There’s plenty of reasons to be excited about Mississippi State basketball going forward. The immediate influx of young talent is going to provide a platform for Ben Howland to compete with some of the best teams in the nation in the coming years. But, as much of an impact that the 9 freshmen on the team will make, in the short term it’s meaningless if Quinndary Weatherspoon does not have a great year this season.
So far, there’s nothing to indicate that he won’t have an impressive season. If anything, what we’re seeing right now leads me to believe that he’s going to be one of the best players in the SEC this year.
