The Michigan State basketball roster is in flux, with guard Rocket Watts entering the transfer portal as Northeastern transfer guard Tyson Walker committed to MSU.
Also in the mix at guard next season will be four-star signee Jaden Akins, last seen at a prep academy in Kansas after leaving Emoni Bates’ father’s Ypsi Prep team partway through the season.
Akins’ departure for Sunrise Christian Academy in Bel Aire, Kansas, meant Spartans fans keeping an eye on Bates, currently in the class of 2022, missed out on watching Akins' senior year.
But they’ll have a chance to see how he has progressed next month; Akins is set to take part in a high school all-star game — the Iverson Classic — in Memphis on May 7-8.
