What are your top 5 Izzo Hoopers all time?

[MSUCTM96]

I was reading an article on Green recently about him spending the entire summer training at MSU. I have crazy man love for that kid, he is special. I felt like it was my son playing watching him guarding Lebron last year. Finishing the game scoring the last second bucket on the Heat to win... Awesome! What others players come to mind? Not just in ability, but those that bled green.

1. Cleaves.... Obviously
2. Green
3. Walton
4. Neitzel ..... Little white boy from blue collar Wyoming Park just west of my hood in Grand Rapids, MI.
5. Lucas..... Still love to watch the and one at the end of the game against Kansas in the 09' run.

PS: Best Play Ever: Summers dunk on Robinson in the 09' Final Four.... Hands Down!

1. Antonio Smith. The 1st Flintstone...big talented lug whose bruising style of play helped define Izzo's "team muscles/endurance mentality" ever since.

2. Mo Pete.

3. Cleaves. (and mama Cleaves too!)

4. Green.

5. Payne. (soon to be a 1st round draft pick...following 2013/14 mvp B1G and mvp NCAA NCG.)

agree re: best play of the Izzo era...one of the best in NCAA history.

This is a tough one....

1. Cleaves.......duh
2. S brown
3. Neitzel
4. Mo pete
5. Green

Cant argue the summers dunk....but the alley oop to mo peterson i believe vs iowa st was huge too in the elite 8. Neitzel taking down number 1 wisky was great also.

We are lucky to have so many great players and great plays under izzo.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Had to edit my whole post.....didnt see the izzo hoopers......had skiles respert and magic on the list lol....and peplowski and steigenga(sp) on the honorable mention list.

Cleaves is my number one all time and respert is 2. Loved resperts shot. He was smooth.
