Tom Izzo was in Benton Harbor now
About a week ago I posted pictures of John Beilein at a Benton Harbor basketball game.
Well now there's been a Tom Izzo sighting. He was there last Friday.
As a refresher the main guy they're there to see is junior Carlos "scooby" Johnson.

There is also another long shot Justin Brown who is a cousin of Jaylen Brown of the Celtics.
I couldn't find anything on him so maybe he isn't anywhere near as good as I think.
Here's some home highlights.

If you can't beat them, join them.
January 14th, 2019 at 6:15 PM ^
Sounds like Greg Mattison's motto.
January 14th, 2019 at 3:41 PM ^
John B. will prepare him for the NBA, better than Izzo.
January 14th, 2019 at 4:12 PM ^
Yep! Because no one prepares you for the NBA better than John Beilein. #Fact!

I would like to see our guys have a little more success in the NBA before I could agree with that statement. Except for THJ most have not lived up to their draft spot though Caris looked like he was one his way until the injury.
January 14th, 2019 at 6:04 PM ^
they are counting their millions. JB did his job in helping them get there. It's up to the players and their coaches to stay and succeed there.
hell, duncan robinson is getting paid; a DIII transfer. let that sink in.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:16 PM ^
JB continually finds off the radar guys and sends them to the NBA, proof enough for me, and all the more he can do with highly ranked guys.
January 14th, 2019 at 3:42 PM ^
Where in the world was Carmen San Diego now?
i do appreciate the local St Joe reporting!
January 14th, 2019 at 3:45 PM ^
Highly in favor of having anyone on the team named Scooby
January 14th, 2019 at 3:49 PM ^
Hey, Scoob, you like playing in April? Come to Michigan.
January 14th, 2019 at 4:18 PM ^
Hell, do you want to get past games 1 or 2? Based on the last few years UM has a better chance!
January 14th, 2019 at 4:20 PM ^
The Bullough brothers have some special Scooby Snacks lined up for him. Zoinks!
January 14th, 2019 at 3:56 PM ^
I was too but now I is instead
January 14th, 2019 at 4:40 PM ^
thanks for also being hung up on this
January 14th, 2019 at 3:57 PM ^
Only want him if we can get another player nicknamed "Shaggy".
January 14th, 2019 at 4:00 PM ^
And the average height of people in Benton Harbor dropped 2 inches.

Izzo is not aging well. His face looks really old... this means nothing, but i saw him during the PSU game and I was caught off guard how much older he looks than I remember.
BTW: Per the above, Izzo was in Benton Harbor
January 14th, 2019 at 4:26 PM ^
Is he in Benton Harbor last Friday? Or was he there now?
January 14th, 2019 at 4:34 PM ^
He was there now. What is so hard to understand? Simple English
January 14th, 2019 at 5:17 PM ^
He will be there yesterday.
January 14th, 2019 at 4:27 PM ^
Is this Black Mirror the college basketball edition?
January 14th, 2019 at 5:07 PM ^
My son played with Justin in middle school at a St. Joe parochial school. He's a high character kid from a high character family. Then he went to public and I didn't follow him. He could always jump, was dunking in 8th grade games.
January 14th, 2019 at 5:07 PM ^
January 14th, 2019 at 5:47 PM ^
"Scooby" Johnson has a nice retro feel to it as well, which I kind of like.
January 14th, 2019 at 6:14 PM ^
Everything will be all sunshine, chew toys and 23 Scooby doo when he's a HOTdog, but if his bark is worse than his bite he'll ridiculed as Scooby don't!
January 14th, 2019 at 5:16 PM ^
I was in Benton Harbor at The Livery Brewpub Friday and since I didn't see Izzo, he obviously wasn't in town.
Fake Nonsense!
January 14th, 2019 at 6:35 PM ^
Well, if you were sitting at the actual bar, your elevated perspective might well have caused you to literally overlook Izzo.
January 14th, 2019 at 5:38 PM ^
so not now, but last friday
got it
January 14th, 2019 at 7:07 PM ^
Rewind it back to that scene in spaceballs where they are watching the DVD
January 14th, 2019 at 7:09 PM ^
I hope he has realized by now that his title bends the laws of space and time.
January 14th, 2019 at 6:03 PM ^
Lot more of my fellow SJ/BH natives on here than I thought.
I watched Carlos play against SJ a few weeks ago. It was fun.
January 14th, 2019 at 6:44 PM ^
I'd like that comment if I was allowed to. But, alas...I'm not a native. I followed a beautiful woman to the vacation side of the state.
January 14th, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
Hey, it works. I moved there with my wife too. Miss BH. Been gone a couple years and itching to get back. Love the updates on Scooby and I had not noticed Justin before. Know some kids in the band and in baseball there but not close with the basketball players.
January 14th, 2019 at 6:15 PM ^
January 14th, 2019 at 7:29 PM ^
Tom Izzo was in Benton Harbor now
And . . . ?
January 14th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
First Spike now Shaggy
January 14th, 2019 at 8:21 PM ^
The NOW in my title was in reference to the fact that Beilein was here before. Izzo WAS here now.
wow are you guys critical
January 14th, 2019 at 9:11 PM ^
We are just joking. Relax.
That being said, you didn't clear up much with your elaboration
January 14th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
now, now... he was in Benton Harbor... OK?
