Michigan State is at the top of a few early projections for the 2019-20 college basketball season, on the strength of who the Spartans are returning.

That starts with star point guard Cassius Winston, who announced recently he'd be coming back for his senior season. It also includes rising sophomore Aaron Henry, who NCAA.com correspondent Andy Katz listed among his 11 "rising stars to watch" for next season.

The 6-foot-6 Henry started 22 games as a freshman, averaging 6.1 points and 3.8 rebounds, and was a solid defender as the Spartans won the Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles and reached the Final Four.
