@DavidHarns Izzo has the schollies (gave one to a student manger). So you’re telling me getting paid and still playing (but splitting time for 1 extra year), is going to ruin culture? What about the other players that want to compete for a natty and are being held back by Izzo’s decision?
@AndredemboD@ESPNNBA@WindhorstESPN Agree, and I’m not too hung up on superstars, but I think we’re a ways off from having 4 All-Stars, including DPOY, plus a Tayshaun-level player.
@SpartanDawgPC In the age of NIL, recent team results, especially under a different coach, shouldn’t matter. Unless, of, course, your new coach has nothing to sell due to being out of coaching for years and being bad before that.
@snowonthegruff No no this must be wrong. I was assured he would do great because after he got canned at NU, he was on a podcast where he explained that he understands NIL and the portal now, and will do very well.
@EricksonKiva@The_OnlyColors Agree, but I lean more towards “get good players” than the article I just read going on and on about how “It’s complicated, it has to be the right fit!” Culture matters a lot but we have 2+ decades of seeing where great culture and very good talent get you, and it’s not a natty.
@BluePrintJay MSU fan here - totally agree. Also, this is why people accusing Fears of flopping on that open-court reach-in pisses me off. That one was legit! There’s stuff like this to complain about, just look a little harder!
@Sheehan_Sports They looked terrible for long stretches but, like, uncharacteristically terrible. Which makes me feel like the second half was just a regression to the mean, and maybe they’ll be okay? They deserved to win, but the slow starts and not closing out games is going to cost them.
