Who the heck is Welp Atkins?
August 13th, 2020 at 3:07 PM ^
7* long snapper
August 13th, 2020 at 8:20 PM ^
Isn't Welp Atkins a coughing illness causes by a low-carb diet plan?
August 14th, 2020 at 6:04 AM ^
I believe you are thinking of Whop Philyor.
August 13th, 2020 at 3:07 PM ^
How do so many people not know how to spell his name correctly?
August 13th, 2020 at 5:29 PM ^
That’s why he didn’t commit.
August 13th, 2020 at 3:08 PM ^
Of course he did why wouldn't he want to be part of the dream team Izzo is building?
August 13th, 2020 at 3:16 PM ^
I wouldn't worry about any dream team that Shorty is building in East Lansing. By the time college basketball is back to normal, all of these high level recruits will not even have had a chance to slap the floor at the Breslin Center. They will either be enlisted for the 2021 NBA draft, or getting paid a few hundred thousand to play in some sort of G-League/non NCAA league before heading to the league.
August 13th, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
Yes, but think of all of the articles MSU slappies can write about how great this team that will never be will be in the meantime
August 13th, 2020 at 4:09 PM ^
I think Bates is the question mark (seems 50/50 right now). Would be surprised if Akins, Brooks, Christie or Boakye don't play at MSU.
August 13th, 2020 at 6:41 PM ^
You think Bates is "50/50 right now" playing for MSU? You must be sniffing or smoking some pretty strong stuff. There's at most a .001% chance he plays college ball.
August 13th, 2020 at 10:35 PM ^
It's definitely possible he plays college ball. Full stop. Likely? I don't know, but certainly plausible.
August 14th, 2020 at 7:04 AM ^
Well they don’t want to write about their football team right now.
August 13th, 2020 at 6:49 PM ^
They are already committed to Izzo, why would they take a pay cut to go play G-League?
August 13th, 2020 at 7:37 PM ^
Shorty probably already has the grandmas in his basement.
August 13th, 2020 at 7:32 PM ^
The greatest team that never was...
August 13th, 2020 at 3:14 PM ^
Founder of the Atkins diet, i presume?
August 13th, 2020 at 4:53 PM ^
No, that was Dr. Whelp Atkins. He uses the alternative spelling. Easy mistake to make, so don't sweat it.
August 14th, 2020 at 8:46 AM ^
What's a welp between friends?
August 13th, 2020 at 3:17 PM ^
Informative
August 13th, 2020 at 3:21 PM ^
Is Welp related to Chuckie???
August 13th, 2020 at 3:47 PM ^
Not Chuckie but Chuckles, the tasty, jellied candy of years gone by.
August 13th, 2020 at 3:25 PM ^
At least we can all look forward to when Emoni Bates decommits and MSU fans will be in ruins
August 13th, 2020 at 5:14 PM ^
Sounds like he is itching to get to the NBA as quickly as possible...
August 13th, 2020 at 11:34 PM ^
Emoni Bates has said a lot of shit. Him and his dad are an interesting duo. I'll trust Matt D's intel that he never intends to step foot on the court of Breslin
August 13th, 2020 at 3:25 PM ^
Sweet! They won’t have room for Akins now
August 13th, 2020 at 3:48 PM ^
Does he know that Juwan met Lebron?
August 13th, 2020 at 3:50 PM ^
<obligatory "welp" shoulder shrug meme>
August 13th, 2020 at 3:59 PM ^
Welp?
August 13th, 2020 at 4:32 PM ^
Who?
August 13th, 2020 at 4:39 PM ^
We already knew this was a forgone conclusion a fortnight ago. Nothing to see here.
August 14th, 2020 at 12:34 AM ^
So you're saying you heard about this on Fortnite two weeks ago? In that case it must be true.
August 13th, 2020 at 4:40 PM ^
Fuck MSU and everything they stand for!
August 13th, 2020 at 5:03 PM ^
Eh, give the devil his due. Izzo is absolutely crushing it recruiting this year. The funny thing is Howard isn't doing badly, it's just Izzo is off the charts good this year.
Not unlike football if you think about it. Different school but same aggregate results.
August 13th, 2020 at 5:08 PM ^
We've had a lot of success against little brother on the hardwood and have done better than them in the NCAA Tournament lately.
They reach the Final Four. We win there.
So from that standpoint it's not comparable.
August 13th, 2020 at 5:28 PM ^
The head to head and tourney stuff has been a dead push/slight Michigan lead if you combine the two. But MSU has had more conference titles to show for it than us, but take that for what it's worth
Arguably the best team for either side the last decade (2013 Michigan) didn't win the regular season or the conference tourney championships. Basketball is a weird sport
August 13th, 2020 at 5:36 PM ^
LMFAOOO keep telling yourself that. MSU owns Michigan in basketball in almost every accolade possible. Delusion runs in your pea-brained ideals.
August 13th, 2020 at 5:59 PM ^
Signed up just to post this? You are an insecure little shart aren't you?
August 13th, 2020 at 6:07 PM ^
Can't imagine why he would be insec oh wait
August 13th, 2020 at 6:30 PM ^
Oh yeah, all those single wins in a row ??? pathetic fan base
August 13th, 2020 at 6:46 PM ^
Don't be mad bro, you'll always have Women's X-country.
August 13th, 2020 at 10:13 PM ^
You seem lost here.
August 14th, 2020 at 1:49 AM ^
You spell accolade,”underachievers?”
August 13th, 2020 at 5:11 PM ^
I dont really give a shit how good Izzo recruits. He seems to do worse with more talent. And there is no way Emoni plays college ball once he sees the millions he can make in that nba developmental league
August 13th, 2020 at 5:29 PM ^
Chet Atkins was a helluva guitarist.
August 13th, 2020 at 5:46 PM ^
Uh...fuck you all...I think?
August 13th, 2020 at 5:54 PM ^
On a lighter note, FiveThirtyEight describes Duncan Robinson as part of "perhaps the NBA's most potent 1-2 punch. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-miami-heats-dynamic-duo-could-make-noise-in-the-playoffs/
August 13th, 2020 at 7:48 PM ^
Cool article...thanks. Loved it.
August 13th, 2020 at 6:31 PM ^
What I'm really waiting on is an elite pg and an elite center
