Quote:
"Michigan State has been on and off because I know Izzo and Crean (ex-Marquette coach Tom Crean) are boys," Wilson told to Scout.com in March. "It's been kind of on and off with them."
According to Wilson, part of the reason for the Spartans' hot-then-cold pursuit strategy was his status as a crucial target for Izzo's good friend and former protégé, Tom Crean. Now that Crean is a Big Ten adversary at Indiana, the restrictor plates have apparently been removed from the race for Wilson's services.
"Actually, I've been getting a lot more attention from Michigan State ever since the Tom Crean move (to Indiana)," Wilson reported. "I think that played a big role in everything.
"(Not hearing from Michigan State for a while) is not really a big deal. Actually, it shows me what kind of person Tom Izzo is and how much respect he has for other people. In order to earn respect you have to give respect. That just shows me what kind of person he is off of the court. He actually cares for other people."

That is great. With Crean gone, Izzo can steal more top stars like Lucious from Wisky. Suck it Bo!
