Bulldog Basketball 2017-2018

[Dawgs'n'Grizz]

It's been over a week since State's last game and I am excited to finish out non-conference play and get conference play started. That being said, I can't help but keep thinking about what this team is going to look like next year. Assuming everyone stays, we're looking at:

Potential Starters:
Guards/Wings: Lamar Peters, Nick Weatherspoon, Q
Bigs: Aric Holman, Mario Kegler

Bench:
Guards: Tyson Carter, Eli Wright, Stapleton
Bigs: Herard, Garrison Brooks, Abdul Ado, & Datcher

*Maybe switch between Peters & Carter if Nick ends up playing more at the point

Howland has won a conference title in his 3rd year at Northern Arizona, Pitt, & UCLA. This squad certainly looks like it will continue Howland's trend with the talent and experience it will have.

Looking at it from a year out, it certainly looks promising, but Kentucky will be the favorite in the sec and they should be

I was looking at it

today, and given that we don't have any transfers, we should be real dirty.

I had Q and Lamar on the wing w Nick at point, and Aric and Kegler low, Ado/Herard/Brooks/Feazell backing them up is our best lineup in a looooooong time.

Nick is the real deal. Watch his videos. He's going to be the best pg we've ever had when it's over. He is so explosive to the hole, like Westbrook. That's going to give Q and Lamar a ton of open looks.

I've been missing some Bulldog basketball too!!!

I hope Q doesn't bounce for the NBA.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Does Q want to play with his brother bad enough to stay? He might be NBA ready.

 

[msstate7]

I've been missing some Bulldog basketball too!!!

I hope Q doesn't bounce for the NBA.

I think it's pretty safe assumption he plays with his brother next season

 

[KurtRambis4]

He'll be here, next year *

In one of our TV games, they had an interview with him and asked him what his favorite car was. He said Lamborghini. They asked when he thought he would buy one. He said in two years. I think he's planning on playing 1 year with his brother.

 

[Dawg1979]

a guy that works for me has a son that is buddies with Nick and Q. said they will be playing together next year. not to worry about that.

I've never seen an MSU lineup with more quality depth (on paper) than that. 1-13 next year will be the most talent we've ever had on one roster.

 

[fishwater99]

I have not been this excited about MSU basketball in a long time..

Hail State !!!!

 

[esplanade91]

PG: Peters, N. Weatherspoon, Carter
SG: Carter, N. Weatherspoon, Wright, Q. Weatherspoon
SF: Stapleton/Kegler, Q. Weatherspoon
PF: Holman, Kegler, Ado, Brooks
C: Herard, Holman, Datcher, Ado

Faezell probably redshirts. Could see Datcher leave if we get any interest from the transfer market.

 

[fishwater99]

I think Brooks will get significant PT too.. You left off Feazell(will he RS).

Then Robert Woodard coming in the next year, followed by DJ Jefferies and another Weatherspoon, Brandon.

The Future is bright with Howland at the Helm..

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

PG: Peters, N. Weatherspoon, Carter
SG: Carter, N. Weatherspoon, Wright, Q. Weatherspoon
SF: Stapleton/Kegler, Q. Weatherspoon
PF: Holman, Kegler, Ado, Brooks
C: Herard, Holman, Datcher, Ado

Faezell probably redshirts. Could see Datcher leave if we get any interest from the transfer market.

So you really don't think Q Weatherspoon is going to start next year?? LOL.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

The amount of young talent we have now really gets me excited. I'm glad Q is playing again... He is the backbone of this team right now.

Gonna be fun.

 

[Palos verdes]

It feels like it's been 3 weeks since we last played.

While that is awesome I am still excited about this year. I am planning two trips up for basketball games and I have not done that since Stansbury years
