At least oscar competed for Clark. That is all that matters. #poorbruce

I'd say he overachieved by being on his final list. Congrats oscar

Well now our last scholly is probably going to go to a Jack Krap/Buchi Awaji/Juevol Myles type player.

Very true. That's our oscar: exceeding expectations through failure.

Michigan State has absolutely mushed us in this class. To be expected but still feels bad man.

Fully expected. During the Tourny last year, they laid down a crazy stat, iirc, it was that every single player that has stayed their full four years has been to the final four under Izzo, or something like that.

Hopefully oscar has got a Juevoll Myles or Buchi Awaji type player waiting in the wings.

Possibly an EMAPE type transfer??

Yep. If they don't make it to the Final 4 this year, it will be the first senior class to never make a Final 4 under Izzo.

Other than one-and-dones, Izzo should be able to take that stat to any living room in the country and get the kids he wants.

Looks like Jack Krap is safe for another year

I didn't realize his teammate Lourawlz also committed to MSU. Thought he was OU for some reason

It was born of necessity. Izzo whiffed on all his top targets. These were all B and C for him.

So Izzo came out very publicly in support of oscar when Illinois fired him saying how it was unfair and a mistake and that Illinois should have been happy to have oscar and his results. Now he is directly contributing to his possible failure at KSU by fighting over what are for Izzo table scraps. What a fuckface.

Clark wanted to come here but oscar mushed him to leave a spot open for Semi.

Even if we get him, we will have basically give 7 years of scholarships for 2 years of actual basketball

Well, Semi would be able to play 3 so that's not entirely accurate, but I see what you're saying. But any recruit we're going to get at this point is not going to be good enough to contribute next year so we'd be using up a schollie for next year anyway.

8 for 3 then. We're already out the initial 4 regardless, might as well through good money after the bad.

Hollowell was highly rated, but he is shitty at basketball and lazy as eff. Huge fp, tc.

Good body, below average athleticism and ball handling, has side spin on his jumper.

Don't really like his film.

Wait til he gets a real coach to teach him the right way to play.

Would rather we get 5th year PG transfer, presuming one is available that's really good.
