Fans are encouraged by a potential 2017-18 roster with Bridges present, making the Spartans one of few national title favorites. Don’t worry, though, because Bridges is well aware that his presence would give Michigan State a real chance to win it all.
Miles Bridges says he's happy to be in position. " I have the chance to live out my dream but I also have another chance to win a title."

It’s a win-win situation for the Flint-native. If he leaves for the NBA, he could live out his dream of playing in the league and be a potential lottery pick. If he stays, he could play with some of his best friends and contend for that national title he always wanted.
Fortunately, he has some high-quality people helping him through the process, but in the end, he’s going to make the decision that’s best for him. It’s refreshing to see that he realizes there are positives to both scenarios, though.
