Twitter reacts to Michigan State basketball F Pierre Brooks transfer announcement

Twitter reacts to the news of Pierre Brooks transferring out of the MSU program

Pierre Brooks announced he is leaving the Michigan State basketball program to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Brooks has spent the past two years in East Lansing as a member of the Spartans, playing sparingly off the bench.

The decision felt somewhat expected, but still reverberated across Spartan nation.

Michigan State Twitter is known to be one of the best collegiate fan bases on the social media platform, so take a look at how Spartan Twitter reacted to the news of Brooks transfer:

Twitter reacts to Max Christie being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers

Twitter reacts to Max Christie going No. 35 overall to the Los Angeles Lakers

Michigan State guard Max Christie was selected with the No. 35 overall selection in the 2022 NBA Draft. Coincidentally, No. 35 is the same pick that the Golden State Warriors selected Draymond Green with. If Christie can follow Green’s path in the NBA, he will be very successful.

The Spartan guard will be heading to Los Angeles, where he will play alongside Lebron James and Anthony Davis, among others, for one of the most iconic franchises in the NBA.

Twitter reacts to Michigan State hiring Mel Tucker as football coach

The shocking turn of events led to some pretty excellent Twitter content.

It has been a whirlwind couple of days for the Michigan State football program and if you need evidence of that, look no further than Twitter.

We recently compiled the story of the Luke Fickell portion of the coaching search and boy was that a strange roller coaster ride.

Now that Michigan State has found its next coach in former Colorado boss Mel Tucker, Michigan State football players and fans alike are breathing an excited sigh of relief. Let’s check in on some of the reactions from current and former players, as well as fans.

We’ll start with the first reports of the news and go from there. Credit to Hondo Carpenter for scooping this one.

The Athletic’s Colton Pouncy with some (always) wise words for us all.

College football maestro Spencer Hall with the appropriate reaction, followed by a necessary request.

New recruit Darius Snow appears to be a fan.

The official announcement tweet. Excellent work finding a Mel Tucker photo with no Colorado logo on it. (or photoshopping it off)

Mark Dantonio said people would crawl to Michigan State for the job . . . apparently they’re happy enough to fly private to get to East Lansing.

Noteworthy that Tucker is the 2nd African American head coach in MSU history and projected to be the second-highest-paid black head coach in all of football! MSU’s legacy with integration in football is one to be proud of and I’m happy that continues.

Current players seemed pretty pleased with the announcement.

And some former players have weighed in as well.

Current wide receiver CJ Hayes had the best reaction. Print the shirts.

Of course the fans had to weight in. Beloved MSU Twitter misery Matt Sheehan has a good point.

New hashtag, y’all!

Mel Tucker seems pretty dang cool.

Of course, MSU backed up the Brinks truck (paid a lot of money) for Tucker, so we had to celebrate that.

Yep.

It’s been a wild coaching search on the internet, but today has been a very fun day for MSU Twitter.

Mel Tucker will be formally introduced as Michigan State’s 25th head coach during a 6:30 PM press conference, which will be aired live on BTN.
