Miles Bridges’ decision to return to Michigan State for his sophomore year upset his mother, stunned his coach and made national headlines.
The dynamic Big 10 Freshman of the Year was projected a mid-to-late lottery pick after what figured as a one-and-done college career. Miles’ mother, Cynthia, was set to quit her job as a receptionist in Flint, Mich.
But Bridges returned to Lansing, saying he wanted to win an NCAA title. That didn’t happen and even his statistics suffered as a sophomore, his 3-point shot not as trustworthy.
And now the question is what impact Miles’ decision to stay in school will have on the 20-year-old’s draft stock come June 21.
