Facebook-originated information of the not-so-creepy variety

Msu_team_photo_medium

The official Michigan State Spartans Facebook page posted a couple pictures from today's basketball team photo session, one of which is displayed above.  New information that can be gathered from this photo:

  • Zach Randolph's number will not be retired.  Derrick Nix will wear #50.
  • Same thing for Marquise Gray's number.  Garrick Sherman will wear #41.
  • There's one other new face in the photo (among the guys wearing basketball uniforms): #44.  My internet sleuthing indicates this is former Okemos High School standout Anthony Ianni.  (It's also mentioned here, but I sleuthed it out on my own before I saw that.  Trust me.  Really.)  Ianni played two years of basketball at Grand Valley, appearing in 27 games last season and averaging 8.9 minutes and 3.3 points per game for the Lakers.  At 6'10" and 239 pounds, Mr. Ianni will presumably be a very handy guy to have around for practices.
  • Tom Herzog looks just a tad beefier, wouldn't you say?

OK, back to the football talk.

Herzog does look like he has muscled up. What I find intriguing is that there are 15 guys in uniforms and 19 in suits. Is this the standard ratio in college sports these days?

Numbers?!!!

Can anyone explain why there are 15 guys in uniform and 19 guys in suits? Seriously, has the game changed that much?

Ianni

By the way is that Anothony Ianni’s son? Director of facilities?

1. I think most of the suits are student assistants of some sort, but, yes, today’s basketball player requires a lot of attention.

2. Anthony is the son of Greg Ianni.

I don’t see any large protective gear on Korie’s foot. Any update? I haven’t heard anything?

WAIT

…Garrick Sherman’s a WHITE guy?

Revisiting this picture, was it necessary to put Draymond Green between Herzog and Sherman? Makes him look like a point guard.
