Guess the Chicago Recruits Tom Izzo Flew to See
Larry Lage of the AP had a cool assignment recently – he tagged along with Michigan State coach Tom Izzo on a quick 6-hour recruiting trip. The recruits though, weren’t named. Let’s try and guess the recruit given these facts:
1) The recruiting trip was to Chicago.
2) They flew to Gary, Indiana, and then drove to “a Chicago arena.”
3) “Izzo made eye contact with the recruits, both of whom nodded their heads as if to say hello without saying a word, during pregame warm-ups in non-verbal exchanges that abided by the NCAA’s strict rules during evaluation periods.”
So we’re looking at teammates in Chicago … boom: Jabari Parker (No. 2 Rivals player in the Class of 2013) and Kendrick Nunn (No. 18 Rivals player in the Class of 2013). Too easy? [AP]

Additionally, only fools would go against Tom Izzo tonight.
Clowns would have been acceptable here as well.

Did they eat dinner at Applebees?

I would have accepted teabag-deserving buffoons.

I’m a clown who took Louisville +5.5.
Other picks:
Ohio State -7.5, Syracuse -3.5, Ohio State/Cincy under 129.
Torn on Florida. Like the Gators, but the smart play is Marquette.

Syracuse -3.5,
I have no clue on this one. None. Of course, I had KState beating Cuse even before the Melo thing.

I picked Wisky to beat Syracuse tonight, so hopefully they can help me out with that.

Who said recruiting in the Midwest isn’t glamorous?
March 22nd, 2012 at 6:58 PM
I’m assuming they won…

I wonder if he’ll play ball with Parker’s handlers like he did with Branden Dawson’s.
