Michigan State center Mady Sissoko has entered the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned.

Sissoko just wrapped up his senior season with the Spartans, spending four years in East Lansing. He averaged 3.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game this season.

In four full years at Michigan State, Sissoko has racked up 348 points and 461 rebounds, while also contributing 65 blocks, 28 assists and 18 steals.

He averaged a high-water mark of 21.4 minutes per game during his junior season in 2022-23. Mady Sissoko has appeared in 124 career games with 59 career starts, a regular starter for the Spartans over the last two seasons.

His transfer will put a 6-foot-9, 250-pound force in the low block up for grabs.

J’Vonne Hadley meets with Michigan State

A talented Pac-12 transfer met with two teams virtually on Monday, with Colorado‘s J’Vonne Hadley revealing to On3’s Joe Tipton that he planned to speak with both Iowa State and Michigan State.

Those two programs are involved in his recruitment, as is Michigan.

The skilled Colorado guard is coming off a season in which he averaged 11.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game as his team reached the NCAA Tournament and won its opening game. He’s reportedly looking to make a decision in the next week or so.

Hadley hit the NCAA transfer portal following his senior season with the Buffaloes. He has had a considerable journey during his college basketball playing days.

He began his career at Northeastern, where he appeared in just 13 games for the Huskies. He totaled 11 points and 13 rebounds.

From there, J’Vonne Hadley went to Indian Hills CC. He earned NJCAA Division I first-team All-American honors there after averaging 10.9 points and 6.2 rebounds. From there he made a major jump, going to Colorado prior to the 2022-23 season.

During his junior season he averaged 8.0 points and 5.9 rebounds for the Buffaloes.

He’ll offer whichever program gets him an elite shooting presence from the wing. He shot 41.7% from 3-point range this season.
