Bad thread title. Stupid petty thread.
Yeah, well, you're an outdated assault rifle that is responsible for perpetuating innumerable guerilla wars around the world.
Obvious photoshop is obvious. Hi-land Lake isn't nearly that big.
Let's ask CNBC's Miguel Almaguer to check on that while he's there in hell. Seriously, Miguel, step away from the volcano.
New eruptions from Hawaii volcano destroy more than 40 structures from CNBC.
Great thread title.
Hilarious plot twist.
DEPAUL
Bad title
Good thread
I don't know anything about his recruitment, other than Sparty really wanted him. How hard did Michigan pursue?
Very recently, and it was completely out of the blue.
State's been recruiting this dude since he was a freshman, and he was basically a lock for them. Someone got to him...
Not completely out of the blue. DePaul has been on his finalists list from the start.
Stop with the tinfoil hat stuff.
Because a dude who is basically a 100% consensus lock from everyone in the know to MSU suddenly flips and goes to a program that has been irrelevant for about a decade plus.
No, that does not raise any eyebrows.
considering all the money MSU just lost in that settlement, it's possible the check bounced?
Touché
Maybe also realized right now is not the best time to be associated with MSU athletics regardless the sport. Like first couple Nittany Lion classes.
and absurd.
Guys getting paid to play for certain college programs is very much not outlandish and absurd. It's ridiculously common. Pretty reasonable to be skeptical of funny business with this one.
No, he had 100% crystal balls to MSU until 24 hours ago.
early on - after all he is a top-level recruit in our backyard - but it seemed to me that there was never really a strong connection either way so M somewhat de-prioritized him.
I don't follow the pay sites but seeing as we have been "out" for a while I sssumed that he included M on his final 5 this weekend solely to make it look worse when he went to MSU.......... Sorry Sparty!!
I did read on the interwebs that DePaul recently hired one of his AAU coaches so maybe his choice makes a bit more sense.
Justin Feagan!
19 pages before the committment:
"Want this kid"
"He's a beast. Best player in Michigan."
After commit:
"Horrible on the court attitude. We dodged a bullet."
decision
Like it. Posbang time.
I think this is a sign that kids are starting to realize how Izzo opperates. Seems to attempt to devalue his very good players so they will stay longer. Thank god Coach B doesn't do that kind of thing.
DePaul went 11-20 last year.
Im sooo glad he is not going to MSU, but yeah, something is up here IMO.
Who?
i wouldn't laugh too much yet until he actually shows up on campus at depaul.
Our recruits want to develop, play on tv in April and actually make it to the NBA in less than four years. MSU may not be a good fit.
5 years ago that thought would scare me but we legit have the better basketball program right now, Hell Brandon Johns lives in east lansing and chose UM with an MSU offer.
our top two targets: DJ Carton and Jalen Wilson (both borderline 5 stars) don't have MSU in their top 6, and are not from Michigan. In fact, neither even have listed offers from MSU here.
Can't see them getting in on those guys this late and making up that kind of ground, especially considering M is pretty much on par with if not ahead of MSU as a program at this point.
But if they get Keion Brooks (5 star and essentially the same position as Weems) whom they were leading with at one point, they won't be hurt too badly by missing Weems. If they don't get either...Sparty No!
