It was somewhat sloppy, but Michigan State men’s basketball ended the 2024 calendar year and its regular-season non-conference schedule with an 80-62 victory over Western Michigan.

"#AGTG Blessed to receive an offer from Michigan State University!"


I'm unsure what the offer is, whether a complete offer or PWO; Ryan can check on that.

Michigan State has secured the commitment of Kent State transfer wide receiver Chrishon McCray.

McCray received an offer from Michigan State on Dec. 9 and he visited campus on Dec. 12 and 13.

More:

2026 LB Jacob Savage recently picked up an offer from Michigan State after a conversation with DC/LBs coach Joe Rossi.

"I’ve been very impressed with coach Rossi as he has a high intensity and knowledge on the game."

"Indiana raising $13M in NIL funding in 2024 is wild. Same amount as Penn State.Great work by @CCignettiIU."​

NOTE: Breneman81 forgot Oregon should be at the top at $23 million. Unless he was talking about teams after Oregon

Four point play to take down Michigan by one. Love it.

Not only did she ruin these kids' lives, but I and other reporters caught hell for saying the facts did not add up.

We were called misogynists, racists, and haters and told we were "being uninformed about rape."

To this day, I do NOT believe all women; I believe all facts. PERIOD.

This is just a small sample of 2 teams that rose from the ashes in one short year. Both were bottom feeders in 2023 but are in the play offs one year later.
What will MSU have to do to get similar progress? I think they will have to hit the portal hard but will have to do an excellent evaluation of the type of talent they will need in order to make a major jump.
The incoming recruits do not appear to be instant impact players so JS and the staff will need to do so in the portal.
Your thoughts?

No. 20 Michigan State will return to the Breslin Center for the first time in two weeks as they face off against the Florida Atlantic Owls. MSU comes into this matchup with a 9-2 record and on a four-game winning streak. The Spartans will look to improve to 10-2 on the season before the holiday break.

What is on the menu for Christmas?

Extra points if you are cooking it yourself.

Mine is a red wine braised short rib. Extensively braised, with plenty of aromatics and some cremini mushrooms.

Some home made mash and carrots cooked in the braising liquid.
