Big Ten Basketball 2022-23 Discussion

Sparty Izzo has Coleman coming in Dec if Tucker doesn’t win 2 more games which I doubt.:joy::joy::joy::joy::wink:

Tuck with a huge road win today. They’ll go bowling for sure

You think it’s a situation where they were just locked out of good transfers by the time they could pivot away from initial targets?

I think I remember Izzo saying something along the lines of portal bigs are pretty hopeless and not likely to impact winning at BIG10 championship level.

I don’t have facts to back up his assertion, but it passes the smell test. Joey Brunkner and that guy at Iowa last year, Rabrenko or something, eh — they don’t change anything. But Castleton was a transfer. And didn’t Minn get a high major big. (Or is their guy a wing?)

The average portal big is probably less Big Ten playable than the average guard or wing. At least, there’s a level of competence you need to play a big. Other spots you can get away with specialists.

And any elite big has a LONG list in the portal.

I think a pretty safe rule regarding anything Izzo says about the portal is “ignore the old man yelling at the clouds”

Fixed it for you…

“ignore the old man hypocrite yelling at the clouds who is starting two transfers and encouraged 3 others to leave”
