Michigan State men’s basketball coach Tom Izzo announced that forward Ben Carter (6-9, 225) will join the Spartan program for the upcoming 2016-17 season as a graduate transfer.
“What struck me about Ben from the very first time I talked to him was that the most important thing to him was winning and being a part of a championship team,” said Izzo. “(Former UNLV interim) Coach (Todd) Simon felt Ben was one of the keys to their team last season before he was injured in January. He’s going to give us a bona fide 4-man, but once again, it’s his passion for winning that most impressed me.
