Welcome to
MSU, Derrick!
You wouldn't get a consensus on this board unless he was a top 5 ranked player in the country. Anything worse than that, people for some reason second guess the head coach.
I'd have a little more trust in Izzo and his talent evaluation. People here complain we're too short, so we recruit a bunch of 6'9-7'0" guys. Then those tall guys are too weak, so we get a recruit who's got great size and is growing into his body and dominated the competition and they complain about him. So, the complainers on here.... How many HS recruits have you evaluated and signed for one of the Top 10 D1 BBall programs? How many D1 college basketball games have you coached and won? How many have you played in?
Not until the last season of said players collegiate career should you second guess a recruit and Izzo's decision to bring him in and ability to coach him up.
