"He is now turning into a top 20 player, maybe higher. I just hope it is not to late for TI to get in there. The WWR's are a premier team with premier talent that seems to be in love with MSU. Why TI would not pursue this area is a joke."

uhh...no, he is not turning into a top 20 player....guaranteed. Izzo was "in there" first, and then cooled, and I would not say anyone from WWR is "in love" with MSU. There was definitely a connection made with Chris Allen and that AAU squad, but he was an anomaly. Lastly, Izzo recruits mostly close to home for numerous reasons. Allen fell in his lap with Allen's family living in Lansing and the kid growing up loving MSU.

I am by no means a recruiting guru, or think that Izzo is untouchable, but you should really know what you are talking about before you make such presumptuous and negative statements.
