Michigan State forward Branden Dawson is staying for his senior season.
Dawson made the choice after he and his mother met with coach Tom Izzo, who gathered information about the 6-foot-6 forward's NBA stock, after the Gary, Ind., native planned to return to school.
He averaged a career-high 11.2 points during the last regular season, and 16.3 points and 8.8 rebounds in the NCAA tournament.
