4-star, top 100 PF Quinn Costello to reportedly visit Michigan State during 'Grind Week'
Quinn Costello of The Newman School in Boston will reportedly take an official visit to Michigan State on September 5, according to 247Sports insider Justin Thind. This official visit will align with the Spartans' annual "Grind Week" event that brings together former players, current players and prospects for a monster Michigan State basketball reunion and recruiting event.
Costello is a four-star prospect, with a recruiting rating of 96.53 in 247Sports' composite system. He is listed at 6-foot-10, and ranks as the No. 12 power forward and No. 72 overall prospect in the class.
Michigan State is one of nearly 30 schools that have offered Costello, according to 247Sports. He also holds notable offers from Boston College, Florida State, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Penn State, Providence, Purdue, Stanford, Syracuse, Texas, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Wisconsin.
Costello visiting Michigan State during "Grind Week" would certainly suggest he is a top priority for the Spartans. This is annually a huge event for recruiting purposes and having him on campus for this event makes it clear he's someone Michigan State's staff is prioritizing in the 2026 class.

MSU pegged as one team to decline, fail to meet last season's standard in recent article
Is Michigan State basketball in for a decline next season? One CBS Sports writer believes so... CBS Sports released an article this past week that dived into a number of teams that "will struggle to meet last season's standard" and Michigan State made the list. The Spartans are coming off a Big Ten title winning season and Elite Eight finish in the NCAA Tournament, and Isaac Trotter of CBS Sports is not expecting Michigan State to match that same kind of success during the 2025-26 season. "Richardson's departure does open the door for Michigan State to slide back to the rest of the pack in 2025-26," Trotter wrote. "College basketball can be cyclical, at times, and Michigan State has been hit with some unexpected tremors this offseason. The writing was on the wall with the dynamic Richardson down the stretch, but Tre Holloman's abrupt decision to transfer to NC State stung, too." Trotter did, however, note that Michigan State still has a high-floor and that there is still plenty to be excited about for the Spartans next year. "Make no mistake, Michigan State still has a high floor. Its blanketing 3-point defense isn't going anywhere," Trotter wrote. "(Carson) Cooper, (Jaxon) Kohler, (Coen) Carr and incoming freshman forward Cam Ward should help the Spartans keep smoking teams on the glass. (Jeremy) Fears single-handedly is a fast-break machine who should take a healthy step forward with a full, healthy offseason. Defense, rebounding and a turbo transition offense is a good recipe to be competent, and there are some real upside plays in Carr (future NBA player), Ward (who looks built in a lab to play for Izzo) and sophomore Kur Teng (baller)." So it sounds like Trotter is expecting Michigan State to make the NCAA Tournament yet again this season, but just don't expect to win the conference and be a true National Championship contender. That aligns with most (including myself) in this point of the offseason. The other teams expected to drop off from last season that were listed in the article were Saint Mary's, Maryland and Clemson. Click here to read the full article from Trotter and his complete breakdown on why he believes the Spartans will regress next season.

MSU hoops lands in middle of pack in recently released Big Ten power rankings
See where the Spartans landed in a recent batch of Big Ten men's basketball power rankings A popular college basketball social media account has Michigan State as a middle of the pack team in the Big Ten. College Basketball Report -- a popular social media account on X -- released "way too early" power rankings for all of the power five conferences, and they aren't high on the Spartans winning the league again next season. College Basketball Report has Michigan State ranked as the No. 7 team in the league -- which is one spot below Iowa and one spot ahead of Oregon. Check out the complete rankings in the post below: This honestly isn't a bad breakdown of the Big Ten, from my point of view. I personally would have Michigan State ahead of both Iowa and Ohio State, but I also think we are splitting hairs with any teams outside of the top three (Purdue, Michigan and UCLA) in the second tier of the league. At this point in the offseason, I'd have Michigan State essentially on the same level as Illinois, Ohio State, Iowa, Oregon, USC, Wisconsin and Indiana for that second tier of teams. Around this time last year, Michigan State was a in similar spot and they ended up exceeding expectations en route to winning the Big Ten and reaching the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. Hopefully, we see that same kind of lift from the Spartans this upcoming season too.
