Remembering Ron Charles Of The Great Michigan State ’79 Title Team

Though they struggled at times during the not so important “reg,” thus deflating their record, the Eearvin Johnson/Greg Kelser led 1978-1979 Michigan State college basketball title team was an all-time great one.

Sadly, Ron Charles, one of the team’s key players has died at the age of 65.

He was the sixth man on that great ’79 title team, which roared through the NCAA event, now more than 45 years ago.
