The Final Four Is Not On The Schedule - A Podcast Discussing Michigan State Basketball.

July 29, 2026: In this new portal era of college sports, one could be forgiven in overlooking the importance of high school recruiting. Michigan State, however, has not given up on development and restocking its ranks with top 100 talent. This years class was one of Izzo’s best, and we wouldn’t expect next year to be nearly as big.

However, even with a smaller class, next year’s could be very important in the Spartans’ success through the early 2030s. We discuss in the show how this year seems to be very delayed in getting rolling but now the offers are coming in and the landscape for MSU is starting to look clearer.

July 24, 2026: Michigan State literately and figuratively added some size in their freshmen class with 5* Ethan Taylor from Kansas. Taylor is a 7’ big man who can run the floor. He brings athleticism and touch around the rim for MSU and looks to have an important role on this year’s team.

Taylor played at Link Academy last year alongside fellow freshman, Carlos Medlock, Jr. With the Spartans fielding a number of questions at the 5 this year, it is anyone’s guess as to how much Taylor will play. But it seems increasingly likely that MSU fans will have a chance to watch a decent number of minutes at the 5.

July 17, 2026: With the graduation of MSU’s interior presence in Jaxon Kohler and Carson Cooper, Izzo and his staff felt the need to get an additional size to help in the middle. And boy did they find it in 7’3” center, Anton Bonke from Charlotte. Bonke has had quite the journey to East Lansing which began on the small Pacific island country of Vanuatu and travelled to JUCO in Arizona and then Providence and Charlotte.

Bonke brings size that rarely makes onto Michigan State’s bench since they require everyone to defend the pick and roll and run the floor. Bonke can bring that in addition to an outside shot which can stretch the defenses this year.

July 10, 2026: Kaleb Glenn had a rough start to his MSU career by rupturing his patellar tendon before the season started last year. That injury required surgery and caused Glenn to miss the entire year. Although he was back to practicing in February, he never had a chance to make it onto the court during an actual game.

This season, the FAU transfer is hoping to make quite the splash with his ability to play both inside and out and guard 1-4 on the defense.

While the circumstances for Michigan’s head man leaving Ann Arbor weren’t entirely shocking to us, the timing certainly came as a surprise. Word was out that he had a contract extension all ready to be signed in April but strangely they were going to wait until July to get it done. Whether the delay was due to May waiting to see what jobs were available or if that was the UM athletic department’s decision is not yet clear. We discuss what this means for their program and some of the factors leading up to May’s decision.

July 1, 2026: An annual summer rite of passage for every Michigan State Spartan is playing in the local pro-am league - Moneyball. It allows fans an early look at new players and where current players have changed their body or added to their game. There are a lot of things you can’t take from these games - whether someone can defend or rebound - but how the players have worked to add muscle or moves to their game is definitely one you can.

In addition to our observations on MSU’s personnel heading into next season, we also spend some time talking about the two new high school recruiting offers by Tom Izzo.

While the circumstances for Michigan’s head man leaving Ann Arbor weren’t entirely shocking to us, the timing certainly came as a surprise.
