A billionaire MSU alumnus and benefactor tried to lure Izzo to the NBA 13 years ago and failed. What's different this time, though, is that the billionaire MSU alumnus and benefactor who may make a run at him is one of his former players.
Hoggard has two years of college eligibility left — his senior year and a potential fifth year the NCAA offers players whose seasons were cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2019-2020 season.
MSU has to get better in the low post if the Spartans plan to build on what they accomplished this year. This big in the transfer portal doesn't fit the typical Izzo mold, but MSU has reportedly reached out to him.
The Spartans stopped the bleeding from their humiliating collapse at Iowa and came back to beat Nebraska after nearly getting chased out of the gym early. But it was more of the same for MSU — wild inconsistency.
