As if Drew Neitzel didn’t have enough on his plate. The now senior guard will be trying to guide the Spartans back to the Final Four and even the National Championship with one of the most stellar recruiting classes in recent years, but now there is one more thing that the All-American will now try to do. He has been invited, according to Michigan State University, to try out for the USA Basketball Pan American Team.
Neitzel would not be the first Spartan to represent MSU on the squad. In 2003 Tom Izzo served as coach, and Chris Hill made the team. He will try out to compete against other top college players for the games this summer. The games are July 25th to 29th.
Let’s all hope the Neitzel can not only make the team, but also represent the Spartans well as others have done in the past. I’m not sure if the games will be televised, but updates will be posted on Spartan Sports Unleashed as they continue to come in for the Pan American Games. Good Luck Drew, and Go Green.
