Michigan State men’s basketball coach Tom Izzo stated that senior point guard AJ Hoggard is not returning to the Spartans next year. Speaking on Staudt on Sports on AM-730 in Lansing, Izzo stated, “AJ’s looking to make a pro career. He could go back to college. It wouldn’t be here.”
The statement from Izzo comes while Hoggard is preparing to take part in the Portsmouth Invitational. The event is designed to showcase college players that have completed four years of eligibility before the NBA draft. Fellow Spartan Tyson Walker is also participating in the event.
