Miss State and Adidas

[Dawgcap]

I heard on the radio today that Mississippi is concerned with our relationship with Adidas in basketball, think Ben Garrett mentioned it. Isn't it funny that their recruiting has been amazing lately?? Kinda like baseball,I wonder if their booster money hasn't changed away from football and they are gonna talk about the sports they are really interested in. ??

 

[tatedog]

Spirit Ben should probably worry less about our relationship with Adidas and more about Ole Miss' upcoming relationship with a broom handle.

 

[ArcherSPS]

Well Ben's stupid 17ing *** should worrry about the relationship between his own school and the NCAA.

Oh that is gonna be bad but my thoughts are they have changed their cheating to 2 new sports. Mainly basketball and baseball. Their recruiting has been good in both and I just wonder if they are gonna in their minds compete with U.K. In basketball and LSU and State in baseball. Change in funding maybe??

 

[57stratdawg]

Ha. They f*cking should be.

 

[Dawgcap]

I agree but men's basketball and baseball aren't in the investigation. I just see a shift in their booster money and pride in sports! May be wrong but crooks get caught in one area they make profits somewhere else. My thoughts

I don't see anything in their recruiting in either basketball or baseball that indicates excessive cheating. Bianco and Kennedy have both done excellent jobs in light of what they took over. There was zero explanation for Ole Miss' sudden burst onto the national recruiting stage in football. None. Does this mean they aren't cheating all over the place? Certainly not, but probably no more so than everyone else.

Ben Garrett of all people. That's quite funny. Perhaps he should stick to trying to spin whatever the Ole Miss athletic department wants them to put out there to calm the masses.

 

[Dawgcap]

May not be but they bring all their immediate needs in basketball and baseball has recruited really well. I just have to wonder if the money isn't chasing new sports

They should worry about every Adidas Power 5

I may be off 1 either way lilt but Adidas has like 8 P5 schools all of them are have been in the top 25 in recruiting the last two years.

Regardless, for all practical purposes, if your are Adidas P5, you are hoops top 25 recruiting.

I think it's a lot less noticeable than Freeze but Bianca and Kennedy are in 2 Laporte not bein investigated and all of a sudden their recruiting has got a bit better. May not be as noticeable as Freeze but I just wonder about a shift in priorities. My thoughts.

 

[57stratdawg]

Bianco's recruiting hasn't really been all that great until this 2016 class.

 

[ArcherSPS]

I find it hilarious that you dumb17 Rebels come to this board to troll after getting your asses swept. Enjoy the fact that you will never be considered even in the same universe as big brother.

I totally agree but my point is that they recruited every need they had immediately. Is it great recruiting or have they shifted focus from football to basketball. They could be mighty good next year and it's goin under the radar

 

[Shamoan]

But what is excessive cheating? They have been busted in 3 sports, 2 of which were women's sports. I think it's safe to assume they are doing it elsewhere in sports that fall between the two in a level of importance and in ways we have seen already.

Who the 17 listens to Ben garrett?

 

[HD6]

Spoke to Ben, he said that he told Matt on H2H that MSU has dominated in-state recruiting forever in basketball, and that it was something Ole Miss wanted to change. Said Adidas gives us an advantage, but didn't imply or say anything that could be construed as negative.

In other words, this is a really poor attempt at a troll that a lot of you bit on.

 

[MaroonNation]

Of course he's a troll. Who would listen to Ben Garrett then come to a MSU board and talk about it. Especially since he said over and over that Bianca and Kennedy's crootin is lights-out.

 

[Dawgcap]

I didn't say what he implied ,I just raised a question about what he said. My point was that I think they are bothered by our adidas connection. I just wondered if they were changing their recruiting advantages elsewhere.

Yup they have changed their ways to focus on basketball recruiting and will be the next Duke. You don't have to ask anymore.

Adidas is The Brand now.... Nike is the Clarion Ledger and the 60 year old with ED brand.

 

[patdog]

They're not cheating in baseball. Bianco's just a good coach and we let him get an easy foothold into Mississippi when Polk II abdicated our long-time position of being the dominant program in the state. And if they're cheating in basketball, they're not doing a very good job of it at all.

 

[BiscuitEater]

I do know for a fact that OM baseball was cheating big-time back in the late '60s and early '70s. Jake Gibbs won the SEC in ~'72, went to the CWS and was caught giving swimming scholarships to baseball players.

No, they didn't have a 'swim team.' Don't recall the penalties and you won't find it mentioned in any OM Media Guide. Below is a photo of baseball players standing in the campus pool from the Ole Miss Year Book .. making a total joke of their cheating.

And we're all thankful that you didn't bite on it, for there would be nothing left for us.
