The Trice family visited Michigan State on Tuesday. Wayne coach Travis Trice said Izzo told his son he expects him to play significantly as a freshman.
“I took it as hard work pays off and I’m a hard worker,” Trice told the Lansing (Mich.) State Journal. “Throughout the whole day I (thought) this is too good to be true. ... I got to spend time with the (players) and watched them work out. I was like ‘Man, I could see myself here.’ ”
Trice averaged 22.1 points, 4.9 assists and 4.2 steals for Wayne last season and also shot 43 percent from 3-point range. Trice has played on the AAU Indiana Elite since his freshman year, alongside 5-star forward Brandon Dawson of Gary, Ind., who also committed to the Spartans on Wednesday.
