Izzo grateful he settled for Tum Tum Nairn
Tyus Jones was Tom Izzo’s Plan A, Tyler Ulis his Plan B. Tum Tum Nairn, well, he turned into Plan C when Izzo needed a point guard in his 2014 recruiting class. There was room for Gavin Schilling in 2013 when Jabari Parker spurned Michigan State for Duke. Izzo signed Ben Carter as a grad transfer in 2016 because Deyonta Davis surprised him by leaving for the NBA. MSU’s senior class was anything but MSU’s first choice.
