UNLV transfer Ben Carter commits to Michigan State
Tom Izzo is getting his hands on another grizzled veteran.
Former UNLV forward Ben Carter announced Wednesday that he will head to Michigan State as a graduate transfer and finish his college career with the Spartans.
For those who have been waiting for my announcement. I'll be heading to Michigan state next season to finish my college career.

Carter averaged 8.6 points and six rebounds last season but tore his ACL at the beginning of February, which wiped out the rest of his campaign. If healthy next year, Carter could conceivably step into the role left void by graduated senior Matt Costello, who produced similar numbers in similar minutes to Carter.
The Spartans will represent Carter's third collegiate team. He began his career with Oregon State before transferring to UNLV.
