One of the top remaining targets on the Spartans' recruiting board is nearing a decision, according to a report from Michigan State insider Justin Thind.
Thind caught up with the three-star wide receiver Samson Gash following his official visit to Michigan State this past weekend. Per a post on X from Thind, Gash had "some very strong praise" following his visit and that "we should see a decision in the next day or so."
Gash -- who plays for Detroit Catholic Central -- is the highest-rated wide receiver prospect from Michigan in the 2026 class, and holds a recruiting rating of 89 on 247Sports. He ranks as the No. 49 wide receiver nationally and No. 4 overall prospect from the state of Michigan.
Gash also visited West Virginia earlier this month and is slated to visit Cincinnati later this week, according to 247Sports. Those appear to be the three finalists at the moment for Gash's commitment, but he also does hold notable offers from Illinois, Iowa, Purdue, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest as well.
Michigan State already has one wide receiver commitment in its 2026 class in three-star Zachary Washington. He committed to Michigan State earlier this week, and would pair nicely with Gash should the Spartans come out on top in this recruiting battle.

Top 5 NHL Draft pick Cayden Lindstrom confirms he'll play at MSU next season
Top 5 NHL Draft pick Cayden Lindstrom confirms he'll play at MSU next season Michigan State hockey has officially landed a major prospect that was selected in the top five of last year's NHL Draft. Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reported on earlier this month that star forward Cayden Lindstrom has confirmed he'll play for Michigan State next year. Portzline reported earlier this offseason that Lindstrom was leaning towards joining Michigan State for next season, but his latest report on earlier this month now confirms that is the case. Lindstrom is a Canadian prospect who played major junior hockey for the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL and was the No. 4 pick by the Columbus Blue Jackets in last year's NHL Draft. After a back injury sidelined him for the 2024-25 season, he considered the college hockey route, a path not very common for Canadian major junior hockey players. The official addition of Lindstrom to an already loaded Spartans squad is great news for the Spartans. Michigan State is shaping up to once again be a preseason top five team and should again be in contention for the national championship in 2026.

Latest ESPN NBA Mock Draft has Jase Richardson landing just outside lottery
Latest ESPN NBA Mock Draft has Jase Richardson landing just outside lottery The NBA Draft is just over a week away so where will Michigan State star Jase Richardson land? ESPN's latest mock draft suggests it'll be just outside of the lottery. ESPN released an updated NBA Mock Draft on Tuesday, which pegged Richardson to be selected just outside of the lottery. This latest mock draft from ESPN has Richardson going No. 16 overall to the Memphis Grizzlies -- who just acquired this pick from the Orlando Magic in a trade. Jonathan Givony had this to say about Richardson and the Grizzlies pairing: "The Grizzlies are exactly the type of team that could be interested in an ultra-efficient, productive young prospect such as Richardson, who rates highly in draft models that analytics-savvy teams like Memphis often pay attention to. "Richardson possesses an excellent feel for the game, hit 41% of his 3-pointers this season, brings strong defensive intensity and looks adept at playing off the star power of a teammate like Ja Morant, whose future in Memphis is to be determined. As Richardson's shot-creation diversity and offensive aggressiveness evolve, he could be someone who eventually inherits more significant ballhandling responsibilities, if the Grizzlies decide to pivot toward a youth movement." Richardson has widely been considered a fringe-lottery pick after starring for the Spartans in his lone season in college. He averaged 12.1 points per game and shot above 40% from three-point range, which quickly turned him into an NBA first round projection. The NBA Draft will be held on June 25 and 26, with the first round taking place on Wednesday and second round on Thursday. The draft will be televised on ABC and ESPN.
