Bay City Western's Matt Costello makes it official by submitting letter of intent to Tom Izzo and Michigan State University basketball team

Matt Costello's commitment to the Michigan State University basketball team is now in writing. The Bay City Western basketball phenom signed and submitted his national letter of intent this morning, making his commitment to Tom Izzo's program official. "He set a goal to become a high-level Division I player years ago," Western coach Chris Watz said. "He signs a piece of paper today, and he's there." "It's a special thing that he's playing in our state, playing for an icon ... that's all good stuff for Matt and for our area." Costello, who verbally agreed to become a Spartan in Aug. 2010, becomes the first Division I player ever to come out of Bay City Western. The 6-foot-9, 235-pound senior has been on the Division I radar since the beginning of his high school days, drawing heavy interest from Michigan, Indiana and Southern Cal among others.
