Michigan State football LB Jordan Hall confirms he will be with team in January

MSU LB Jordan Hall confirmed on the This Is Sparta MSU Podcast that he will be with the team in January

Michigan State football fans got some more good news on Tuesday, when true freshman linebacker Jordan Hall confirmed on the This Is Sparta MSU Podcast that he will not be entering the transfer portal in this window and he will be with the team in January.

While Hall could still potentially choose to enter the transfer portal when it opens again in April if he doesn’t like the direction the program is headed, this will definitely be a big relief to hear for Spartan fans as Jordan Hall was one of the best true freshman in the country last season.

Hall had 67 tackles and 4.5 sacks last season for MSU.

10 Michigan State football players Jonathan Smith needs to retain

10 current MSU players Jonathan Smith should heavily focus on retaining:

The first thing on the list for Jonathan Smith upon arriving to East Lansing will be meeting with the current roster, and recruiting the current roster to stick around and not hit the transfer portal.

No one is denying that the Spartans have a plethora of young talent on the roster, with the past two recruiting classes being very good, and it will be imperative that Smith can keep that talent in East Lansing for his staff to develop.

Let’s take a look at ten players Michigan State and Coach Smith need to retain on the roster:

Brooklyn Nets waive Jordan Hall and Keifer Sykes; sign Kyler Edwards

The Brooklyn Nets announced on Monday that they have requested waivers on Jordan Hall and Keifer Sykes and have signed Kyler Edwards.

The Brooklyn Nets are still in the process of tweaking their roster with training camp more than one week away and one of the moves appears to be undoing something that just recently happened.

The Nets announced two things on Monday. The first action was that they requested waivers on guards Jordan Hall and Keifer Sykes. On Sep. 20, Brooklyn made the announcement that they had signed the two guards and it appeared that both would get a chance to show what they could do during training camp.

The second move was that the Nets signed Kyler Edwards. Edwards, 24, came into the league as an undrafted free-agent out of the University of Houston during the 2022 NBA Draft. He spent the 2022-23 season playing in the G League for the Motor City Cruise, affiliate of the Detroit Pistons.

Edwards, standing at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, played 25 games for Motor City Cruise last season and averaged 12 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 39.5% from the field and 35.2% from deep.

Report: Brooklyn Nets have signed Jordan Hall and Keifer Sykes

The Brooklyn Nets announced on Wednesday that they have signed guard/forward Jordan Hall and guard Keifer Sykes.

The Brooklyn Nets are just weeks away from training camp and yet, they’re still willing to add talent to the roster if it could make the team better down the stretch.

On Wednesday, the team announced that they have signed guard/forward Jordan Hall and guard Keifer Sykes. The announcement did not give any indications on what kind of deals those two were signed to or what the plan for either of them are, but it seems that most people who cover the team believe that both players will be spending most, if not all, of their time this upcoming season in the G League.

Hall, 21, spent last season with the San Antonio Spurs organization, mostly playing for its G League affiliate, the Austin Spurs. Towards the end of August, Brooklyn’s G League team, the Long Island Nets, traded for the returning player rights of Hall from the Austin Spurs in exchange for forward RaiQuan Gray.

Sykes, 29, spent all of last season with the Motor City Cruise, the G League affiliate of the Detroit Pistons. Before that, he played 32 games for the Indiana Pacers in the 2021-22 season and made a name for himself thanks to the Pacers going through a rebuild and having some injuries as well.

Georgia Bulldogs: Ranking the reigning champions’ top-10 recruits of 2023

Here are the top 10 highest-ranked players who have committed to their class of 2023.

Georgia is on top of the mountain in college football, having won the last two national championships in convincing fashion.

Maintaining that dominance will be difficult, especially because they’ll be losing some of their best players – such as DL Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith – in the 2023 NFL draft at the end of April.

Keeping ahead of the competition will require head coach Kirby Smart and his staff to continue recruiting the best high school football talent from around the country.

Here are the top 10 highest-ranked players who have committed to their recruiting class of 2023, which ranks No. 2 in the nation.

LOOK: Jordan Hall already showing off leadership ability with MSU football

True freshman Jordan Hall is already showing what type of leader he is:

Jordan Hall may have been the most underappreciated piece of Michigan State’s 2023 recruiting class, and he is already showing why. Hall, a 4-star linebacker from the IMG Academy, enrolled early at Michigan State, where he looks to make an impact early in his career.

Known for his leadership, Hall made history with being a 3-year captain at the IMG Academy, and he is already showing that leadership ability.
