Valentine named Big Ten player of the year. Rightfully so.

The Spartans have had a few days to recover since that first round tournament loss, but believe me, that game is going to sting forever. I feel bad for Denzel Valentine, who blamed himself for the loss and was devastated. He's been a great Spartan however.
Business goes on, and today it was announced that two Spartans, Javon Bess and Marvin Clark, were transferring. Both were role players on the Spartans this year, and were among those considered likely to transfer by followers of the program.
The first thing that comes to mind is that MSU now has a scholarship open for Josh Jackson, one of the top players in the class of 2016. If Izzo lands him, they probably have the top class in the nation. Scout has them ranked #3 in the nation right now.

I suppose there's no point in rehashing the reality, but it still amazes me that a guy who averaged 7.5 points and 5.5 rebounds is going pro after his freshman year--AND that he'll go in the first round.

I'm still not used to it. Heck, that Skal Labrissee (sp?) kid out of Kentucky had worse stats and a lot less impact than Davis in a weaker conference, and he is expected to go in the first round.

Nice article, thanks for posting it. I always wondered what happened to Marcus Taylor. I believe if he had played one more year in college he would've had a decent NNA career.

I think if he had stayed in school for four years he had a good shot of having an NBA career somewhere in between that of former Spartans Mateen Cleaves and Eric Snow.

Michigan State gets a commitment for the class of 2018 when Thomas Kithier commits to the Spartans.
Tom Izzo deserves a lot of credit for building the Michigan State brand to this level.

From Twitter:
Jon Rothstein @jonrothstein 30m30 minutes ago Michigan State's Ben Carter (knee) is probably a few weeks away from being cleared for full-contact activity, Tom Izzo told @cbssports.
