What is Michigan State getting in new transfer Frankie Fidler? I spoke to a couple of Summit League coaches to find out about Fidler's game and how it might translate to the Big Ten mlive.com/spartans/2024/…
Can never say for sure in the portal era but seems like a good chance MSU's 2024-25 roster is now set. Here's a rough idea of how I see the lineup and depth (several of these guys will play multiple spots)
Frankie Fidler has committed to Michigan State. He's Michigan State's first portal addition in more than three years mlive.com/spartans/2024/…
BREAKING: Omaha transfer forward Frankie Fidler has committed to Michigan State, he tells @On3sports. The 6-7 junior averaged 20.1 PPG this season. on3.com/college/michig…
Some more notes from Izzo's The Game 730AM interview this week: * MSU's portal strategy * New asst. hiring timeline * Potential Sissoko destinations mlive.com/spartans/2024/…
A.J. Hoggard is going through the draft process while keeping his college eligibility for 2024-25. But Tom Izzo said definitively this week on @TheGame730AM that if Hoggard returns to college, it won't be at Michigan State mlive.com/spartans/2024/…
Omaha transfer Frankie Fidler won't be announcing his transfer destination this morning after all, per AM-1620 in Omaha. Visited MSU over the weekend. Wisconsin, Nebraska and Creighton are his other finalists.
Omaha transfer Frankie Fidler has cut his list to four schools, per his IG. Here are the schools he’s considering: Creighton Nebraska Michigan State Wisconsin He averaged 20.1PPG, 6.3RPG and 2.6APG this season.
Michigan State senior center Mady Sissoko enters transfer portal mlive.com/spartans/2024/…
Sources: Detroit will hire Michigan State's Mark Montgomery as its next head basketball coach.
Don't worry, I don't have an April Fools joke. Just a request for some offseason MSU hoops mailbag questions. State of the program, offseason priorities, best Big Ten bars or whatever else is on your mind. Send 'em my way via reply, DM or email and we'll talk about them.
Tom Izzo was resolute on Saturday night after an underachieving season as he vowed to make the corrections that need to be made: “I’m getting back to a deeper run in this tournament, or I’m going to die trying." mlive.com/spartans/2024/…
Tom Izzo took blame for what he called an underachieving team this year: “I’m really disappointed with me, that I didn’t do a better job. I’m not trying to take any heat off of them. I’ve just got to do a better job, and I’m going to do a better job.”
Both A.J. Hoggard and Mady Sissoko said they're undecided on their fifth years. Izzo, though, gave some indication: “I think Mady was set to stay and finish out. A.J. I think was set to go from the beginning.”
Xavier Booker: “I’m definitely coming back next season”
Michigan State falls apart late in NCAA Tournament loss to North Carolina mlive.com/spartans/2024/…
Harrison Ingram ties his career-high with 5 3-pointers. He was 7-for-27 from 3 in his last six games
Hoggard limping going into that TO but seems OK,not getting medical attention

It’s wedding time in Tennessee. I’ll be off for the next week-plus for the best of reasons. Could not be more thankful to be marrying this wonderful woman. Emily is a picture of the Lord’s kindness toward me.
I agree with Kyle that the roster is likely set but we’ll see.
Can never say for sure in the portal era but seems like a good chance MSU's 2024-25 roster is now set. Here's a rough idea of how I see the lineup and depth (several of these guys will play multiple spots)

@kylebaustin For sure. A bit of a “tweener”. Hoping a jump shot is an off-season priority. Could change everything for him. NBA guy potential.
@kylebaustin Kyle, Loyer/Purdue Christie/Minnesota Fears/Illinois Sibling Slump Any story here?
@kylebaustin What percentage is Fears right now and what is the expected timeline for a full recovery? Medical prognosis favorable by the beginning of the season?
@kylebaustin I fear that the C spot will remain the same next year, and XB will move to 4. The offensive ineptitude at 5 was a killer for this team. Are there any realistic options in the portal at the 5 you think Izzo may target or stand pat because he's stubborn?
@kylebaustin What will it take for Tre Holloman to be the number one option within the next two years, and does he have the ability to create for himself given the opportunity?
Whatever they say she did, she did it.
LSU coach Kim Mulkey says a Washington Post reporter has spent the past two years working on a negative story about her. “I will sue the Washington Post if they publish a false story about me."
@joerexrode @Graham_Couch @kylebaustin See you in LA?
@joerexrode @Graham_Couch @kylebaustin Sloppy Joe!
@kylebaustin Thanks for the article Kyle, guess I’ll be grateful we’re the first game!
I actually believe that Tom Izzo hasn't listened to music since 1977.
You can't have a Big Dance without some epic music. So I'm bringing it back. I asked all 68 coaches in the men's NCAA Tournament to name their favorite band/musical artists. The answers are incredible. Here are their picks, + the stories behind them🎸🎤⤵️ cbssports.com/college-basket…
