Chris Allen still in the East Lansing vicinity

PrintFile under "implicit good signs": Chris Allen is listed on a roster for the Lansing Moneyball Pro-Am League. This would be another sign (the first since Tom Izzo's "here for life" press conference) that Allen was not going to leave the MSU basketball program by his own choice. If he was going to, the time has passed.
This was, apparently, a case of Tom Izzo setting down expectations for Allen to meet that he had not been meeting during the past season. While Allen may be on a short leash, I think it's now safe to assume he'll be a part of next season's roster.
Other MSU players participating in the Moneyball league are Draymond Green, Durrell Summers, Korie Lucious, Derrick Nix, Garrick Sherman, Keith Appling, Alex Gauna, Austin Thornton, Mike Kebler, and Anthony Ianni. Former Spartans listed on rosters include Travis Walton, Idong Ibok, and Thomas Kelly. Trey Zeigler's name is also of note.
I've contemplated going to check out the pro-am action out in the past, but other summer activities have always precluded it. Games are played at Lansing Sexton High School on Saturdays and Sundays; admission is free. Games began on June 26 and run through August 1. (Anyone seen confirmation that Allen played the first weekend? Weekly participation tends to be somewhat sporadic, I think.)

Hooray
for that. Let’s put the past behind us now, guys, and finish walking down the path to glory you started on 3 years ago!!
I'm still a little pessimistic
Those rosters are so fluid that Allen could easily hop off if Izzo did give him the ax.
It’s still a good sign though.
Hosey posted the money ball rosters
like 2 weeks ago with Allen.
This is really get made out to be more then it needs to. Allen will be with MSU inless something really dramatic happens. Been saying it since this all started and nothings changed

Go Spartans
Yeah, we're a little late on this one
But grasping for whatever offseason news we can get.

Good, good, good!
Izzo is focused, Green looks focused, Nix looks focused, get Allen on board, look out!
Did you get the memo?
Looks like y’all didn’t get the whole “stop speculating” memo Izzo and Hollis (verbally) passed around during Izzo’s presser last month, eh?
7/10 play
It was reported over on the Red Cedar Message Board that Chris played yesterday and his three was falling freely. He also was on local tv last evening saying that the talk of transfering was just rumors.
