It would depend on how much he's improved since high school. Could be worth grabbing for a year based on size alone, which we severely lack. Ray did not offer out of high school, which was a good decision at the time based on what I'd seen.

One thing a big man considering the Titans can count on is an legit opportunity to compete for a starting job. The minutes are there, and we no incumbents in the front court who could be scaring anyone away.

I like a guy with confidence, and his points about starting in D1 as a freshman and his D1 offers are legit. The team accomplishments don't really tie in to his personal ability, of course, but he probably got better going up against those talented teammates and developing under the coaching of Izzo, Stephens, etc. I would hope we have reached out to him.

You figure Steve Bell would have mentioned us if we were involved since we're the local guys

You gotta trust the coaches on this stuff, and maybe Burke just has zero interest in us. But it does make me wonder—from our published offers (and yes, we know there’s lots of other stuff going on) we’ve got almost no bigs in the mix; we desperately need a big, and here’s a home state seven footer from MSU that we’re not reaching out to? If that’s the case, gotta wonder. In the end, Coach will be judged by who he does bring in, and hopefully he’s got better options. But from our very limited vantage point, it’s curious.

I've already gone on record as saying that we should be looking at him based on size alone. That said, the highlight reel did very little for me. 3 years worth of MSU practices and I just watched a highlight video of a 7 footer that included zero dunks and half the shots were low(er) percentage hook shots down low. I have a feeling he's remained the same player that I saw back in high school. Played very small for his size back then. I'll trust the coaches on this one.

Good pick up for the Spartans. This young man is ranked right around 100 in the class of 2021. Izzo likes snagging the hot prospects in Detroit and the Saginaw Valley.
