    Chapter 14 - Conner George 14-2 - Spartan Years (2018-2019) - Redshirt Junior Season Conner George With the Spartans 2018-19 season approaching and three seasons (redshirt, redshirt freshman, and redshirt sophomore) of experience under his belt, George continued to work hard to play a key role on the Spartans squad, especially with the team’s new mix of players, given the loss of five players (three to graduation plus both Miles Bridges and Jaren Jackson, Jr. to the NBA) and the addition of an incoming freshman class of five new players. However, before the start of the 2018-19 season, The Black Sheep MSU, was again up to its “fake news” reporting with breaking news that the “Phoenix Suns planned to select Conner George with the first pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.” With this now being the third time that Conner was the “butt” of a Black Sheep article, a now tough-skinned George took the ribbing in stride and tweeted the perfect comeback: “First of all I just want like to thank God…” 2018-19 Going into his third season of NCAA eligibility (redshirt junior), George was listed in his MSU bio at 6’4”, 200 pounds. The Spartans’ team composition for the 2018-19 season changed significantly from 2017-18 season between departures (those who graduated or left early to enter NBA) and the incoming 2018 Recruiting Class (see team roster at bottom of next page). 2018-19 Spartans Men’s Basketball Squad (#41 Conner George) While George is listed as a Guard, in games he normally plays on the left or right wing (as forward), with the guard position covered by the starters (Cassius Winston and Josh Langford) or subs (Kyle Ahrens, freshman Foster Loyer, or Jack Hoiberg), leaving George with the challenge of competing for playing time at forward with taller players: starters Matt McQuaid (6’5”) and Kenny Goins (6’6”), 6’9” Xavier Tillman who also backs up center Nick Ward, and four freshman all listed at forward: Aaron Henry (6’6’), Gabe Brown (6’7”), Thomas Kithier (6’8”), and Marcus Bingham (6’10”).

  • From Okemos High to Michigan State: Bill Beekman's Journey From
    From Okemos High to Michigan State: Bill Beekman’s Journey from Chieftain Brave to Spartan Top Jock By Kerry J. Byrnes (Okemos High Class of ’63) Over the past 35 years (1985-2020), William “Bill” Beekman, 1985 graduate of Okemos High School (OHS) rose from a Michigan State University (MSU) new hire in 1995 to holding one of that university’s highest leadership positions. After graduating from OHS, and having completed several academic degrees, Beekman landed a job at MSU as the first step on a journey that, within 25 years, would lead him to becoming that university’s newest Athletic Director, in effect, the Spartan “Top Jock” responsible for leading one of America’s largest athletic programs comprised of 25 sports and 800 student-athletes. But just a year or so on the new job Beekman would suddenly be confronted by two of the biggest challenges of his life. Drawing on several quoted sources, this article looks back on the life of Bill Beekman, how his journey brought him to Michigan State University, and how he now continues to lead, just as he did in high school, with brain over brawn to build Sparty’s “blue blood” credentials in university-level athletics. William Russell Beekman Michigan State University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Okemos High School William “Bill” Beekman, the son of Edward and Kay Beekman, was born on May 14, 1967. He graduated from Okemos High School in 1985. Bill Beekman Class Photos (Okemos High Tomahawk 1982 - 1985) Interestingly, while in high school, Beekman’s only participation in competitive athletics was running on the Chieftain’s cross country team in the fall of 1984 during his senior year.
