This was true again this past weekend as the <a href=\"http:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/michigan-state-basketball-2023-class-best-program-history\/\">Michigan State basketball<\/a> signee won the Ballislife All-American dunk contest.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Coen Carr won the Ballislife All American Dunk Contest!!? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CrossoverCultur?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@crossovercultur<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/crossoverculture?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#crossoverculture<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lrZuRqydws\">pic.twitter.com\/lrZuRqydws<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ballislife.com (@Ballislife) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ballislife\/status\/1655219937303216128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 7, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is just another event that Coen has won. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every dunk contest Coen has entered, he has won and he is going to bring that to East Lansing next year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xavier Booker and Jeremy Fears might come up in a discussion before Carr does but he has a chance to be special at Michigan State. I&#8217;m not saying that Booker and Fears are not going to be because they should be discussed but if you want to look for the most electric athlete coming to Michigan State basketball next year, that answer is Carr. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does Coen Carr bring to Michigan State? <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carr brings athleticism, the likes Michigan State has not seen since Brandon Dawson. If he gets a consistent jump shot, he will not be at Michigan State for all four years. Even if Carr doesn\u2019t get that consistent jump shot, you are going to see high-flying dunks every night while he&#8217;s at Michigan State. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have already seen a connection being formed being Fears and Carr as they played well together this past weekend. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Fears&#8217; vision and Coen\u2019s ability to get up, we will be seeing quite a few back-door dunks like we saw when Dawson and even Miles Bridges were at Michigan State.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Coen is not being talked about enough but he is going to make an immediate impact once he gets to Michigan State especially if he can play good defense and makes teams respect his jump shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This recruiting class coming in is already bringing excitement to Michigan State and the performances at the dunk contest and the athleticism that Carr has been showing is building even more excitement for Spartan basketball next year.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coen Carr might not be human.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":3690,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[291,190,189],"class_list":["post-3678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fb-recruiting","tag-coen-carr","tag-michigan-state-basketball","tag-michigan-state-spartans"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
