I talked to Sidney last night...

[TheStateUofMS]

He said he will be back for his junior season and then he is gone after that. He also said Dee Bost WILL be back next year because they are best friends and they think they can win back to back SEC Championships with this years team when they get back and then next year with Dee, Sidney, Moultrie, D. Smith, Hood, Gardner, and everybody else. Now if he's not bull shiting....that's a sick team. Easily the most talented team Stans has ever had:
Sidney
Bost
Moultrie
Deville Smith
Hood
Gardner
Steele
He also said he will play the 5 when he comes back and he's ready to get down low and dominate. We'll see...just thought I would pass this along....

that is one hell of a team. Too bad Stans will be coaching them.....(sigh)........

NBA is staring down the barrel of a lockout.

 

[38843dawg]

The reason I had it far-fetched of him coming back, is because he hasn't even played a minute of basketball for us yet. If he comes in and just blows up, he would be gone no doubt, but with all the talk of the NBA lockout then that may be a different story.

 

[maroonmania]

plus the rust of no competitive basketball for 2 years that he is not going to show out to the point that he will be a high first round pick at the end of the year and likely not first round at all. I think there is a greater than 50/50 shot he does come back for another year regardless of the NBA situation. Sidney and Moultrie together could be a great combination down low.

in 3 on 3........Moultrie, Sidney, Bost......one five star and two four star players riding the pine while we play pick-up games agaisnt YMCA level competition.

Like I wrote in another thread, had Sidney come in as a freshman and done well, he'd already be gone from MSU. Sure,we could have used him last year, but...

THIS way, we get him for two seasons (ok, 1.66 seasons), he's 1-2 years older, andhe's hadan extra year of practice/weights, etc.</p>

 

[CoastRat.sixpack]

will he be able to stand out on a Stans team. Stans has never shown an offense designed to feed the 5 man. It will be up to Sidney to rebound the missed 3 pointers and get some put backs down low. He may leave just because he is fed up, even without a spot in the NBA.

 

[tenureplan]

So do I

 

[o_riverdawg]

When we had good big men, we got the ball down low to them and ran the offense through them. See Mario Austin or Lawrence Roberts, and even Charles Rhodes. The last two years, we haven't had a good offensive inside game, so Rick adjusted the offense accordingly. Some of you are so short sighted it's rediculous.

 

[whatever.sixpack]

I wouldn't even say they're short sighted. Sometimes I wonder if people that make statements like that have ever seen an MSU basketball game prior to 2009. Shouldn't we make people that register to post on this board at least 10 years old? Either that or they just are too stupid to realize what they're watching</p>

 

[KurtRambis4]

You know that isn't true at all. We never utilized Tyrone Washington, Lawrence Roberts, or Mario Austin down low. When we had them we still just jacked up threes!!!1!
