Michigan State basketball in a one-on-one battle for transfer J’Vonne Hadley

MSU is battling hard with Iowa State for one of the top transfers on the market

Michigan State has identified the top transfer target on their board for the small forward position. J’Vonne Hadley, a transfer from Colorado, has the Spartans attention and would be a very nice fit in the program.

When he entered the portal, rumors suggested that Iowa State had a commanding initial lead, as well as being a near lock to land the wing transfer. Now, it appears the Spartans have firmly entered themselves into the equation.

Michigan State has a lot of minutes, and a lot of shot attempt opportunities to offer a small forward transfer, and with some connections he has on the roster, that may have been enough to make this a close race.

According to On3’s Joe Tipton, Hadley will be having a zoom meeting with the staffs of both MSU and ISU on Monday. Tipton has also suggested that this race is a lot closer than many have thought.
