Rocket Watts has gone from one MSU to another.
The former Michigan State guard from Detroit, who entered the NCAA transfer portal after the end of the 2020-21 season, announced Saturday on Instagram that he has committed to Mississippi State.
Watts is the fourth Spartan to find a new team. Guard Foster Loyer has committed to Davidson while forward Thomas Kithier is headed to Valparaiso. Former walk-on guard Jack Hoiberg will play next season at Texas-Arlington.
For Watts, his sophomore season was a difficult one. Trying to make the transition from shooting guard to point guard, missing the summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic limited his progress.
