seg-1.htm?


Parrish can be a prick, but no one can deny his knowledge of college basketball... He is very high on where our program is headed.

Isn't he the same guy that roasted us for firing Ray? Talk about a hypocrite if so

He did keep saying, "I like Rick Ray... I like Rick Ray..."

He's high on MSU, AU, and TCU. But not Memphis, not yet.

It was nice to hear, if even just all of the obvious stuff....

I like the look of this very team. Next year's will be even better -- but I think this current one can be pretty special. We've got momentum breakersfor the first time in a long time.

I believe that was Jeff Goodman at ESPN. Parrish was basically "I hate it for Rick Ray, it wasn't very fair to him, but I understand why MSU did it."

At the end of the day, nobody is going to give two ***** about Rick Ray in a few years when Howland has us in the tourney on a regular basis.

We will see. The lack of experienced interior players scared me in terms of defense and rebounding, and there is very little depth down there as is. One thing I do know- if someone wants to beat us this year, they better be ready to score a bunch of points. We were middle of the pack scoring wise last year with a Rick Ray roster + a freshman Q Weatherspoon and hobbled Malik Newman playing out of position. The only player now left on campus that Ray ever coached is Ready- pretty much everyone else had several high level Indiana/Ohio State/Louisville type of offers.

NIT=successful season

You could feel the pain in Parrish's voice as he delivered the news to his Memphis/Ole Miss audience.

He can? I just say "he is". What's with his accent or is that a speech impediment?
