Drew Timme will be one of those guys who other teams cannot stand just because he does a little of everything, and it’s all done effectively. He can shoot, he can pass, he can put the ball on the floor, play back to the basket, dribble and bully opponents down low. He’s that Draymond Green-type of player who if he’s on your team, you love him, but hate him if he’s not — Mo Wagner was the same way.

Michigan State has been gaining ground with the four-star big man from Texas and it could come down to whether he wants to stay close to home (Texas A&M) or venture north.

Duke was considered one of the favorites, but the Blue Devils didn’t make his list of top schools a couple of months ago. The Spartans seem to be in the driver’s seat here, but it all depends on whether Tom Izzo is willing to take him or wait for some other bigs in the class to decide.

Timme stands 6-foot-9 and weighs in at about 210 pounds. His style is Matt Costello-esque with more tools. He plays aggressive at the basket like Costello did but he can do a little more of everything.

The Texas-native is ranked the No. 41 player in the class and 11th-best center, according to the 247Sports‘ composite.
