Can't get jiggy with that. I like JJJ but he's another project like Isaac. We need someone who can create offense both for them selves and others. Can't remember the last time we had somone who could do both.

Absolutely. He's getting maxed out. Might not be worth it but we can't lose another prospect for nothing. Hezonja finally looks decent and he's likely leaving this summer smh. We gotta stop the bleeding. As for the Draft hopefully we get Trae or Bamba. Mikal Bridges is growing on me tho that kid is a baller but he's going to be 22 in a few months and some teams might see that as a red flag.

Newly hired Kermit Davis says Ole Miss will 'be a team that respects the flag'

In the middle of his inaugural speech introducing himself to his new school on Monday, recently hired Ole Miss men’s basketball coach Kermit Davis veered off in an unexpected direction.

Unprompted, he listed standing at attention during the national anthem as one of the core qualities he expects to be synonymous with his program.

“What is Ole Miss Basketball going to look like?” Davis asked rhetorically. “It’s going to be relentless, athletic, explosive, a team that you’re going to have to play on and on and on to beat. It’s going to be a team that’s going to be unselfish. We’re going to play fast and smart in transition. We’re going to try to get easy baskets.

“We’re going to try to play with great body language. We’re going to be a team that respects the flag and the National Anthem. All those things from culture is what we’re about. It’s who we’re going to be.”

Davis was clearly alluding to the movement sparked two years ago by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Following Kaepernick’s example, dozens of NFL players have kneeled during the national anthem the past two seasons as a way of protesting racial inequality and police brutality.

What’s strange about Davis’ decision to reference it in his opening statement is there’s no history of athletes taking a knee during the national anthem either at Ole Miss specifically or across college basketball in general. Ole Miss did not immediately return a message from Yahoo Sports asking if Davis would be interested in speaking further about the subject.

Davis, a native of Leakesville, Mississippi, spent the past 16 years at Middle Tennessee, compiling a 332-188 overall record, capturing five league titles in the past seven seasons and winning first-round NCAA tournament games in 2016 and 2017. The 58-year-old was hired to replace longtime Rebels coach Andy Kennedy, who won 20 or more games nine times in 12 seasons but reached the NCAA tournament only twice.

Big mistake. He's not ready. Probably will end up a late first round pick and spend most of next year in the G league.

You know somebody must have gotten in his ear after he went off for 29 against Tech.

I can see some old head being like “That’s how you was supposed to be playing all year but they not using you right!”

This one stings though cause it seemed like was just starting to figure out that he didn’t have to go 300 mph all the time and he can go 250 and get buckets.
