July 1, 2026: An annual summer rite of passage for every Michigan State Spartan is playing in the local pro-am league – Moneyball. It allows fans an early look at new players and where current players have changed their body or added to their game. There are a lot of things you can’t take from these games – whether someone can defend or rebound – but how the players have worked to add muscle or moves to their game is definitely one you can.

In addition to our observations on MSU’s personnel heading into next season, we also spend some time talking about the two new high school recruiting offers by Tom Izzo.

While the circumstances for Michigan’s head man leaving Ann Arbor weren’t entirely shocking to us, the timing certainly came as a surprise. Word was out that he had a contract extension all ready to be signed in April but strangely they were going to wait until July to get it done. Whether the delay was due to May waiting to see what jobs were available or if that was the UM athletic department’s decision is not yet clear. We discuss what this means for their program and some of the factors leading up to May’s decision.

If you have a home in Michigan you know the importance of clearing water efficiently away from your home off the roof. Unfortunately, the outdoor beauty of Michigan means you have to deal with leaves and debris that pile up in your gutters. Sometimes, those gutters also can’t keep up with the rain or leave puddles by your foundation.
