Did MSU Basketball Improve via the Transfer Portal?

With yesterday’s announcement of Divine Ugochukwu transferring from Miami to Michigan State, the Spartans’ 2025-2026 basketball roster is probably now complete.

Xavier Booker (UCLA), Tre Holloman (North Carolina State), and Gehrig Normand (Santa Clara) have been replaced by Kaleb Glenn (Florida Atlantic), Trey Fort (Samford), and Ugochukwu.

Did the transfer portal produce a net gain or loss for MSU? Let’s see if we can find the answer with the help from some statistics and charts! Stick with me, TOC. We’ll try to make this fun.

From an experience standpoint, the new Spartans compare favorably to those who have departed.
