A LOT HAS BEEN MADE OF TOP-FLIGHT RECRUIT DELVON ROE AND WHETHER OR NOT HE'LL CHOOSE MICHIGAN STATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON... ROE WAS IN MICHIGAN SATURDAY FOR AN ALL-STAR GAME ...
ALONGSIDE A FEW DEFINITE FUTURE SPARTANS... INCLUDING AUSTIN THORNTON OF CEDAR SPRINGS MICHIGAN. AS THORNTON TOLD US THIS WEEKEND, HE PASSED ON A FEW SCHOLARSHIPS TO PURSUE HIS DREAM OF WEARING THE GREEN AND WHITE AS A WALK-ON AT MICHIGAN STATE.

"Ultimately it was just my ultimate dream to play at the highest level. There's a lot of great schools that recruited me, but I didn't want to sell myself short. I felt like I worked hard enough and had the ability to play at the highest level and that's what I want to do," Thornton said.
