Macie Phifer entered the portal. Will we get our first white girl on the team?

Small school superstars are fun. I think she was Miss Basketball, Miss Volleyball and all-state in softball.

I watched the championship game a couple years ago when she was at Ingomar. Didn't realize she was that tall.

We played MTSU this season and she had 13 points and 9 boards.

btw, not that it matters, but we have a white guard signed from Alabama.

I doubt we do. Neither our girl’s or guy’s basketball teams have a single white player. That’s a shame. Macie’s coach is retiring. Using the portal would be a great opportunity to redo our roster and establish a more welcoming culture to include white players. Not only for the girl’s but the guys too. Macie and the white girl from Tish county, Meg Moore, who will be an 11th grader next year, would be great to have together one day. Meg Moore is the best girl to come out of our state in a long time.

I am all for MSU teams being comprised of the best players we could land, regardless of skin color.
Merit over race. I cant believe I actually had to type that out in a response.

The Ingomar kids back in the late 70's/early 80's used to say that they learned basketball & played school. Their teams (boys & girls) were always so fundamentally sound. MSU basketball could use a little of that.

You don't want our women's teams to focus on attractiveness at all?** At least for the benefit of the student fans?

"Where da whyte wimmin at?"

But can we let the dittoheads talk MSU football for a minute - which is the only sport that matters:

"I think what we got here is a social concern. SPS is very desirous that a white quarterback to well. But it's gotta be a world class white guy - not the Will Rogers/Nick Fitzgerald type white quarterback guy."

Let's take a poll:

Would you rather have a women's basketball team full of talented white women or talented white quarterback leading the football team.

That's cool. I actually watched an interview with Lani and her mom after she committed last year. Her mom was their coach. Both mom and daughters seem very driven and competitive. Mom made that school a State contender very quickly. Hope they're athletic enough for the SEC. Should have all the other tools.

That said, if Sam doesn't find a quality big and a quality PG, I don't think it matters much.

Why type something that's wrong when it would take you 2 minutes to search and find that we had a white girl committed and a white guy played for us this season?

I'm so glad your going down this road so it's more obvious how wrong and kinda just plain weird you are.

Being more concerned about having certain races instead of just wanting the best player possible sounds a lot like DEI. Pretty obvious you are much more left leaning than I gave you credit for. My bad on that.

Give me an all white women’s team since I’m a white guy and hey, I like white women enough to marry one. I’m not attracted to men, so who cares what our QB looks like. I’ll take one black as night or white as snow if he can ball out.

Did you bring this up just so you could talk about race? I’m surprised you aren’t mad at WBB since it loses money.

I could care less about having a white player, but we need to rent a plane and scour Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, putting every 6 ft 9 in + male beyond the 3 point to see if he can sink a basket consistently. If so, heard him onto the plane and bring him back to Starkvegas, if he can hit the three, we can teach him everything else (catch the ball, strand in front of the basket with hands up, etc.).

I don't know the female equivalent to a 6'9" male, but look for her on the same trip.

The foreign white guy just entered the portal- so I don’t consider him on the team anymore. The girl is committed but she’s not on the team yet.

We didn’t recruit Macie. Your assumption is actually the opposite.

This is a good start. Maybe he’s trying to change the culture to land Meg Moore. I’ll tell this much for sure- Caroline Bradley had Ole Miss in her top 10, and then marked them off because of the culture- non-white and lesbian.

I doubt this person actually has a problem with "non-white and lesbian" culture or she wouldn't be looking to play college basketball in the first place.

The issue isn’t whether the player has a “problem with non white and lesbian culture.” The issue is that some women’s basketball programs have developed a very specific team culture that is overwhelmingly lesbian, and that culture can be openly unwelcoming- or at least uncomfortable to straight/heterosexual players. This isn’t speculation. Players in the past have ruled out certain programs because they didn’t want to walk into a locker room where they felt like the odd one out- or where the social dynamic was clearly centered around lesbian relationships and identity. It becomes a real recruiting disadvantage when a top heterosexual talent looks at the roster, the coaching staff dynamics, and the off court culture and decides- “I don’t want to deal with that for four years.” Same goes to a degree if all one race as well. Then it’s even worse when it’s all one race plus lesbian culture as well.
Men’s sports don’t have this particular dynamic to the same degree to have to deal with.

Do you take the same position on enrollment and scholarship opportunities?
