Michigan State Coach Mark Dantonio is set to welcome in at least a half dozen prospects on official visits this weekend. Almost all of visitors have already committed to the Spartans.
However Dantonio is hoping to land a commitment from tight end Dion Sims (Orchard Lake, Mich./St. Mary's) who will leave for his official visit to MSU right after his basketball game on Friday night. Dantonio is hoping the players who have already committed to the Spartans can convince Sims to join them.
When asked if he might commit to Dantonio this weekend," Sims said, "I don't know. But probably not."
The 6-foot-6 and 225-pound Sims also has an official visit scheduled to Miami Jan. 23, and brought up the possibility of visiting Ohio State Jan. 16.
Sims is the leading scorer on the St. Mary's basketball team and says he is interested in Wisconsin, Penn State, Iowa and Purdue for hoops, but those schools have not offered a scholarship to this point.
