Michigan State women's basketball adding Montana State transfer Marah Dykstra
Michigan State women's basketball continues to reload through the transfer portal, where they have already added Purdue transfer Rashunda Jones and Arizona State leading scorer Jalyn Brown. On Wednesday, it was announced that the Spartans will also add Montana State transfer Marah Dykstra to their rebooted roster.
Dykstra was a key member of the 2024-25 Montana State team that won the Big Sky Conference and made it to the NCAA Tournament. She is very familiar with a major MSU rival, Ohio State, who the Bobcats lost to in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Dykstra, a 6'2" forward who played three seasons at Montana State, averaged 12.4 points and 4.4 rebounds last year for the Bobcats while shooting 46.9-percent from the floor and 82.6-percent from the free-throw line.

ChatGPT AI-driven NBA Mock Draft has Jase Richardson landing just outside lottery
ChatGPT AI-driven NBA Mock Draft has Jase Richardson landing just outside lottery ChatGPT AI is predicting Jase Richardson to land just outside the lottery in the upcoming NBA Draft. USA TODAY Sports released their latest NBA Mock Draft driven by ChatGPT AI, and Richardson landed right about where most human draft experts are predicting. The computer model had Richardson going No. 17 overall to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Richardson starred for the Spartans during his lone season in college, playing a massive part in Michigan State winning the Big Ten and reaching the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. Richardson averaged 12.1 points per game and shot above 40% from three-point range, which raised his draft stock to where it was a no-brainer to enter the NBA Draft and leave after just one year. Richardson has been commonly mocked to land anywhere from late lottery pick to late first round pick. Most of the recent mock drafts I've came across have him landing just outside the lottery like we saw here from USA TODAY Sports' ChatGPT AI mock draft. The NBA Draft will be held on July 25 and 26 in Brooklyn. The draft will be televised on ABC and ESPN.
