If Newman signs, LSU would have a devastating press-trap-run-gun team next year.

Gotta wonder if Ben Howland regrets taking Mississippi State -- now that Arizona State popped open. Starkville or Tempe? LOL

Everyone should cancel their evening schedule and spend an hour watching MN documentary Beyond the game. It should be a prerequisite before posting on him.

He touches on so much. And his Dad a Moo State legacy is 100% okay with him leaving state.


Please watch tonight if you haven't already

Kids work ethic is only parallel to Antonio Blakney. He is driven and a killer. True leader. Very Discipline. Does Not surround himself with alot of people. Doesnt party he is focused. Doesn't get rattled maintains composure.

Definite one and done candidate.
Will play any where... said its about PT. Getting minutes.

LSUButt-It wasn't Howland that landed those guys at UCLA, it was the Asst. Coach McCray. McCray practically runs the most powerful AAU organization in the United States, (Atlanta Celtics). Howland would have the pick of the litter from that organization and then some.

He will probably bring McCray to Starkville with him. And if he does, watch the talent influx that will follow McCray.

If McCray is so great how come he got the boot at LSU?

lil tiger22-McCray is just a means to an end. He is what he is and that is the most influential person in the most powerful AAU basketball program in the United States.

Don't know what happenned with McCray and LSU but if you don't believe McCray has the capabilities to bring in Top Level talent, all I can say to you is sit back and watch. I would be willing to bet Howland first call was to McCray. Anyway we have our own super recruiter in David Patrick and just as Patrick has his Aussie connection, so does McCray.

Was Patrick on the staff at the same time McCray was? I can't remeber the timeline of coaches. I know we lost Robert Kirby to Memphis. Was that this post off-season in how we got Musselman or did Musselman take McCrays spot? I'm not doubting McCrays I'm simply asking the question because if I remeber correctly he was basically told to explore other options like what Miles does when assistants leave.

Didn't get the boot from LSU, but he was definitely underwhelming at LSU.

Yes he was told to explore other options, McCray left first, was replaced by Patrick, Kirby left, was replaced by Musselman. IIRC, McCray was the one that got Quarterman here. He was Quarterman main recruiter.

Bruh your timeline is all whack

Mccray was replaced by musselman, patrick replaced shawn forrest after he lied on his resume, mccray replaced kirby when he went to memphis

Mccray may have helped get some east coast kids to westwood but howlands best ucla squads were built off local talent (farmar, westbrook, love, afflalo, etc)

I'll believe basketball prep stars flocking to Starkville when I see it. Howland and McCray may be great recruiters, but it's still Starkville Mississippi.

Sorry guys, my timeline is all whacked as you young folks say. And don't think for one minute that the Atlanta Celtics AAU basketball program don't reach far and wide for players. Hell, I remember coaching AAU basketball and coached against them.

They would identify a player from cali, fly that player in for the weekend tourney, and fly him back home. If you are a top player, you will hear from that organization, no matter where you are. Anyway, this is a Malik Newman thread, didn't mean to hijack it.

All I remember about them is a SLAM article talking about how Josh Smith, Randolph Morris and Dwight Howard were all on the same team
