A 17 year old freshman would be disturbing.

Bob -

Is this kid a legit 6'8"?

I used the Google earlier to figure out wtf we were talking about...

6'5.5" barefoot
6'7" in shoes

That was from a USA basketball camp, so possibility that he has grown

closer to 6'7".. he is only 14, though. Apparently can handle the ball pretty well too.

Didn't look 6'8" to me. Not that I watched a video of some 14 year old freshman player.

East Lansing won. Izzo was there to watch.

Jeseus Izzo, can't you let the kid enjoy being in high school for one game?

Not sure if serious. If you are, don't ya think the kid really enjoyed that Izzo was there to watch him play ?

So if you just happen to be riding your bike at night past a school, you might stop in to check out some of the more athletic 14 year old boys?

yeah.. and hopefully they'll be red-faced and sweaty.. and then I can get a job writing about them for tRCMB and (gullible) people will actually pay money to read it..

from the Lansing State Urinal..

East Lansing freshman forward Brandon Johns has been named to the 2015-16 USA Basketball Men's Junior National Team.

Johns was one of 27 players under age 16 named to the roster and will have a chance to be part of the 2015 U16 National Team and 2016 U17 World Championship squad if the U.S qualifies for the U17 Worlds.

You must take great pride that you have also walked in the hallowed halls of ELHS.

You're a fine American.

probably Kinder.. however, Brad Jones from 12-15 years back ended up going to Colorado and has had a solid NFL career. Has a Super Bowl ring...

I remember Jones now that you mention him. I imagine it is tough for MSU to land these kids because they want to exprience somewhere new.

yeah - I think it's an "all or nothing" thing with a lot of East Lansing kids (athletes and non-athletes alike). They are either all in at MSU or pretty disinterested and want to see/experience something new and different.

by **DWags** Thu Jun 09, 2016 8:49 am

Jeff Smith would not ever help MSU. Trust me. He became persona non grata at the Duffy.
