Tom Izzo may just have his deepest team returning at Michigan State since taking over as head coach more than two decades ago.
Michigan State fell just short of its ultimate goal in 2018-19, losing in the Final Four to Texas Tech and that vaunted defense, but there’s a motivated squad coming back.
Gone as Kenny Goins and Matt McQuaid — for sure — but Nick Ward and Cassius Winston are still on the fence of NBA decisions. Will they both come back to make next year’s team the national title favorite? Will one? One thing is for sure, Winston is more likely to return than Ward.
