Yup Draymond green was a 3 star player out of hs


:comeon: Izzo takes non tier 1 talent into the discussion of championship material, that is what separates him from other coaches. Izzo is about to start upping his recruitment on 4-5 stars anyway so its about be:demonic: season.

Is he stubburn? Yes. But let's be real: this is the FIRST time his squad has been popped in a major tourney. Coach K, Self, etc etc have all taken an early exit L (with a team that was supposed to go far). It took until 2016 for Izzo to.

You should be banned for such an egregious lie. No bullshyt.

He was a 4* on rivals or scout and a 3* on the other...

Espn and 247 weren't doing rankings back in 2008.

Edit: rivals 2008 he was a 3* ranked 122 out of the top 150.

Is Izzo better than coach K? No, and it's pretty obvious. However he is easily a "tier 1" coach.

Is anyone reconsidering coach cal for bowing out in the round of 32 with a roster of multiple mcd AAs?

TYRONE GA!
Dogg, I will never say Izzo not an elite coach. That issue was whether he was better than K.

:salute:

I know your answer to the bolded so it's all good.

I couldn't quite remember how that discussion went back on the podcast and yeah, it was the K comparisons.

Anyone still think Dean better at this point :rip:

so aldoph rupp who was winning against all cac squads but lost when he faced a team of brehs is a elite coach
so rick pitino is a elite coach but not jim boeheim?

:heh:

Isn't pitino the only coach to win 2 titles at two different schools?
