Everything here essentially is how I also feel. I used to really respect him but his acting sort of caught up with him as the issues piled up behind him. He plays a lot of smoke and mirror for his players which I think is the basis for his ‘family culture’ which is also why former MSU players seem to get in more trouble than other programs. Essentially, the young men don’t have Izzo running interference for them anymore and they don’t know how to behave.I think his fake support of "the survivors" after his actions in the past are worse than his shady recruiting.
Keeping Walton employed after his ordeal was a bad move but I guess it avoided an awkward situation since Walton was living with Izzo at the time correct?
No disciplinary action against Payne and Appling after they were investigated for a rape that Payne basically admitted to was worse.
This would alarm me more as a fan than whether opposing fans thought my coach was a dirty recruiter which btw was kind of proven with the miles bridges stuff right? Idc how small the amount was ($400 and a paid meal?) and I know MSU cleared him in less time then it took me to right this response but the AD there is a mess and shouldn't be handling anything like that right now.
I will give him one compliment though, he was one hell of a magician at your midnight madness event this year. I bet it's the same costume he wears when he makes sexual assault charges disappear!
I don’t think he’s dirty. He’s certainly no Rick Pitino.From visiting here in the past, there’s a a good faction that thinks MSU and Izzo is dirty and cheats for recruits. Keeping it civil, do Purdue fans still think that?

IZzo doesn't cheat. However he does make many promises to many recruits that he has no intention of keeping. Who is to blame? IZzo or the recruits who believe him?
I think he will do anything to win.From visiting here in the past, there’s a a good faction that thinks MSU and Izzo is dirty and cheats for recruits. Keeping it civil, do Purdue fans still think that?
Close to my thinking. I don't know if he, or someone close to the program, cheats or not. But based on chatter from some MSU fans posting here in the past, Izzo got at least one player who they said was "dirty".I don't think he cheats but would question his ethics...for sure!
Believe he is a very good basketball coach. Certainly one of the better coaches in college basketball. Not as sure about his ethics/morals. He seems like a good guy. When the spotlight has been on him for darker occurrences at MSU, he isn't nearly as eloquent or chatty as when he is being interviewed on the court after a win. Honest people don't change character. Their character is their character. He seems to move around in this regard. MSU athletics in general seem like they are more about winning than anything else. Not saying that is good or bad, just what it seems like. Purdue hasn't been close to the overall performance and achievement over the last decade as MSU in major athletics. Maybe the tide is turning?From visiting here in the past, there’s a a good faction that thinks MSU and Izzo is dirty and cheats for recruits. Keeping it civil, do Purdue fans still think that?
I think izzo is dirty because I’ve been told, off the record, by people who cover recruiting that izzo is dirty. I don’t mind it too much though, because I’ve also been told that izzo has grabbed plenty of commitments, including several he won over Purdue, without being dirty. Sounds like he’s there to win those who have their hands out and those who don’t alike.From visiting here in the past, there’s a a good faction that thinks MSU and Izzo is dirty and cheats for recruits.

I think he beat us on Gary Harris fair and square. Dawson... not so much.I think izzo is dirty because I’ve been told, off the record, by people who cover recruiting that izzo is dirty.

Right. I guess to expand, I don’t think izzo is clean, but izzo also isn’t doing the Pitino/Kansas/Arizona thing where they’re being funneled guys with talent who are willing to be bought. I think izzo more so identifies who he wants and does what needs to be done to get them. I think when you pair that with the success they had, it makes you formidable in the recruiting gameI think he beat us on Gary Harris fair and square. Dawson... not so much.
