THE NEXT GENERATION

MSU will welcome guards Chris Allen, Kalin Lucas and Durrell Summers, along with talented walk-on guard Austin Thornton,
this fall. In 2008, MSU has verbal commitments from guard Korie Lucious, forward Draymond Green and forward Delvon Roe, a consensus top-10 player nationally.

And in 2009, the Spartans expect to add four players. Tom Izzo and his staff are pursuing several candidates, including...

• Dexter Strickland, 6-3 guard, Elizabeth, N.J., ranked No. 11 nationally by Rivals.com.
