March 22, 200719 yr Author He didn't mention the others on the "short list"...I would like to hear the rest of the list.
March 22, 200719 yr He has done one thing, recruit Dwayne Wade, other than that. Not much...I don't even know if he recruited him. He might have but you;re right without him his record is not remarkable.
March 22, 200719 yr He has one thing going for him... Louisville fans HATE him, and he HATES Louisville fans.
March 22, 200719 yr Even though his mentor is older, I would still take Izzo in a heartbeat ahead of Crean.
March 22, 200719 yr He's built a pretty respectable program at Marquette. I'd give him some credit for that.
March 22, 200719 yr Even though his mentor is older, I would still take Izzo in a heartbeat ahead of Crean.Izzo will not leave Michigan State. Where do you people get these names?
March 22, 200719 yr Even though his mentor is older, I would still take Izzo in a heartbeat ahead of Crean. I agree whole heartedly
March 22, 200719 yr He has done one thing, recruit Dwayne Wade, other than that. Not much... I like how you always leave out that he was the lead recruiter for the amazing MSU run. When he left recruiting went down hill and Izzo started throwing in as many 1st round loses as deep runs. Maybe UK can get them both...

When he left recruiting went down hill and Izzo started throwing in as many 1st round loses as deep runs. Maybe UK can get them both... We have discussed this before. Crean was gone by the time MSU's latest final four team made a run. If you want 1st round losses in the NCAA's Crean is your man with 3 in 5 trips to the NCAA's and 2 in 3 trips to the NIT... I just disagree that Crean is a great recruiter. The great recruits that MSU got Cleaves, Peterson, Bell, Richardson, Ager, Davis, etc. were all Michigan guys that were going to MSU because they lived in the state. Beside Dwayne Wade, there are not many high profile recruits that Crean has gotten(can you name some for me???). I know it is tough to recruit to Marquette. Even when Crean was at MSU, those guys were going to MSU more because they were Michigan kids IMO. Sorry I just can not see replacing a guy who has averaged more than 27 wins a year at UK(Tubby), with a guy who in his best season has won 27 games(in the muppet C-USA...)
