Tom Izzo's strategy in the transfer portal has been becoming more and more clear recently. Not just with the type of player he wants to target this cycle, but how many players he will target at a time. The second part of that sentence is the thing I have the biggest issue with beause I don't think Izzo is casting a wide enough net.
When Izzo has targeted someone in the portal this offseason, he has a pretty high hit rate regarding which of those transfers reciprocate interest. However, just because a player reciprocates interest doesn't mean that they will commit to Michigan State.
The one transfer Michigan State seems to be in a good spot for is Frankie Fidler. A lot of signs point towards Michigan State being the team trending in his recruitment, but on the off chance he doesn't pick MSU Izzo needs to have a backup plan.
I'm not confident Izzo has very many players in mind as a backup option, but two more guys just hit the portal that I thnk Izzo should reach out to while they wait for a decision from Fiddler.
