Michigan State has a really good recruiting class coming in next year with the best recruit being Delvon Roe.
There's a good amount of other strong recruits coming to East Lansing as well.
Any thoughts?
GO STATE!!!!!

If Izzo leaves definately not... If he stays, i guarantee we finish top 3 again in the Big 10 and will have a shot to make the final four and win a national championship

I think you're giving our freshmen too much credit spartanmanaaron. Have you not seen how poorly MSU has executed things the past three years?! They just haven't gotten it done.
I'm kind of worried about who's going to be Michigan States leader this far away upcoming year. Lucas, Walton, Suton, Morgan??? Who's going to step up in the clutch and get wins for us? I think Lucas and Suton want it more than anybody else. They work their arses off game in and game out, and off the court. Morgan just didn't bring as much fire as those two did last year. And lets face it, Walton sucks. He turns the ball over and doesn't score. He does play some solid D, but he can't make a shot to save his sorry arse. It's probably going to be Lucas considering how explosive he is and seeing how high his potential is.
Seeing our high caliber recruits come in is awesome! But, we all know that either one of them can be a dud. Just look at MSU's Bball recruiting history and look at how high or low ranked they were and where they are now. Ex: Naymick was a 4 star and all he did was get wide open dunks, block shots, and grab a few rebounds. Definitely not a star athlete.
My point being is that you can't get your hopes up too much for this season or any other season, because it will sometimes back fire on you. And some of us have learned that the hard way. Like going to school and talking up MSU with your Iowa friends at school is the dumbest thing you can ever do. Even though they didn't have much to come back with, considering all Iowa teams sucked this year.

erbrown, you definitely do make some good points. I, however think that you left out some key names as to who will step up in the clutch. Names such as Chris Allen and Durrell Summers. Chris Allen is a better shooter than Drew Neitzel was and Tom Izzo says that Durrell Summers is as athletic as Jason Richardson was and he definitely showed me sparks of potential throughout the year. As did Chris Allen.
Kalin Lucas has improved significantly throughout the past season and I personally think he will continue to get better and even have a chance of getting to the league.
Raymar Morgan had quite a few struggles this year but also showed that he has the ability to take over the whole game. I think Tom Izzo will get into him a little and strengthen his game so as to be a leader in the next couple of years.
Drew Naymick's main purpose was to be an enforcer on defense. I think he did just that by becoming, by far, the leader in blocked shots in Michigan State's history. It also always seemed like he provided a spark when we needed one.
All in all, it is just hard for me not to get my hopes up. My hopes are always high for the teams I like. Even the Detroit Lions lol. I just see all of the positive things and think it hard to not have my hopes high for the upcoming season...even with the possibility of them getting crushed.
GO STATE!!!!!

hey thats cool spartanmanaaron, positive 'tude. Whenever I get really excited for my team to do well and they end up playing well below my expectations, I become depressed you know. Not like oh my gosh, I can't live with myself, I'm committing suicide or anything like that; just upset, frustrated, and my friends beat on me some more.
It all goes back to seeing how poorly MSU basketball (and football) has executed in the past few years. They just played far below my expectations and maybe to some of the other Spartan fans.
This year might be a little better; as you know, I really don't want to get ahead of myself. With<nobr> </nobr> <nobr> </nobr> <nobr> </nobr>

I really don't think Allen or Summers can be that great of leaders. Allen just never seemed to be the pure shooter that I expected. And Summers didn't do much because he turned Izzo didn't play him enough and his defense is poor.

um...yeah...I don't know what happened with that. I'll try to tidy up the last 2 paragraphs in that message.
