Add Marcus Coleman a 6'5 swing man from Flint Hamady High School out of Flint, MI to the list of Grambling recruits. Good recruit for SU, if yall would have had some size who knows what the end result would have been against Duke in the tourney.

:nod: :nod: I agree!
 
I would like to see every SWAC school schedule better this year! :nod: We need to get our Rankings up so we can give the Tourney team a chance to get a higher seed then 16! :nod: :nod:
 
it's a longshot he sees the basketball court.....if Mack could run the floor well he could name his price.....he'll be hell defensively though...

Glen Davis runs the court very well! I'm not going to say he is slow but Glen Davis (LSU) runs the floor well. Mack may need to lose a good 20 pounds. We don't need him to lose many! I wouldn't mind have a Center weighing 250+

they need to schedule smarter. you can play sec squads but play ole miss, not lsu. lets play and beat the bottom feeders in the power conferences and that'll raise the league rpi along with beating teams from mid majors as well. that's where we've got to start.

You can play Conference USA schools. Little of SEC schools. Vandy, or Ole Miss.
 
How about we start at the top of the mid-majors like the WCC, MAC, Sun Belt and others before looking at the power conferences. You have to crawl before you walk!

Alabama State Hornets

Overall Rank: #139

Conference Rank: #1 SWAC



2005-06: 12-18, 10-8, 4th (t)

2005-06 postseason: none



Alabama State exceeded most expectations last season under first year coach Lewis Jackson. The Hornets are hoping to take that a step further and win the SWAC for the first time since 2001. Despite the loss of some big time players, Alabama State returns enough talent and brings in some quality junior college transfers and incoming freshmen to fill in the holes and compete for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.



Who?s Out: Akeim Claborn was the main post presence for the Hornets last season. The 6-7 forward averaged team highs in points and rebounds with 14.7 and 7.5, respectively and was the only player to start in all 30 contests. The backcourt will see Lamarquis Blake, Herbert Warren and Alexander Oliver departing. The trio combined to average 17.8 points per game and the perimeter will need to have a new look this year. Seldom used forward Tyler Ray will also not be playing for Alabama State this season.



Who?s In: Coach Jackson is looking to bring in players that fit into his up-tempo style of play. This group of newcomers will help, especially the transfers who can make an immediate impact. Tremayne Moorer will battle for minutes in the frontcourt. Moorer averaged 25.5 points and 13.6 boards as a senior in high school before spending one season at Troy. Combo guard Tahrea Jackson from Brunswick Community College in North Carolina will provide some experienced depth to the backcourt. The point guard spot could use some further options and will look to incoming freshman DeShean Porchea to shore up that position. Over the last two seasons shooting guard Brandon Hubbard has led the state of Alabama in scoring while at Gulf Shores High School. Hubbard might not be starting immediately, but should excel in the ASU offense. Forwards Kintrell Biddle and Jacques Leeds will battle for minutes under the basket. Jared Howard, a 6-5 wing, redshirted last season and will see his first action for the Hornets during the 2006-2007 campaign.



Who to Watch: Alabama State will find two new leaders in Andrew Hayles and Richard Lott, Jr. Hayles, a 6-5 guard, had a tremendous freshman campaign, averaging 9.1 points per contest and earned SWAC Freshman of the Year honors. Expect Hayles to take even more shots this year and be one of the top scorers in the conference. Lott will have the tough job of trying to replace Claborn?s production in the scoring column and on the glass. The 6-7 junior averaged 7.6 points and 4.9 rebounds as a sophomore.



Final Projection: It?s not all about Hayles and Lott. The backcourt returns Cedric Mitchell and point guard Dustin Richmond, while the frontcourt has potential in Joel Bosh and part-time starter Miguel Morton. If the newcomers come around as they are expected, this will be a pretty deep group of players that will battle for the top spot in the conference. Keep an eye out for Mississippi Valley State and Jackson State to provide some surprises, but the Hornets will get it in the end.
