Anton Bonke's Journey from Vanuatu to the 5 in East Lansing

Anton Bonke's Journey from Vanuatu to the 5 in East Lansing

July 17, 2026: With the graduation of MSU’s interior presence in Jaxon Kohler and Carson Cooper, Izzo and his staff felt the need to get an additional size to help in the middle. And boy did they find it in 7’3” center, Anton Bonke from Charlotte. Bonke has had quite the journey to East Lansing which began on the small Pacific island country of Vanuatu and travelled to JUCO in Arizona and then Providence and Charlotte. Bonke brings size that rarely makes onto Michigan State’s bench since they require everyone to defend the pick and roll and run the floor. Bonke can bring that in addition to an outside shot which can stretch the defenses this year. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

Forced to Sit Last Year Due to Injury, Kaleb Glenn Talks About How He Is Ready to Play

July 10, 2026: Kaleb Glenn had a rough start to his MSU career by rupturing his patellar tendon before the season started last year. That injury required surgery and caused Glenn to miss the entire year. Although he was back to practicing in February, he never had a chance to make it onto the court during an actual game. This season, the FAU transfer is hoping to make quite the splash with his ability to play both inside and out and guard 1-4 on the defense. While the circumstances for Michigan’s head man leaving Ann Arbor weren’t entirely shocking to us, the timing certainly came as a surprise. Word was out that he had a contract extension all ready to be signed in April but strangely they were going to wait until July to get it done. Whether the delay was due to May waiting to see what jobs were available or if that was the UM athletic department’s decision is not yet clear. We discuss what this means for their program and some of the factors leading up to May’s decision. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

Moneyball Observations & 2 New Exciting Recruiting Offers

July 1, 2026: An annual summer rite of passage for every Michigan State Spartan is playing in the local pro-am league - Moneyball. It allows fans an early look at new players and where current players have changed their body or added to their game. There are a lot of things you can’t take from these games - whether someone can defend or rebound - but how the players have worked to add muscle or moves to their game is definitely one you can. In addition to our observations on MSU’s personnel heading into next season, we also spend some time talking about the two new high school recruiting offers by Tom Izzo. While the circumstances for Michigan’s head man leaving Ann Arbor weren’t entirely shocking to us, the timing certainly came as a surprise. Word was out that he had a contract extension all ready to be signed in April but strangely they were going to wait until July to get it done. Whether the delay was due to May waiting to see what jobs were available or if that was the UM athletic department’s decision is not yet clear.

Dusty May Leaves UM for the NBA

June 23, 2026: It was only a few weeks ago that we were discussing just how unusual it was for a league with 18 teams to not have any coaching changes. Yet here we are in late June with a surprise departure from Michigan’s head coach, Dusty May, who leaves to join the Dallas Mavericks. Reportedly, assistant coach Mike Boynton, Jr. will become the interim coach for the team this season. While the circumstances for Michigan’s head man leaving Ann Arbor weren’t entirely shocking to us, the timing certainly came as a surprise. Word was out that he had a contract extension all ready to be signed in April but strangely they were going to wait until July to get it done. Whether the delay was due to May waiting to see what jobs were available or if that was the UM athletic department’s decision is not yet clear. We discuss what this means for their program and some of the factors leading up to May’s decision. Are you looking for collegiate apparel including Spartan gear?

What Each MSU Player Needs to Improve to Win a Championship

June 18, 2026: The biggest strides most college players make are in the off season when they can work on specific parts of their game or conditioning. We’ve definitely seen that process at MSU where players radically improve between seasons. Other times, we’ve seen players just get stuck because of a string of injuries in the summers. The most notable of recent years was Travis Trice who never was healthy for summer until after his Junior season. And he came back as a force we could hardly recognize for a spectacular Senior campaign and NCAA Tournament run. So today we look at every piece on MSU’s roster and break down what they need to do individually to get the team a championship we so desperately want. Additionally, we began the show with an extensive discussion on the utter chaos going on in the administration. Much of that is due - in our opinion - with the chronically dysfunctional Board of Trustees. What to do about it? Well tune in to see if we’ve got any answers.
