Lourawls 'Tum Tum' Nairn, one of the Gophers most prized targets, officially selected Michigan State on Thursday morning in front of students in the Sunrise Christian Academy [Kansas] gym.
The 2014 point guard was choosing between the Spartans, Minnesota, Indiana and Oklahoma. Michigan State arrived late to Nairn's recruitment, but offered immediate playing time and wooed the 5-11 guard quickly.
The Gophers are also currently recruiting point guard Riley LaChance, from Wisconsin. Minnesota is still waiting on its first 2014 recruit.
