Its ridiculous what the Izzo system does to these kids. Last summer I came back from watching an MSU scrimmage thinking that Dawson was already the best player on the team. Catching oops, dunking on Nix and whatever 4-star white dude, coast to coast, mid range. Izzo has his strategy not to play his freshman and make them go through upperclassman "right of passage." It hurt them last year. Not going to be able to do it as much this year because this is one of the youngest MSU teams I can remember.
Heard captains are Nix and Russ, doesn't say much about the leadership on the squad.
You thought Dawson wasn't given enough of an opportunity? I thought he did well and got enough of a chance before his injury.
Paulie, I don't know. haven't looked into it.
