Michigan State had 2 major NBA prospects this year. Gary Harris already declared earlier this week, but MSU just announced that Branden Dawson would be returning for his senior season in East Lansing. With the losses of Keith Appling, Gary Harris, and Adreian Payne, this is major news. The Spartans could be in for a rebuilding here, but this is a big boost toward that effort and maybe next season will be better than some thought.
