Sonoran Hot Reads: Josh Langford expected to play for Michigan State on Friday

The Spartans are getting a big piece back as well

It’s likely that the Arizona Wildcats will add Chance Comanche to their exhibition game lineup for Friday’s Armed Forces Classic, but the Michigan State Spartans are getting a player back as well. Tom Izzo says he expects freshman Josh Langford to be back for his team when they play Arizona in Honolulu. Langford, the 20th-ranked player in the 2016 class, did not play in MSU’s exhibitions. "He just brings another dimension to our team," Izzo said. "He can guard a lot of different people -- from 6-8 to 6-foot -- and he has a feel for the game that is very impressive."
