Gary Harris is participating in staff-supervised workouts allowed by the NCAA after dealing with shoulder injuries while capturing Big Ten freshman of the year honors last season. Harris elected to avoid surgery on his left shoulder after spraining it in November and seeing it nag him throughout the season. Tom Izzo had said that was "a good decision," and now he's seeing the benefits of it as the Spartans prepare for a national title run.

"I think Coach Izzo does a really good job as far as the physicality of the game," Cleaves told 95.7 The Game. "It doesn't bother the Michigan State guys, and he runs pro sets, so it's not like a dropoff when you come in there."

Speculation is that the 6-8, 240-pounder is only seriously considering Kentucky and Michigan State. Alexander, however, shot that notion down. 'That's not true at all,' Alexander. 'All lies. All lies. I hear it on Twitter and everything, but that's just people talking to be talking.'

"He is the complete package as a college shooting guard," college basketball writer Mike DeCourcy wrote. "The 6-4 size, the cool demeanor, the sweet-as-you-please perimeter jump shot. If Harris is to belong at the top of this list, however, he will need to begin playing more frequently like a top-of-the-line player. Some television analysts would say he needs to be 'more selfish,' but that's a total misnomer. His primary job as a shooting guard is to score points. Often he did, sometimes he didn't. It’s not 'selfish' to do your job. It's your job."

Just because Michigan State loses only one starter off a team that went to the Sweet 16 doesn't mean the Spartans won't have to tweak how they play without graduated center Derrick Nix.

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo and his staff have made scouting trips, scholarships offers and in-home visits to some of the top prospects in the 2014 recruiting class. Now comes the wait, as the Spartans will likely see the leaves change color before blue-chippers like Jahlil Okafor, Tyus Jones and Cliff Alexander reveal their final choices.

From 1 to 100 — including No. 1 and No. 100, in fact — I can’t remember a Michigan State basketball recruiting summer like this one. After a 2013-14 season that has a reasonable chance of ending in Jerryworld with a shot at a national title, Tom Izzo’s program will lose a lot of talent. Probably a lot lot (Gary Harris to go with Adreian Payne and Keith Appling). And maybe a lot lot lot (if Branden Dawson makes a big jump and is ready after his junior season).

Kentucky coach John Calipari since the end of last season has not shied away from talking about the idea that the Wildcats will shoot for an unprecedented 40-0 season. "My point being, 'Why not now?'" Calipari told Gregg Doyel on Kentucky Sports Radio earlier this week. "We're going to have Michigan State with everybody back. We could get bossed our third game. It doesn't matter. It's what you're striving for."

Keith Appling and Adreian Payne have gone to three NCAA tournaments in as many years during their Michigan State careers, including two straight Sweet 16 appearances. Both the Spartans' leading scorer and rebounder are back for their senior campaigns, leading to preseason expectations that are naturally high.
