MSU football keeps two key portal players; Courtney Hawkins kept on staff; Is MSU basketball cooked? Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

MSU football got two nice transfer portal wins in Ethan Boyd and Brandon Baldwin as both Spartans took their names out of the portal to stay in East Lansing. Why is this a nice win for MSU, and what does this mean moving forward for the portal season? Also, Courtney Hawkins is sticking around at MSU, Jacoby Windmon is in the portal and Sam Leavitt has found a new home.

We then dive into the mailbag to talk everything from why are so many kids entering the football portal despite Jonathan Smith bringing some stability to the wonderful MSU basketball team.

MSU football hiring Joe Rossi as DC; MSU recruiting news and notes; MSU basketball loses again Dec 11, 2023

Show notes

MSU hires defensive coordinator Joe Rossi from Minnesota in what could be Jonathan Smith’s most important staff addition in his tenure. What will Rossi bring to East Lansing, what is his track record and can we already start talking MSU football recruiting flips?

We also dig into the weekend of Michigan State recruiting with hearing from Nick Marsh and recapping a huge flip candidate in Brady Pretzlaff. Also, MSU saw a bump in transfers over the weekend - what will they all mean?

And finally, MSU basketball continues to disappoint as they are putting together another season where they’re just trying to avoid the NIT.

MSU football defensive coordinator watch; Dante Moore or Aidan Chiles; MSU basketball concerns Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

MAIL BAG TIME! As we still wait for MSU's next defensive coordinator to be named, we ponder if Jimmy Lake would take the job and when it would be made official in our hypothetical world. Also, we hit on mailbag questions on Aidan Chiles vs. Dante Moore, what else needs to be filled out on Jonathan Smith's staff and who else fills out this quarterbacks room?

And we also take on basketball questions on Tom Izzo getting title No. 2, when we should start worrying about MSU making the tournament and more.

MSU basketball outplayed again; Breaking down Jonathan Smith, Aidan Chiles and MSU football Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

Another day, another loss by this completely underwhelming and frustrating MSU basketball team. From the coaching from Tom Izzo to the play by senior players, everyone is to blame for this historically bad start for a top five team.

We then try to pick up the mood with Chase Glasser of Spartans Illustrated as we look into the Jonathan Smith era and the potential Aidan Chiles era too.

MSU football getting top QB Aidan Chiles?; MSU basketball vs. Wisconsin preview; MSU recruiting news Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

With Oregon State quarterback Aidan Chiles entering the portal, there's plenty of smoke blowing over East Lansing's way. What would he mean to Jonathan Smith's new MSU football program, and what other names are we looking at in the portal?

We also throw another name out there for defensive coordinator in former Washington coach Jimmy Lake. Also, some MSU football recruiting news as Brady Pretzlaff is officially visiting this weekend.

And finally, MSU basketball takes the court again against a strong Wisconsin team that's fresh off a win vs. Marquette.

MSU football concerns going into transfer portal season; College Football Playoff seeding reaction Dec 03, 2023

Show notes

Ahead of what will be an insane transfer portal season for college football, we look at three concerns we have about MSU heading into the week. Is the offensive line going to make it out OK, and what on earth is the plan for MSU at quarterback?

Also we head into the mailbag where we debate if renewing season tickets is crazy or if we were better off Mel Tucker leaving in 2021.

And finally...Florida State got screwed, but the committee got it right.

Is MSU football a landing spot for Dante Moore, DJ Uiagalelei? Good news in MSU football recruiting Dec 01, 2023

Show notes

With Dante Moore and DJ Uiagalelei entering the transfer portal, does Michigan State make sense for either of them, and what will the interest even be on both sides? And what position group are we starting to get a little concerned with when it comes to transfer portal departures?

We also get into the possible good news of Anthony "Scoota" Carrie re-committing before Brian Smith joins to the show to talk Jonathan Smith, defensive coordinators and possible flips in a conversation that's all things recruiting.

MSU football: Jonathan Smith's Oregon State exit, how he rebuilt Oregon State & DJ Uiagalelei Nov 30, 2023

Show notes

Fun show today as college football analyst and former quarterback Max Browne joins to talk all things Jonathan Smith and Michigan State football. We get into Jonathan Smith’s Oregon State exit, what he will bring to Michigan State football and how DJ Uiagalelei was able to progress last season. Also, what can Aidan Chiles bring to a team and was last year’s sample size enough to get excited about him? And yes, we do a Taylor Swift-themed game at the end. Just trust us on this one.

But first…MSU football sees two more players enter the transfer portal as Derrick Harmon is the latest name to test the transfer waters.
