Is that guy we would go after and would fit?

That's a guy the whole country would go after and make fit. #22 player in the country and a composite 5* power forward that was projected as Memphis' best returning player.

Swan song for Pastner IMO...

Yep. Partner has gone full Stansbury mode. The question is whether or not Memphis will hold onto him as long as we did.

There were rumors of him being on MSU's campus shortly after Howland was hired. Don't think we will be in the game for him though.

Supposedly he has some friends that go to State and has spent a lot of time on campus. I'd love to see us make room for him if he wants to come.

That's right. I think it's a girlfriend. We don't have a scholarship at this point, but I suppose there are ways to open one up.

Thusfar he's blocked nationally by Memphis, largely over anger of when the transfer was announced. So, unless something changes, he'll be on his own dime for next season regardless. We'll have plenty of room for a 5* power forward in next year's class...

I don't get the Stans comparison. They are nothing alike.

Stans let the inmates run the asylum. Pastner is a control freak. He suspended a player for cussing on the bench.

Maybe they are alike in that they have a hard time teaching basketball skills.

But Pastner better make the NCAA tourney this year or he will be gone.

Costantly underachieving, top flight players transferring, top tier recruits, never making the tournament.
