I have been out of coaching for 7 years and @espn has given me the opportunity to visit and get to know 💯s of great young men from all over the country and I can honestly say that Josh Langford could be my all time favorite. I’m sick to hear this news. @MSU_Basketball

Izzo says Cassius Winston and Xavier Tillman "were shocked" at the news about Langford's injury. Izzo said he cried last night with Langford, calling him "a generational guy." "He's loved by those guys." Says he has not been practicing for a couple weeks.

There is not a better young man in the game. So sorry for Langford. He will have an amazing attitude, as always. https://t.co/GMczEqR93k

Going to cut off my foot and give it to Josh Langford. It’s a risky operation but it’ll be worth it

Watching the @BigTenNetwork and sad news from @MSU_Basketball as Tom Izzo announces that Joshua Langford’s foot injury has popped up again. He’ll be out until January and perhaps the rest of the year. I always tune in for Press Conferences with my guy @ColeyHarvey and this! Sad.

In breaking the news that Joshua Langford will be out until at least January, and then will be reevaluated at the time, Izzo was as emotional as I have ever seen him at a podium in 25 years.

Extremely sad news. Langford has done everything he can for this team off and on the floor. Such a great leader and hope he comes back stronger than ever in January 🙏 https://t.co/YBJxazFfFI

I feel like breaking things. Just want to see the real Joshua Langford on the court again. Dude has the ability to be a big-time game-changer and stupid injuries keep derailing his potential. Incredibly frustrating.
