^^^agreed. Izzo turned into a turd near the end of the Weber era and has been putrefying ever since.
I can think of at least a hundred reasons why he might have felt a need to leave the team... I say accept the fact that he is gone (at least for now) and move on.
I wouldn't wish him on my biggest/worst enemy. Guy is just, sorry can't say what I want, but you all know.View attachment 22869

No he's not .....he's been running his mouth aboot the Illini program since back when Bubbles was let go........He's just a despicable little squirt who has went out of his way to shelter or hide some terrible goings on at msu over the years.......I wouldn't want my son anywhere near him if he was looking for a coach and program to play for................................I mean that ..............I really really do......................
MSU shot 33% on mid range shots yesterdayThe midrange shooting is what put us behind by nine.
I will post exactly once to say i disagree on two points.Maybe we should refrain from dumping on a kid who's clearly going through something.
And ForeverCorrect. I can think of at least a hundred reasons why he might have felt a need to leave the team, and any one of those potential reasons has about a 1 per cent chance of being correct. Plus, aside from our curiosity, it is his business and no one else's. I say accept the fact that he is gone (at least for now) and move on.
Izzo was completely out of line commenting on another team's player who has taken time off because of unknown personal reasons. He could have been far more vague in his response. "they've made some changes really playing well..." whatever, be vague but don't comment on a young man who has stepped away for personal reasons. Leave it alone Izzo, you're better than that and you've been around too long to sink that low. Hoping someone asks Underwood about the comment or somebody calls Izzo out on it.
Correct me if I'm wrong , but this isn't the first time Skyy has jumped ship before................he came here amid vast hype and tremendous hope....And Forever
They were gonna take Nico with it without Skyy.Correct me if I'm wrong , but this isn't the first time Skyy has jumped ship before................he came here amid vast hype and tremendous hope....
Evidently it hasn't worked out.........BU is playing his cards correctly and close to the vest , as he did when Miller transferred to lsu or belo to st johns.....
No need to exacerbate the situation and I commend him and staff for finding a replacement as soon as they did ....and Moretti ain't what I'd call
chopped liver ( yuck , I hate liver ....gross smell and taste).........
No need for any bridge burning by BU and also no need for the little squirt izzo-zero to chime in......................izzo-zero needs to tend to his own knitting and
STFU aboot the Illini program ..................jus me humblin opines.......................

whispers *Izzo was right though* lol
They were gonna take Nico with it without Skyy.
I thought February but I think it’s next weekAny update on when he’ll join the team?
Obviously, I can't and couldn't read Izzo's mind, but I believed the reason he was so "upset" and vocal about Weber being dismissed was because he knew how to beat Weber. At some point and in the back of his mind, Izzo knew his reign of consistently beating Illinois would come to an end.^^^agreed.

They frequently sit with each other at AAU games when on the road recruitingObviously, I can't and couldn't read Izzo's mind, but I believed the reason he was so "upset" and vocal about Weber being dismissed was because he knew how to beat Weber.

And that end is Underwood.
Not sure if Izzo is a big fan of BU, but who cares. Take no prisoners, Coach, when it comes to MSU.
Agreed. Basketball aside, the role he had in intimidating and covering up crimes of the sexual nature on that campus is disgusting.View attachment 22869

I’m not sure if you’re joking or not. Actually after sweeping the Illini for a couple/few years, I believe Weber was at least .500 against MSU his last 2 or 3 years, including a win over a top 10 ranked MSU in his last year. He was vocal about Weber being fired because in 9 seasons he was .500 or above in 7 of them for a conference winning percentage of .575 and .675 overall, and took Illini to tourney 6 years. If a coach with that body of work at a school can be fired, it’s bad for the coaching community. Never mind that the team had been trending downward and team was 8 games under .500 in conference over Weber’s last 5 years.Obviously, I can't and couldn't read Izzo's mind, but I believed the reason he was so "upset" and vocal about Weber being dismissed was because he knew how to beat Weber.

Perrin is my guess. He doesn’t plan to be at Illinois for four years, anyway. Plus we will have been at Illinois almost a month longer to start with.Hopefully (considering injuries and poor play) neither are needed this season. That said, who is more likely to burn their redshirt, Perrin or Moretti?
This post x 1000. I wish Skyy well but he immediately packed up and left town. The play of this team the last 3 games personally tells me all I need to know about the situation.I agree with what you, and others who have said similar things regarding Skyy, to a point. He is a young man and I don't think people should tear the guy up personally. But. I feel like there is a clear pattern that has been established that certainly raises some questions. When you factor in his history of changing schools, him coincidently losing his starting job right before he left, and the amazing change in team dynamics since his departure I think it is kind of silly to come to many other conclusions than the obvious. The very vague statement that was released seemed to me as a way to avoid questions. To make questions seem "inappropriate". And when you factor in the large amount of cash that people(including people on this board) have contributed to NIL then I think there is less ability to hide behind being a "kid". First of all, he's not a kid. If any other 19 year old is given a hefty paycheck for a job and walks away from it midway through there are sure as heck going to be some questions. I see that as a likely developing part of NIL. Accountability to those footing the bill.
Now is he going through something away from basketball? Are his parents calling the shots? Is the staff saying what they need to say to not burn Montverde bridges? Was Izzo right?
Who knows, but it seems ridiculous to pretend people can't be, or shouldn't be, upset with how it went down.
Yeah, I agree…if Izzo knew anything at all about what went down…and then helped cover it up it’s super-sickening and disturbing…and let’s face it…he probably did. I might be ill-informed about it all…and it’s been a minute…But it if memory serves it was pretty much the same playbook Boeheim used when allegations about his Assistant Coach Bernie Fine came out.View attachment 22869

More likely? Good question because it’s hard to see either one being a significant factor with limited practice and no game time. Getting Luke back in another week or so will help the guard depth. Esp at the 2 spot.Hopefully (considering injuries and poor play) neither are needed this season. That said, who is more likely to burn their redshirt, Perrin or Moretti?
There was a lot of clutter aboot the mateen cleaves team era and disturbing actions by the players that , to my knowledge has not been fully vetted to this day.............................The debacle with the terrible trainer and his actions has put a cloud over all aspects of the sports programs at msu.......To think that izzo-zero had no knowledge of any awful goings on is an insult to the general public.....izzo-zero has been there long enough and probably swept enough under the rug to make that tapestry the size of a FB field.......Yeah, I agree…if Izzo knew anything at all about what went down…and then helped cover it up it’s super-sickening and disturbing…and let’s face it…he probably did.

1.) Hard Deny
2.) Discredit Anyone That Comes Forward
3.) Repeat…Ad Nauseam
4.) If Possible Change The Subject
Or, Simply Wait Out The News Cycle
Or some combination of the above…
