Heavier Marcus Bingham Jr. ready to fulfill expectations at Michigan State

Dimondale, Mich. -- Marcus Bingham Jr. had a chance to mimic some of the Big Ten’s top players last season as a member of Michigan State’s scout team.

He hopes to someday become one.

The first step for the Spartans sophomore is an offseason of putting on weight, hitting the training table and getting in the weight room about four times a week.

It appears to be a success so far, as the Grand Rapids native said he checks in at the 225-227 range on his daily weigh-ins after arriving in East Lansing last summer under 200 pounds.
