Or why Izzo changed his mind? Maybe he's seeing the year to year nature of college basketball going forward, and rather than having to commit to a kid for 4 years, he just has to build the best possible roster for next year, which is short on good rebounding wings?
Because by all accounts MSU also sees him as a tight end, and always has.
His dad is a Michigan native, who has coached at 4 of the 5 in state mid majors, and is currently an assistant at Missouri, but had been mentioned has a replacement on the basketball staff for Fife. So maybe the chance to be with his dad? But I'm pretty sure Missouri recruited him too, so he could have already had that if he wanted it
