Another domino has fallen as the Michigan State basketball roster continues to reshape itself following the 2020-21 season. On Monday, MSU guard Foster Loyer announced that he would enter the NCAA transfer portal as a grad transfer.

Loyer flashed some potential in his first two seasons with the Spartans, where he shot 45-percent from three in his second season. However, this past year, when the Spartans needed to find strong guard play, Loyer struggled and only shot 32.7-percent from three and often looked overmatched on defense.
