The Field of 68 crew believes people are sleeping on new Spartans forward Frankie Fidler.

Fidler transferred to Michigan State from Nebraska-Omaha in the offseason, which received a ton of buzz from Spartans Nation. However, it may not have received that same type of hype nationally. The Field of 68 put together a list of their top 10 “Most Underrated Transfers” and Fidler was No. 2 on the list. He was only behind Pop Isaacs of Creighton.

Fidler averaged 20.1 points per game this past season for the Mavericks. He is expected to start for the Spartans next season.

Michigan State football has been given a positive review for its work in the spring transfer portal

Michigan State football has been given a positive review for its work in the spring transfer portal.

Rivals has released their post-spring transfer portal grades, and Michigan State landed one of the best grades in the Big Ten. Rivals gave the Spartans a “B-” grade, which was only behind Washington (B+) and Minnesota (B) in the league.

Here’s a bit of what Jacey Zembal of Rivals had to say about Michigan State:

“Michigan State has been busy with players coming and going this spring.

The addition of 5-foot-10, 205-pound (Kay’Ron) Lynch-Adams could be a big one. He rushed 236 times for 1,157 yards and 12 touchdowns at UMass, which was his fifth year of college. He played his first two years at Rutgers.”
