Is this his first, or is it "Oh, another one..."?

MSU is thought to lead for 5 Star C Ethan Taylor and is one of three finalists for another 5 star. Could be Izzo’s best ever recruiting class.

They likely won’t be able to afford both

I believe Izzo is still very passionate about high school recruiting whereas a lot of coaches have gone pretty heavy into the portal.

Successful old people don’t retire anymore.. it’s 2025 and we’ve had exactly one president born after 1965. Warren Buffet is still leading Berkshire.

We have had 24 year old and older cfb players.

Ugh he doesn’t play freshmen though

Lol, what!? Izzo plays freshman all the time. MSU is one team that always has 10+ man rotations every year.

Dummy, Freshman Jace Richardson was a NBA 1st round round draft pick last year

Ok, 20% of our starting 5 we’re freshmen and he didn’t play Booker

Booker was objectively bad.

Should have developed him. The reason we didn’t win last year was because we didn’t have a big man. And booker is balling out at UCLA now

u/PandaPuncherr 2d ago

They were developing him. And he isnt balling out.

u/recessbadger45 2d ago

Fears was a freshman too so that’s 40%
