Tom Izzo is in heavy pursuit for No. 2 before he decides to hang it up and call it a (Hall of Fame) career. The legendary Michigan State basketball coach is entering his first season as the reigning Big Ten champion since 2020-21, and we all know how that year turned out. He's hoping for better luck this time around.
Fortunately for Michigan State fans, it feels like Izzo is more motivated than ever.
While he didn't get the big names in the portal that everyone was clamoring for, he did land a few high-impact transfers to go along with a two-man recruiting class of borderline top-50 prospects.
