MSU's highest paid player was apparently $1.6 million, granted I think their backups were better paid than most, part of Izzo's mindset.  He's never going to land one of these dudes, because he's never going to make a new guy the highest paid player on the team
He would never go after Blackwell. Too much mutual respect with Gard.

If the guy can really get himself a $5M payday, I say: go for it. 

He's good. I don't know how good. I know some people I respect question his commitment to defense, but he's still real good.

I'm not going to judge a guy for taking that kind of payday. I would. It's not like he's turning his back on his family for it.

They also desperately need a 5.  Blackwell would be a luxury.  If they are going to break the bank, it would be on the big from Kansas or Louisville.  And I don't see them doing that either

Just get him out of the B1G. But the Michigan deal is apparently done.

USC has THREE top 25 freshman taking court for the Trojans next season. How much can it be expected to jump start USC? If I remember correctly, didn't Rutgers put a monster 2024 recruiting class on the floor last season? Including a forward now on the Jazz and a guard now on the Spurs, and Rutgers only went 15-17.

Honestly not so surprised, albeit annoyed. 

The Euros tend to be extra transactional. Figured he’d be a risk.
