MSU Freshies Turning Heads

The MSU men's basketball team held Media Day on Thursday afternoon at the Breslin Center. As head coach Tom Izzo enters his 22nd season, he finds himself ushering-in his top recruiting class ever! With so much talent coupled with a ton of youth, what are the realistic expectations for the team?

WKAR's Al Martin tries to answer that question, as well highlights an inspiring story from one particular member of the freshmen class.
