MSU to host Indiana 3-star defensive end prospect on unofficial visit
Michigan State football is gearing up for a big day of spring practice tomorrow, that comes with a huge day in recruiting. The Spartans are already hosting their top wide receiver prospect for an unofficial visit, and now another top prospect is gearing up for an unofficial visit to spring practice in East Lansing.
Trevor Gibbs, a 3-star ATH prospect from Crown Point (IN), is joining Zachary Washington in East Lansing for an unofficial visit on Tuesday. Gibbs ranks as the No. 624 overall recruit in the 2026 recruiting class according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
At 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, Gibbs position at the next level is something that is to be determined for many schools, but determining that Chad Wilt is running this recruitment, it is safe to infer that Gibbs is believed to be a defensive end, edge rusher prospect to the Spartans.
Gibbs currently has a Boston College, Cincinnati and Indiana official visit on the books, and while he might not yet have a Michigan State offer, one could be on the horizon, with an official visit being scheduled shortly after.

The ties that bind: The WNBA's Fever and NBA's Pacers are more than just neighbors in Indianapolis
Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caitlin Clark is doubly disappointed about how the NBA Finals are going right now. One, the Indiana Pacers lost Game 4. Two, Clark can't be there for Game 6. Clark and the Indiana Fever have a good reason for why they won't be at the Pacers' last home game of the season on Thursday, when Indiana — which will be either up 3-2 or down 3-2 to the Oklahoma City Thunder by then, depending how Game 5 on Monday goes — plays host to Game 6 of the NBA Finals. The Fever will be at Golden State that night, playing the expansion Valkyries. 'I was hoping they'd win it in five,' Clark said. That can't happen now. But somehow, some way, the Fever will be paying some sort of attention to what's going on at home Thursday night. The Pacers and Fever aren't just neighbors. They're basically basketball family. They have the same ownership, play their games in the same building, cross paths with the other all the time. And they rave about one another, with players from one team almost always cheering on the other. 'I think young kids, if you watch basketball, you turn on and watch the Pacers,' Clark said. 'It's unselfish. They play for each other. They play fast. They play up-tempo. They do things the right way. Whether you're a starter or whether you're coming off the bench, you're giving everything you can to your team. It's really fun to watch.' Much has been made of how this is a special time for basketball in basketball-mad Indianapolis, and the Pacers and Fever are both reveling in it. The Pacers played host to the 2024 NBA All-Star Game and went to the Eastern Conference finals last season. The Fever flipped how many people think about the WNBA last season in Clark's rookie year, with swarms flocking to their games — home and away — to see the former Iowa star play. There's the NBA Finals going on now. The WNBA All-Star Game is coming to Indy this summer, and it's not hard to envision Clark and the Fever making a deep playoff run of their own this year. 'She's an incredible player, someone that I have a ton of respect for, also a good person,' Pacers guard T.J. McConnell said. 'I've been following her career, especially when she got drafted by the Fever. We all are happy to have her in Indy. It's been fun to watch.' Clark and Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton are close friends, and that's just one of the many real and deep ties between the franchises. It's not a big deal to see Pacers players at Fever games; it always happens. It's not a big deal to see Fever players at Pacers games; they're always there, too. 'It's been amazing watching the Pacers,' Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said. 'They're so much fun to watch. I think we resemble their team quite a bit in the way we move the ball and the way we're trying to play.' Fever coach Stephanie White played her high school and college basketball in the state of Indiana, then spent the bulk of her WNBA playing career with the Fever. Nobody needs to explain to her what the game means in the state. 'I was here the last time the Pacers were in the finals, back in 2000,' White said. 'I remember being in the building and just feeling all that energy. It's exciting. There's no better place, the epicenter of basketball in Indiana and Indianapolis.' She sees some parallels between how the Pacers built a contender and how the Fever are trying to become one again. 'The way that they've built and rebuilt with the roster, the patience that they've shown in the roster and in roster movement, the adversity that they faced early in the year,' White said. 'They were this fast, exciting offensive team a year ago to being a solid defensive team that has won regular-season games and playoff games for them when the offense wasn't really flowing.' Soon, the Fever will be the only game in town again. The NBA season is nearly over. There are either two or three games left. And then, the Pacers will take their seats in the crowd to watch the Fever for the next few weeks. Clark made it clear: The teams really do get a benefit from being around the other. 'More than anything they're just really good people,' Clark said. 'They're good guys. So, I've been really fortunate to be here during this time.' ___ AP NBA: recommended

How Caitlin Clark got 'the whole perspective' with Fever coaches while out with injury
INDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark found she had a lot to learn in her three-week stint of watching her Indiana Fever from the bench. Clark, the Fever's star point guard and reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year, strained her quad May 24 in a loss to the New York Liberty. She was ruled out for a minimum of two weeks — the first time she has been out for an extended period in both her collegiate and professional career. So, for the first time in five years, she found herself on the bench as her teammates took the court. Despite her frustration around being injured for the first time in her career, the time off helped Clark slow down, in a way. Without needing to think about the direct next action on the court, needing to find the best shot or assist an open teammate, she could look at everything with a different perspective. 'When you're in the game and you have the ball in your hands, you're thinking about so many different things,' Clark said. 'You're trying to dribble, you're trying to drive, you're trying to pass, you're looking for your teammates, you're thinking about shooting. So it's hard to really, you know, look at the game from the whole perspective of everybody on the floor. And I think that's a lot easier when you're out.' Even on the bench, too, she wasn't just watching. Her coaching staff still put her to work. Clark sat directly next to the coaching staff during the five games she was out, assisting in note-taking and tracking different trends, including stops and shots. 'I think she notices trends a little bit more,' Fever coach Stephanie White said of what Clark learned on the bench. 'You know, we had her keep track of some stuff on the sideline. One of the things, especially as a point guard, is to understand when we've gone three or four possessions and we haven't got a high-quality shot, or they've gone three or four possessions and scored and we haven't been able to answer it.' That was the goal for the Fever's coaching staff: give Clark a unique perspective of the game, something she hasn't been able to see in her five years of high-level basketball. 'She's starting to recognize some of those things, starting to recognize mismatches, switches, how defenses are playing us, because you can see it differently from the sideline, then you see it and sense it on the floor,' White said. 'So just having an opportunity to sit back for the last three and see that, I think it's going to help her once she gets back on the floor.' Indiana went 2-3 in the five games that Clark was out, and each had staggering differences in how the Fever played. There were a couple games that they seemed to click (with the help of hardship player Aari McDonald), including a 27-point win over the Chicago Sky. But Indiana struggled finding a rhythm without Clark, playing a disjointed form of offense in their losses. Something that hung over the Fever the entire time that Clark was out, too, was that they struggled to keep the up-tempo pace that Clark is known for. The Fever couldn't push the pace in transition without Clark, and that led to a more predictable offense that was easier to defend. These were all things that Clark, taking notes on the bench, noticed. And she hopes, even with returning to the court and having everything else running through her mind, that she can take everything into consideration when she returns. 'I think, for us as a whole group, there's certain things in games that we have to be able to see a little bit faster and earlier in the games, depending on how they're guarding us, how they're guarding certain actions, things we're doing in coverage that maybe aren't working,' Clark said. 'And how can we manipulate that? How can we put people in certain screening actions to get exactly what we want?' Chloe Peterson is the Indiana Fever beat reporter for IndyStar.
