Michigan State Senior Mady Sissoko entered the transfer portal, making him the first member of the 2023-2024 men’s basketball team to leave the program. The big man has one year of eligibility left due to playing through the COVID year. Sissoko leaves behind a complex legacy as a Spartan.
Mady Sissoko came to Michigan State as a lightly recruited project. Despite having some obvious physical gifts for the game, he only started playing basketball late in High School. In his first two years, Sissoko came off the bench for very short stints often typified by high energy and lots of fouls.
