Sources indicate prized 6’10 center will choose Spartans over West Virginia, others tonight

Sources out of Michigan are confirming to NBE that Dayton (Jefferson) Ohio’s Adreian Payne will verbal to Michigan State this evening.

We made some calls following Dave Telep’s Da Vinci Code-type tweet that his read on the situation was that Payne would be heading to play for Tom Izzzo and were able to confirm that the five-star center will indeed be putting on a Spartans hat this evening when he holds a press conference at Jefferson High School.

Here’s Telep’s tweet — etatsnagchimotenyapnaierda — hint: read it backwards.

Payne is a 6’11 monster with incredible athleticism and the thought here at NBE was he would be best suited to go with either MSU or West Virginia. Payne’s love for the game is questioned by some but his talent is undeniable — both Izzo and Huggins would do wonders with him.

We do believe that his final two were indeed MSU and West Virginia despite reports to the contrary.

Payne could be the piece that gets Izzo another NCAA Championship — he’s that capable of being dominant should he put the work in. Under Izzo, he will (he’ll have no choice).
