Michigan State basketball just lost Deyonta Davis early to the NBA, missed out on prized recruit Josh Jackson and will be replacing seven players from the 2015-2016 squad.

But Tom Izzo said his fans shouldn't be worried.

"I've been amazed how many Spartan fans are panicking over that," Izzo said Wednesday on Staudt On Sports. "There's a lot of good players that we have here.. that, along with an incredible class coming in--don't feel sorry and don't jump off the bridge."
