Reading Time: 2 minutesThis is part two to my deep dives into Michigan State recruiting part 1 was on football. In this article I will give my predictions for MSU’s top basketball recruiting targets. Recently, MSU was able to land what most people are saying is the best high school prospect since LeBron James in 5 star, SF, Emoni Bates for the 2022 class.

Reading Time: 2 minutes“I’m not sure what the future may hold, but as of now, I’m committing to Michigan State” Emoni announced his commitment to MSU on ESPN at 1:40 ET on Monday with his family.

Ranking the Top 14 Big Ten Arenas (8-14)

Reading Time: 2 minutesHere are my favorite Big Ten arenas ranked from 8-14. 14. Bryce Jordan Center (Penn State) – Their atmosphere is horrible when you have to curtain off your upper deck as a Power 5. They have a very big arena but it does not look like it’s made for basketball. It looks relatively nice though. 13 – Value City Arena (Ohio State) – This stadium is large, resembling an NBA stadium on a college campus. I really don’t understand why you would make the arena that big for a college team. Other then that, nothing really...
