A look at your 2015 - 2016 Spartan Basketball Roster - tSwill Writing Staff

A look at Michigan State in 2015-16, as of Sunday:

Seniors

Denzel Valentine, guard:  He can shoot, pass, rebound, play defense, and celebrate.

Matt Costello, center: He is tall and can shoot, rebound, and play defense close to the basket where the taller guys play.

Bryn Forbes, guard: He is a transfer and can shoot, rebound, and play some defense.  He is a good shooter.

Colby Wollenman, forward: He is a walk-on who is very tall from Montana. out west.

Juniors

Gavin Schilling, center:  He has a good body, and is tall.  He can shoot and catch the ball good.  He get fouls on him a lot.

Alvin Ellis, guard: I don't know much about this guy.  Probably can pass and catch pretty good as he is a guard.  He wears #3.

Eron Harris, guard: He is a transfer and is going to play this year more than he did last year.  Another guard, he is probably well spoken.

Sophomores

Lourawls "Tum Tum" Nairn, guard: He is a short guy from the Caribbean somewhere.  He can bounce the ball good, and pass but not shoot so good.  He is short so he will not play close to the basket much.

Javon Bess, guard: He is injured a lot this year so I didn't see much of him but I think he'll be a great one at passing the ball to others like Costello.

Marvin Clark, forward: He is a good player who wears #0.  He can shoot, dribble (bounce), pass, and defend.  Obviously a 4-tool player.

Freshmen

Kenny Goins, forward: He redshirted this season.  He doesn't play much but he might if he is good.

Deyonta Davis, forward: He is a big-time recruit that will play close to the basket like the other tall guys.  

Matt McQuaid, guard: He is not a 5-star so he will have to prove himself on the court.

Kyle Ahrens, guard: Also a non 5-star but probably has a strong motor, is a gym rat and has a high basketball IQ but may not be as well spoken as others.

Swanigan, forward: Almost forgot this guy, another tall guy who is very athletic and will probably make a lot of baskets.  He is a McDonalds All American (good get) who is committed to MSU.

Welp, that about covers our roster preview, stay tuned for further analysis as tSwill writing staff brings you more in-depth coverage of the MSU Spartans.

You forgot Swanigan. You're fired.

Our crystal balls are bigger than 247's.

This guy is worse than Mike Wilson.

Wollenman is from fucking Wyoming, better fix that before Roci sees it and soils his panties.

Can you give me a link to that post? I'll tweet it to 247

I feel like you guys aren't taking this seriously.

Keep it up SRC, you're kicking Mike Wilson's ass.

It's kind of in 2 parts in this gem of an analysis thread:

No excuses for this season. None. You don't go from basically 1 game away from the national championship to completely missing the tourney when you return all but 3 starters and add at least 4 freshmen.

Personally, I'd start with fife. Dude was a bad coach at iupu and never had the credentials to begin with. Good players rarely make good coaches. Next I'd ask izzo s old roommate to retire. He's too old, out of touch, and ineffective. Dantonio wasn't agreed to do this with saloman or his boy rouhar and never should izzo.

Quit pretending this isnt impossible. Otherwise take your optimist bs back to the blowerville that is trcmb and keep slurping izzos nuts and ban all the discentors

The Headline "2014-15" doesn't match the text "2015-16"

Gosh, you all want accuracy in reporting? This is the 2010's for fucks sake. I can't be asked to be accurate and STILL spend all day copying and pasting shit from social media.

Other than lighting a fire under our assistants asses, where was I wrong?? Hell I'm still the only real fan that predicted elite 8 in Feb. Only I have the kind of balls necessary

And in the post quoted above you predicted they would miss the tournament entirely.   There's nothing special about your predictive abilities when you throw every possible outcome on the wall then only point to the correct one whilst ignoring the 277 incorrect versions.

Also in the future please refrain from calling attention to your balls.

I can't believe I paid so little for this! Keen insights, hard hitting intellectual analysis, and the kind of bold and artistic imagery that can only be found in a VIP premium subscription at a site with a very discerning clientele such as ours. I feel premium now and I like it!
