April 11, 200818 yr Solid player that plays the game with a lot of energy, but not in his brother's category. MSU was the right place to be.
April 11, 200818 yr Any word on where he may land? I've heard he may go back to his home state and play for Missouri.
April 11, 200818 yr I've heard he may go back to his home state and play for Missouri. Ben Hansbrough has decided to transfer from Mississippi State, and although the junior-to-be from Poplar Bluff won’t make a move until after the spring semester, he’s already compiled a list of potential destinations, including his home state’s flagship university. "I’ve had quite a few schools contact me today," Hansbrough said last night. "Purdue, Colorado, Missouri I contacted, Butler’s contacted me. There’s been others. Notre Dame." http://www.columbiatribune.com/2008/Apr/20080409Spor003.asp Kind of odd.... I admit to being surprised about Ben Hansbrough transferring, especially after talking with him last week and hearing him explain all the things he’s doing to get ready for next season. But I was even more surprised when he explained his reason to transfer. Basically, he told me he wants to be a better basketball player, but the facilities at MSU don’t give him that opportunity. http://djbulldogs.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/hansbrough-explains-decision-to-transfer/
April 11, 200818 yr I have a hard time believing that Missouri's facilities are going to be better than any SEC school.
April 11, 200818 yr Hansbrough was a good, not great player. He is defnately the kind of kid that I would want on a team as a coach or would love to have as a teammate as a player. Very good shooterand he plays the game hard. I hate it for Coach Stansbury that he is losing this kid, unless it was to U.K.... Like I said, he is not a superstar by any standards but just a good, solid basketball player.
April 12, 200818 yr I've been hearing SIU... I also heard something very saddening to me the other day, was that Tyler was a HUGE UK fan growing up, like his whole bed room was UK and everything and didn't come to UK cause he didn't feel like Tubby could get him to the NBA, not sure if it's true but if it is, so sad LOL

The Salukis, as I'm told, thought they were going to get him before Mississippi State offered. Actually, Hansbrough may have been a huge KU fan. I was told several years ago that Hansbrough loved Roy Williams and was going to play for him, whether it was at Kansas or North Carolina.

I saw an interview with him during his freshman year and he said he always thought that Roy Williams was the best coach out there and it was a dream to get to play for him.

April 12, 200818 yr How good would of KU's frontline been with Hansborough there. Wow, had not thought of that...
