Chezaroo,Gary Harris and Eron are friends and Izzo promised him that role.
Caris may leave after next year and Irvin/Chatman/MAAR/Jalen Coleman is a more talented group than Valentine/Ellis/Bess/Ahrens.
Except that we have 3 wing positions and they have 2 and Coleman is nowhere close to committing. So I don’t see how Sparty has more playing time available than we do at the moment. Harris’s only competition for a starting spot at this point is likely MAAR. I don’t see how that is a deterrent.
Will Coleman be the next …Harris, Booker, Blackmon, Bluiett, Kennard, Grandstaff?
To hae our on court success…that’s a lot of wings to miss out on…
oh but wait -doesn’t matter who we sign - we could sign anyone - – our staff can turn them into NBA guys…

MSU plays a stretch 4.
And no, Caris, Irvin and Chatman plus MAAR were his competition. It is not good to be biased.

I’m being biased? Caris is 95% going pro, Chatman will likely be the starting 4 and Irvin is clearly the starting 3. That leaves MAAR at the 2.
Sparty’s “stretch 4” is nowhere near the same as ours. They would never have Novak or GRIII playing at the 4.
Maybe he wasn’t afraid of competition.
Maybe he just liked Michigan States coaching staff better…or facilities better.
There is a ton of reasons why kids choose schools.
We didn’t close deal. They did.
Im sure Coleman cant find lots of places where he can get more palying time too.
Smh Ben… Relax… Harris is good but he’s not Jabari Parker… We will be fine
A ton of talent is on campus this weekend
Guestavo makes me laugh though… Raves about how good Caris is all year and he has been the only person expecting him back for his senior year… Everyone law thinks he’s out after this year
Competition being so important to your thinking makes me wonder how the world we landed MARR. He has stiff competition for playing time. Or is MARR different? Why? b/c hes not as good!!!
Some of you seem to struggle with perspective.
There is NO reason Harris should have assumed Caris is pro after 14-14, just like Brunson won’t assume Walton is gone. Do I believe Caris is gone? Sure. Does that have anything to do with Eron Harris? No.
93, Walton/Irvin/Chatman/Wilson/Donnal is a very realistic starting lineup 2 years out.
That starting lineup sounds damn good guestavo… I’m not worried about the program even if they landed no 2015 recruits… If they don’t have a good 2016 class then id be worried… As for now they have plenty of good young talent though
Quit assuming this is the reason.
You have NO idea whether or not it was about who he would compete for playing time against or not. Sometimes they could care less. ie…Kentucky players…and
How did we land Ty Isaac when we had backs already.

There is no way that will be the starting lineup. That team would get destroyed on the perimeter.
More importantly, if what you are saying is true then why did Harris ever consider us in the first place? The only thing that changed between his declaring his final 3 and making a commitment is he visited Sparty and Purdue. Our lineup now is the exact same as it was when he setup his visit to Ann Arbor. On the other hand, Sparty added Aherns and likely another transfer in Forbes so their roster has gotten even more crowded while ours stayed the same. Your “logic” is way off.
lol
Ben, I think your pessimism has carried too far and is digging you a hole that could look silly really quickly. I’d like to make a fake internet bet with you about the ‘16 class. I bet we end up with 3+ 4-star and/or June 15 offers (meaning coaches’ top pick at a position) in the '16 class. Bet?
Who said he seriously considered us or had us in pole positions (besides UM fans)?
No bet. I don’t like to bet against things I want.
That would be great - I guess that would mean we get all of :
pg= Thornton
2g - Coleman
F = Leaf
That be great. Hope we do.
He did. When you announce a top 3… all 3 would be seriously considered.

Are you 13 years old? I have never seen such a dramatic message board poster in my life. Good grief. So funny to read your takes on things.
Don’t we have a rule around here for no personal attacks?
I haven’t. You have.
