As far as the Durant and Oden talk goes, I'm not really comparing Roe to them. Actually, that's my whole point. He's NOT THEM. Only a big can have that kind of freaky-deaky effect on a team where he steps right on his freshmen year and just propels their ass to the Final Four. Roe is not that big, and not as talented as them. He looks like a great player, and I'm uber psyched to have him aboard, but he's not going to just step on the court and propel us right into the ranks of the elite. As for end result, I'm with you; I hope you're right, and I'm wrong, but I sure as heck won't be putting money on that. |
Big difference between we are and we could. Of course, anyone always COULD, but the fact remains that it's more likely an Izzo-coached team will overachieve than underachieve. We don't have the explosive talent and
MSU rarely does, but Izzo's expertise is at putting together teams that do the things that superstars don't -- for one, defend.
