Harris transferring to Michigan State from West Virginia

High-scoring guard Eron Harris is transferring to Michigan State from West Virginia.

His father, Eric Harris, said Monday that offers were turned down from Michigan, Wisconsin, Purdue and UCLA in part because of coach Tom Izzo's recruiting pitch.

Harris was the Mountaineers' second-leading scorer at 17.2 points per game last season and averaged a team-high 9.8 points the previous year as a freshman for coach Bob Huggins.
