MSU basketball reportedly in mix for an elite transfer portal center
Michigan State basketball is reportedly one of the teams in the mix for an elite level center in the transfer portal. Joe Tipton of On3 released a list of teams showing and receiving interest from Alabama transfer center Aiden Sherrell, and Michigan State was included. The Spartans were joined by a number of teams, most notably being rival Michigan, LSU and Missouri.

com/wjn9gZYeuC — Transfer Portal (@TransferPortal) April 9, 2026 Sherrell, who is originally from Detroit, is considered one of the top prospects in the transfer portal. He started all 34 games for the Crimson Tide this past season, averaging 11. 1 points, 6.
2 rebound and 2. 2 blocks per game. He was a former McDonald's All-American out of high school and also received notable recruiting interest from the Spartans then as well.
Michigan State is considered by many as a preseason top 10 -- and by some a top 5 -- team entering next year. But there is one notable glaring hole at the moment and that's in the post. With Carson Cooper and Jaxon Kohler graduating, the Spartans are in need of a portal addition at center, which of course could be filled by Sherrell.
