Dane is Dan's son (not brother), and was the last Clarkston player to win Mr. Basketball back in '98.  Dan and Dane's brother Duggan both played at Michigan, but Dane went to IU and captained the Hoosiers to the Championship game in '02 before they fell to Maryland.

Spurning the Wolverines for IU was bad enough (not sure what his recruitment was like but it would be hard for me to believe that UM wasn't after an in-state Mr. Basketball winning legacy), but going Sparty was worse.

Dane is dead to me now...  Lol.  I'm betting he is also job hunting...  That's why I'm still suprised papa Fife would send him there.  What a dumpster fire. 

I'm wondering if Dane might have had something to do with the Jackson benching...  I seem to remember some rumors that Jackson told him to suck his wang during the last Michigan game?

He is very deserving of this award. Seen him play numerous times. He can shoot it. I have no doubt in my mind DD will be a much better college player. I guess the writers didn’t want to embarrass Izzo by giving it to a Michigan commit two years in a row.

Wasn't Loyer the kid that the MHSSA suspended for the season because they said his family moved just so he could transfer to play somewhere else?  I mean, clearly, I have the name wrong...  But who was that kid - I believe he (whoever 'he' is) was also suppsoed to be an MSU lean.  Thought it was Loyer, but probably not...

is set to do a four year term under Izzo.

Johns and Dejulius will win B1G championships instead.

Not sure he is going to see any minutes for Izzo, since Winston has 2 more years.  I am sure he wil get relegated to "weird guys" status before too long for Izzo.

Ha! Just googled Loyer. He looks just like the guy who played Luther in 48 Hours and "Warriors come out and plaaayaaay," from The Warriors. That actor was cast specifically for his incredibly punchable face. Epic taunting potential.

is deserving of the award. Great career/season stats and team results. Analogy. Was Trey Burke the #1 draft pick in 2013? Nope. Not even close. Did he deserve all those awards. Yep. Every one.

Watched him play a few times. He’s all that at Cheatston High typically playing bad OAA Teams.

That being said, MSU can have Drew Neitsel, I-mean Foster Loyer. He’s probably going to get destroyed in college. He’s really short and not that quick. Shooting with 2 D1 Athletes 6-10inches taller than the schlubs he plays now will be a challenge for the little fella i wish him all the best in the NIT next year

...that he will follow in the footsteps of his high school coach and become a forgotten college player.
