Former Michigan State basketball guard Pierre Brooks II announces transfer to Butler

Pierre Brooks II will transfer to Butler

Back on March 29, Michigan State basketball guard Pierre Brooks II announced his transfer from Michigan State basketball. On Sunday, Brooks announced where he will be heading: Butler.

This should be a good fit for Brooks, who is a talented player and showed some promise in flashes for the Spartans.

Brooks averaged 3.6 points per game last year for the Spartans in 14.3 minutes per game.

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:

Pierre Brooks has entered the transfer portal

Pierre Brooks announced he will enter the NCAA transfer portal. This decision comes after spending two years with the program as a member of the 2021 recruiting class.

Brooks never really caught on with Michigan State, playing an average of 9.5 minutes per game while averaging 2.4 points and 1.1 rebounds. His playing time diminished down the stretch in the 2022-23 season, and he did not appear in the NCAA Tournament for the Spartans.

Spartan fans will be sure to cheer the Detroit native at his next stop.

3 Michigan State basketball players we are waiting on decisions from

MSU is waiting on the decision from three players about their future with the program

Michigan State’s basketball season came to a disappointing end with a Sweet 16 loss to Kansas State. While the singular game was unfortunate, the season can still be considered a success.

Now, the team has moved into offseason, which means roster construction mode. Michigan State is in an interesting spot: It has a blend of returning players and a top freshman class coming in.

It appears Joey Hauser has decided to move on, as expected, but three more decisions must be made before Michigan State can start constructing its 2023-24 roster:

Malik Hall is out, it is time for Pierre Brooks to step up for Michigan State basketball

With Malik Hall, the Spartans need Pierre Brooks to step up and answer the challenge:

Michigan State basketball took a blow on Monday when the news that Malik Hall may miss significant time due to a foot/ankle injury he suffered against Illinois on Friday night. With Hall set to miss time, it is now time for Pierre Brooks to step up.

Brooks is in his sophomore year on campus, after coming in as a 4-star, top 65 recruit in the 2021 recruiting class. Brooks hasn’t found a solid spot in the rotation, and has only played 4 minutes in Michigan State’s games against Wisconsin and Illinois.

Brooks’ defensive ability has kept him on the bench, and he is going to need to step up on that end of the floor, to help mitigate Hall’s loss.

Michigan State is 12-5, and 4-2 in the Big Ten, and while the loss of Hall is impactful, Brooks has the ability to not let it be catastrophic by answering this challenge.

MSU G Pierre Brooks named MVP of 2022 Moneyball Pro-Am

If this year’s Moneyball Pro-Am event was any indication of what’s to come for Pierre Brooks, then he’s about to have a monster 2022-23 season

If this year’s Moneyball Pro-Am event was any indication of what’s to come for Pierre Brooks, then he’s about to have a monster 2022-23 season.

Brooks was awarded the Moneyball Pro-Am event Most Valuable Player award on Wednesday. Brooks averaged 40.3 points per game during the summer event.

Brooks will be a sophomore this upcoming season, and is expected to have an enhanced role with the Spartans from a year ago. Last season, he appeared in 25 games and averaged 0.9 points and 0.5 rebounds across 3.7 minutes per game.

As a fan, it’s easy to get caught up in the Moneyball Pro-Am numbers, but remember this was just a summer event that everyone should take with a grain of salt. We’ve seen other Spartans in the past have monster Moneyball Pro-Am events and it does not translate to the college season afterward. But this is still exciting to see from Brooks and shows Michigan State could get more scoring out of him this upcoming season.
