  • A look at Michigan State’s loaded frontcourt

    For Michigan State basketball coach, Tom Izzo, he may have a problem that most coaches would love to have, multiple quality big men and not enough playing time to go around. The Spartans are returning starter Nick Ward, Ben Carter and Gavin Schilling from injury, reserve player Kenny Goins and also have two incoming freshmen, Jaren Jackson and Xavier Tillman.

  • How Did Michigan State Basketball’s 2013 Recruiting Class Pan Out?

    Michigan State entered the 2013-14 season with extremely high expectations as one of the picks to win it all. With that being said, the incoming recruiting class was not expected to make a big splash right away. However, as the years went one each player made some form of impact and while it wasn’t a dominant class it had it’s bright spots. And there’s still time for it to improve its stock with one player from the class still on the roster.

  • Way-too-early frontcourt preview for 2017-18

    The 2017-18 Michigan State basketball team will look a lot different than the one that took the court in last year’s NCAA Tournament. While the Spartans only lost one player that played significant minutes in a tournament game (Alvin Ellis III), they’ll go from one of the shortest teams in the country (ranked 289th in average height according to KenPom) to likely somewhere in the top 100.

  • Michigan State will feature best front court in Big Ten next season

    Last year Michigan State was dominated on the boards often. Teams like Purdue simply had too much size for the Spartans to keep up. That’s why Michigan State lived and died with the three ball. That won’t be the case next year in East Lansing.

  • Couch: Ben Carter’s 6th year creates intriguing logjam for Spartans

    Eighty minutes per game to be had. Six big men to split those minutes. Imagine if Michigan State had also landed 6-foot-11 recruit Brandon McCoy. Nick Ward might have wound up at shooting guard next season.

  • Gavin Schilling says he will ‘100 percent’ be back for a fifth year at Michigan State

    First of all, he says he will “100 percent” be back for a fifth year at Michigan State. A few things had to happen for that. One, MSU coach Tom Izzo had to offer Schilling a roster spot. Two, Schilling had to want to stay, opting not to depart Michigan State as a graduate transfer and play immediately elsewhere. On Thursday, Schilling said: “I’ll be back and I can’t wait to get back out there.” As for his surgically repaired knee, Schilling said he’s at “85 percent.” He spent the entire 2017-18 season rehabbing and is just now back to lifting weights.

  • Couch: Schilling, Carter try to be helpful while eyeing 2017-18

    The mere presence of Gavin Schilling and Ben Carter is almost cruel to Michigan State’s basketball team. Especially these days, when the Spartans’ two injured big men appear to be fairly able-bodied. They aren’t yet. Even if they can walk and dunk and shoot.
