All this MSU stuff will go out the window once Bates reclassifies. His 15, maybe 20 minutes per game will solve their issues.

I do know a few people who are in the Chicago Hoops scene, and know two people people whose kids are in the Mac Irvin program. Everything Iāve heard about Miller is that Ayoās presence at Illinois was a huge part of his decision to go (theyāre good friends, Ayo something of a mentor/guy he looks up to), so the departure of Ayo is a major blow. They suggested that if the sit-out rule was still in place, he wouldnāt be doing this, but since itās an optionā¦
This is just me now, but Miller is a pretty impulsive kid (I say this based on watching him play a dozen HS games and seeing his demeanor) and is 100% absolutely convinced of his own ability. Iām sure he did not like his low usage, nor his struggles shooting (which, frankly, he had never had in 3 years of high-level HS basketball). Iām not sure Miller even envisioned himself as spending more than 2 years in college (if that), so the question of āwhat am I going to do at Illinois when Ayo goes?ā may not have been there.

As I said about him earlier, Tulsa fans does not like him at all and thinks heās incompetent. He can recruit though. He has recruited Shaq Harrison who has jumped around in the NBA in his first few years. The same Tulsa team that made it to the NCAA tournament against Michigan with 9 seniors who saw 3 coaching changes in their career. Wojick, Manning and Haith.

Itās interesting then to promote him to bench coach from a purely recruiting role.
I think their logic goes like this, he can play in a bigger role in recruiting because he can do more things as an assistant coach as opposed to recruiting coordinator. Heās an assistant coach, not the head coach so his coaching would be covered by Izzo and other staff.
Itās so weird that a guy who got in trouble for verbal abuse is also supposed to a great recruiter. Some kids have Stockholm syndrome apparently.
I just think MSU is gonna be a lot better than most given that Emoni coming off the bench will help give them a boost.

I wil believe that Tom Izzo gives Gabe Brown 30mpg when I see it. I like Brown and think he should have been playing moreā¦but Izzo hasnāt agreed. I do think heās not of a 3 than a 2.

This kid can flat out shoot and score. Probably comparable to Hauser honestly. Defense is Traudtās biggest ? In his game I think.
Oh brother
