We are just days away from Michigan State opening up their 2011-12 season on an aircraft carrier in San Diego against the University of North Carolina.
The 2011-12 season for the Spartans is a new era of sorts. They enter in the season unranked and revamped. Gone are pieces to a 2010-11 team that tremendously underachieved while new faces bask the program looking to build and grow making Michigan State basketball the program it’s capable of being.
With that said, here are various links highlighting the upcoming Spartan season…
- Joe Rexrode of the Lansing State Journal previews the Spartans’ upcoming season, taking a look at some of those freshman and transfers joining Michigan State this season.
- In what may be one of the more obvious statements by the Lansing State Journal, they write that if the Spartans find success, the players will jell just fine.
- Bay City Western basketball phenom Matt Costello has officially signed his letter of intent to attend Michigan State University next year. Costello becomes the first Division I player ever to come out of Bay City Western.
- David Mayo of the Grand Rapids Press takes a look at Spartan freshman Branden Dawson’s biggest task on Friday, which is containing Tar Heel’s star Harrison Barnes.
