Re: tOfficial MSU Basketball Recruiting Thread: Class of 2018

Herbie is the realest motherfucker out here in these streets. He's not going to let any of your guys' mamby pamby homer bullshit slide.

Honestly, it’s quite refreshing - especially after reading that obsession thread. Some of the swill is setting the standard for fan message boards.

Spend 15 minutes on MGOBLOG and you'll back thinking we're well-adjusted, rational fans.

Which I pretty much think we are.

Of course, the Germans thought they were the good guys when they bombed Pearl Harbor, so...

Reading outrage of fans that mock other fan’s outrage? Or someone’s take that understands how the bowl selection works? One of those two?

You know, there's no one forcing you to read the obsession thread. You could take a pass on it.
Just a thought from an admirer who thinks you're the ginchiest.

Or he could stop being a pussy and call out the swillsters by name who don't meet his lofty standards and expectations.

Swing and a miss, lofty judgmental all being knower of what being a message board poster and Spartan fan is all about all the while trying so hard to be Bob 2.0.

I don't know, man, he's pretty much trying to cosplay as Bob from back before Bob decided to let his guard down and be himself. Quite frankly Bob did it better. It takes no effort to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian and dig-in by only recognizing the black-and-white of an issue instead of the shades of grey. The difference is that it doesn't gain a hell of a lot of traction here because the posters here have actual shit to do and can't get that worked up over most of this shit.

OTPT 11     Shea Patterson 6

However much we think you'd be the 6th man on MSU's team or maybe get the PT on the Pistons, we find the above post full of irony.   It's why I allowed Shea Patterson to even think he could get over 5 on you one on one.

Not being able to see his own irony cost OTPT 3 points.

So you’ve got nothing outside of the same joke ya been running with for a year now. Got it.

Are you guys still arguing this? Go home.

[NigelUno]

Just spit baling here, but could the kid early enroll at MSU?   If he's only going to practice why not get him checked in in January and start early.  Practicing with the MSU squad has to be better than playing games against H.S. kids.  

Probably already been thought of and not been approved.

He'd burn a year of eligibility if he's on scholarship.

Wow... that's like Travis Trice levels of bad.

Well now that you bring up that huge sample size I’m going to change my mind.

See wags if that happened you may have a point, but it didn’t. Kingston (per usual) got angry when i pointed out that herbie was being fair in this discussion and not letting the green glasses get in the way. I said some of the swill was setting good message board standards and kingston (shocking) did not like that. He asked what wasn’t refreshing, and i answered. So there was no actual “outrage” you see. There was some when people compared the mhsa or whatever the fuck it’s called to the ncaa. You following me?

Is this kithier dude going to transfer after playing for a few years at a horizon school to get some experience under his belt? Alright!

Top 100 is usually promising. Someone with some other quality offers. Hopefully not under 6 foot 1 or so. Cough tum tum and loyer.

I know we aren’t Kentucky and getting 5 5 stars every year, I just like to temper my expectations when you see the red flags of certain recruits.

I can't wait until OTPT has to eat his words about Foster Loyer. I would propose and All B1G bet by the time he graduates but I'm not sure what stakes are appropriate.

I was highly skeptical on Loyer even after seeing him play.  But he lit it up on those AAU tours.

On the Nike EYBL circuit:

Loyer was 19th in Points/game with 17.5
11th in 3s made with 37 (42.5%)
7th in FTs made with 83 (83/84)

I just want to have a guard like Skiles or Cleaves. Some dog in him. Is Lawyer a quiet kid who plays well or can he be a qb on the floor and get in teammates face if need be.?
