When you see “6-11, 235 pounds” on the roster next to Marcus Bingham Jr.’s name, you’re probably led to believe that’s either a typo or an extremely generous weight.
The slim forward from Grand Rapids, Mich., came to Michigan State looking like he weighed around 200 pounds for a 6-foot-11 big man and didn’t exactly grow a ton throughout his freshman season. Actually, that’s why he didn’t play much despite having sky-high potential as a raw four-star recruit.
There’s talk, however, that he’s been adding weight this offseason and that’s led to speculation that he could take over in the post as a four, or five, next to Xavier Tillman.
