Better than AJ Hoggard is a pretty low bar.

Umm excuse me. AJ Hoggard runs the fast break better than anyone since Mateen Cleaves

True! There is still hope! All the hype sounds like Mike Smith with better defense to me tho

I really like Walker and have since he was a transfer prospect, so I’m personally a bit confused by the ups and downs of the offseason (when nothing was actually happening).

I think the more interesting factor is how much does MSU need from Walker compared to from other guys.

If Justin Thind is a guy on Field of 68 I may have to stop listening. He’s such an arrogant, condescending douche bag.

And Trey McGowens as #13. I purposely didn’t include him in my list yesterday of the remaining 13 because I thought he could have been 19 or 20 and not really higher than that. Maybe we can get some Brad Davison or Julius Marble for #12.

Wow. If McGowans is that high, this is going to be so comical to see what guys get left off the list

I think Dylan is right in regards to Jones because we have discussed the top 10 numerous times. I think Dante Scott or Eric Ayala get left off as well, throw in some Pete Nance getting left off. Tyson Walker I imagine will be left off as well.

Trey McGowans 13? Yeesh. I think he could be a guy that will breakout a bit, and for Nebraska to be actually good he’ll have to, but that’s a guy you put at like 19. Not 13th.

I actually did almost mention Davison as a guy Katz might put on there but it almost seemed too crazy. Then again, and I will reiterate this til I’m dead, nothing will be crazier than Top 10 in America Geo Baker.

Brad Davison haunting me for five damned seasons is pretty flippin’ crazy, though.

How old is Keegan Murray?

Looks like Ty Walker IS starting. Frankly, I didn’t have much doubt that he would!

50-50 split between Hoggard and Walker up to this point… Hoggard just missed a three to the right side of the backboard.

MSU looks really good when it can get out and run. Still think there are a few Qs about how they look in the half court but this probably isn’t the game that will answer them.

Hoggard has definitely lost weight so he looks like an actual point guard now which was necessary.

Shooting issues continue in the small sample size so far, but at least they’re missing threes instead of other twos.

In my opinion, that’s gotta be pretty meh half if you’re an MSU fan. If this is the general scope of the offense, MSU is not gonna overperform expectations.
