Michigan State's Tre Holloman, Xavier Booker, Gehrig Normand to enter transfer portal
Less than 36 hours after Tre Holloman sat in tears in a locker room in Atlanta, the Michigan State basketball captain will enter the transfer portal. Holloman's agents and the school confirmed the junior guard will explore leaving the Spartans after their 30-7 season and run to the Elite Eight. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Minneapolis native shared the captaincy with departing senior Jaden Akins this winter. Advertisement In MSU's season-ending 70-64 loss to Auburn on Sunday, Holloman scored just two points and was 0-for-10 from the field. That was an otherwise outlier performance in strong season in which the combo guard split point guard duties with redshirt freshman Jeremy Fears Jr. and worked along with Akins and freshman Jase Richardson in the Spartans' backcourt.

He started 16 of MSU's 37 games, moving to the bench when Richardson joined the starting lineup in early February. His 3-pointer at the buzzer won the Spartans' road game at Maryland and helped deliver Tom Izzo's 11th Big Ten regular-season title with a 17-3 conference record. Advertisement College basketball scout Chris Wash also reported that wing Gehrig Normand will also enter the portal. The 6-5 Texas native played 26 minutes in 13 games as a redshirt freshman, averaging 2.0 points and going 2-for-6 from 3-point range. Norman redshirted in 2023-2024. In addition, former five-star recruit Xavier Booker also put his name into the transfer portal on Tuesday. The 6-foot-11, 240-pound Indianapolis native started the first three games of this season before being moved into a reserve role, then saw his minutes begin to dwindle as the Spartans' 30-7 season progressed. Two players left the program via transfer last season, guard A.J. Hoggard (Vanderbilt) and center Mady Sissoko (California) for their fifth and final season of eligibility. Pierre Brooks (Butler) was the last player to leave Tom Izzo's program within the four-year eligibility window. Players can enter the portal but do not necessarily have to transfer.

Tom Izzo was 'surprised' by Tre Holloman's decision to transfer away from MSU
Tom Izzo was 'surprised' by Tre Holloman's decision to transfer away from MSU Tom Izzo spoke for the first time on Wednesday about Tre Holloman's decision to transfer away from Michigan State Former Michigan State guard Tre Holloman surprised many when he entered the transfer portal this offseason, including his head coach. Spartans head coach Tom Izzo held his end of the season press conference on Wednesday, which covered numerous topics around this past season and the early offseason roster updates. That included Holloman's departure from Michigan State via the transfer portal. Izzo was quoted saying he was "surprised" by Holloman's decision to hit the portal and leave Michigan State, but he also understood the decision due to Holloman's desire to play a "certain position." Izzo also stated the backlash Holloman received for his decision to leave was "ridiculous," according to Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press. Holloman was a captain for the Spartans this past season, where he averaged 9.1 points and 3.7 assists per game as a primarily reserve player. Holloman would have contended for a starting spot next year but was expected to not be the primary point guard with Jeremy Fears Jr. returning for next season. Holloman committed to NC State a few days ago and will wrap up his college career with the Wolfpack. He has one more year of eligibility remaining.

Ex-Michigan State guard Tre Holloman is transferring to NC State
Former Michigan State guard Tre Holloman is on his way to N.C. State. The Wolfpack shared one of Holloman's social media posts Sunday that said he had committed to the school and showed him in its gear. Another social post from Holloman announced the move using song lyrics from rapper G Herbo: 'When I was the underdog, still I put the bank on me.' Holloman averaged 9.1 points and 3.7 assists per game last season as a junior for the Spartans. He had developed into a captain under coach Tom Izzo, and was allowed by Izzo to 'kiss the floor' on senior night as a show of his commitment to the program. Holloman made national headlines on that senior night when he pushed a couple of rival Michigan Wolverines who were blocking seniors from the tradition of kissing the floor. A month later, he's on his way to N.C. State, with his Instagram on Sunday still featuring a link to clothing that profits from his shove: 'RESPECT TRADITION,' the shirts and hoodies read. Michigan State finished the season 30-7 and ranked No. 7 after an Elite Eight exit in March Madness. N.C. State finished 12-19, third to last in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The school hired Will Wade as coach after he took McNeese State to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Ex-Michigan State guard Tre Holloman commits to NC State
April 13 - Former Michigan State guard Tre Holloman has committed to North Carolina State, he announced on social media Sunday. Holloman was designated the No. 81 overall prospect and No. 12 point guard in the transfer portal according to 247's composite rankings. Despite being a captain and earning significant minutes in 2024-25, Holloman had trouble cracking the starting lineup, being awarded just 16 starts in 37 games. The 6-2 guard set career marks in minutes (23.1), points (9.1) and assists (3.7) anyway in helping the Spartans win the Big Ten and reach the Elite Eight in this spring's NCAA Tournament. The Wolfpack are now helmed by former LSU and McNeese State coach Will Wade, who has been active in the transfer portal - by necessity. Seven players off of last season's roster have entered the portal, including most guard Trey Parker, who announced his departure Friday. He joined forwards Ismael Diouf and Ben Middlebrooks as well as guards Bryce Heard, Marcus Hill, Mike James and Dennis Parker Jr. Wade has brought in former McNeese State guards Alyn Breed and Quadier Copeland and received commitments from two high school players, Matthew Able and Zymicah Wilkins, who will join lone returnee Paul McNeil and Holloman in Raleigh.
