That's four player now that have transferred from Michigan State...and that doesn't include the two players who had committed to MSU that dropped their committments.  Only have added one transfer in, a pretty good point guard from Northeastern who averaged 19 points and 5 assists.

Have to say that Izzo has been getting his share of misses on recruits lately.

Guess his tough love doesn't work for every youngster these days.  And then there's Luke Appling.

Almost didn't work on Aaron Henry.  Rumors appeared more than once about him thinking about transferring.

Izzo's tough love is a facade, IMO......if you can really play, he turns a blind eye.  Wasn't that long ago when Payne and Dawson got into a fight at the team hotel that ended with a busted wall and their punishment was 'not getting to start the game that night'.

Just an off the wall comment but maybe Dane Fife was the glue that helped hold things together for Izzo possibly serving as a buffer for the players.

For those who don't know, Keith Appling was arrested Monday night for the fatal shooting of a 66 year old man west of Detroit.

Dude hit a dinger when he was 75. Granted, it was in an old timers' game. But still ... 

 

Awesome. Thanks for the share. Do they do old-timers games anymore? I remember the NBA one that got replaced by the Rising Stars during All-Star weekend.

If it wasn’t for Izzo pulling an Alford and burying Appling’s rape he would likely still be in jail and never could have killed someone.

That’s a bold statement and very likely true.

I wonder how much of that contributed to Dane Fife wanting to get out of there. I'm hoping a lot. I don't want to think that we hired someone who was OK with what was going on in that athletic department. For the record, I don't think we did. Time will tell.

I don’t think it contributed at all. The only reason Fife left was because it was Indiana. The sexual assault issues were several years ago at this point and Fife hadn't gone anywhere.

Troubled Kansas big man Silvio De Sousa enters the transfer portal.  Was suspended for half the season after picking up a chair during a brawl with Kansas State in 2020.  This past season he did not play as he was in trouble for an off the court aggravated assault case.

Guess that was a big miss for TJ and Dollar Bill!
