Spartans ranked just outside top 20 in latest preseason poll for 2025-26 season
Spartans ranked just outside top 20 in latest preseason poll for 2025-26 season Michigan State basketball is listed among the top 25 teams heading into next season in Jon Rothstein's latest rankings update. Rothstein released an updated batch of preseason rankings for the 2025-26 season on Monday, which had the Spartans as a top 25 squad. Michigan State came in at No. 21 in Rothstein's updated rankings. Among Big Ten teams, Rothstein had Michigan State come in at No. 5. The Spartans were behind the following Big Ten teams: Purdue (No. 1), Michigan (No. 5), UCLA (No. 6) and Oregon (No. 20). Rothstein's rankings -- which goes up to 45 teams -- also included the following teams from the Big Ten behind the Spartans: Illinois (No. 22), Wisconsin (No. 23), Ohio State (No. 26), Washington (No. 30), USC (No. 33), Maryland (No. 35) and Nebraska (No. 41). Rothstein is on the lower end when it comes to Michigan State compared to his peers. The Spartans have typically been ranked in the No. 15 - 20 range in similar preseason polls, so this spot is in line with those but just a smidge lower than others.

Michigan State baseball lands commitment from Oakland OF transfer, Macomb native
Michigan State baseball lands commitment from Oakland OF transfer, Macomb native Michigan State baseball is adding to their roster for the 2026 season, dipping into the transfer portal for a local product. Macomb (MI) native Trent Rice will be heading to Michigan State after spending two years with Oakland University. He will bring two years of eligibility with him to East Lansing. He played his high school baseball at Marine City Cardinal Mooney Catholic. Rice, a 5-foot-11 and 180 pound outfielder, is a speedster that is going to bring a dynamic element to the Spartans baseball program. In 2024, Rice appeared in 55 of 58 games for the Golden Grizzlies, having a slash line of .253/.355/.356 while recording two home runs and 22 RBIs. He stole 41 bases on 46 attempts, earning his way on the Horizon League All-Freshman team. He followed up his freshman performance with a very similar sophomore performance, slashing .253/.365/.390 with four homeruns and 29 RBIs. On the basepaths, he went 39-for-46 stealing bases. A welcomed, dynamic addition to the Spartans team.

Jamal Rule of Charlotte announced on Monday that he's received an offer from the Spartans. Rule made the Michigan State offer known by posting on his social media X account. Rule is a three-star running back prospect in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports. He holds a recruiting rating of 87.26 and is ranked as the No. 46 running back in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2026 class. Michigan State is one of nearly 15 schools to offer Rule, according to 247Sports. He also holds offers from Boston College, Nebraska, Syracuse, NC State, Virginia Tech, Arkansas, Pitt, Wisconsin, Appalachian State, James Madison, Liberty, Miami (OH) and Elon. The offer for Rule from the Spartans comes on the same day that four-star running back Damon Ferguson committed to Pitt over Michigan State.
