U-D Jesuit's Winston says weekend visit sold him on MSU

Cassius Winston remembers the first time Michigan State coach Tom Izzo saw him play basketball at U-D Jesuit.

“Freshman year he walked into one of these games and the place just went crazy,” Winston said. “You know: ‘Tom Izzo in the gym . . . Tom Izzo in the gym.’ I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know him, but after that game he constantly kept showing up, showing up, showing his face.”

For the next four years, Winston will show his face at MSU.

Winston, a 6-foot, 185-pound point guard, committed to MSU on Friday afternoon at U-D Jesuit’s homecoming pep rally.
