MICH, IND and USC are really loading up on some higher end transfers while MSU seems to be relatively quiet in the portal thus far.

Michigan St is usually pretty quiet in the portal. Izzo brought in no transfers in 2022 and 2023, two last year and one so far this offseason.

That seems to say a lot about his ability to identify, develop and retain HS recruits. I wonder if the new college world of NIL will hasten his retirement as it has for others.

The guy is a coaching legend and icon...or as someone else calls him, "meh".

I think Izzo has 2 seasons left in him, 3 tops. Get the feeling he really wants that second national title, but have to believe the nonsense going on now will finally wear him down.

I have a 25 year old daughter who is a school teacher but she has told us many times that she doesn’t want to work as hard as my wife and I have. We keep telling her that life in general is no cake walk. She is coming around but it’s hard to induce more drive in someone.

To be fair to your daughter, being a young teacher is grueling and energy sapping, as they figure out classroom management, develop their toolbox of lesson plans while aligning to curriculum, being put under the microscope by students and parents, and depending upon their situation, not feeling the support of veteran staff/admin. I am sure she’s harboring long exhausting days that stretch into the evening and night and sometimes that fantasy of retiring on a beach at 45 is what gets you through the next day, week, month.

I'm a 46 year old teacher, and I have NEVER allowed myself to entertain a fantasy of retiring on a beach at 45 😄
