Jalen Terry surprised Spartan fans with good news back in April as the team was preparing to face Texas Tech in the Final Four. He committed to the green and white, giving Michigan State a clear replacement for Cassius Winston in 2020-21.
However, Tom Izzo wanted to add another guard so he didn’t have to worry a lack of players who could run the point guard position and handle the ball. AJ Hoggard committed in October and that seemed to drive Terry away as he decommitted a week later.
It was relatively clear that Hoggard’s commitment was the nail in the coffin when it came to Terry, but he had never opened up to the media about his decision.
