Say it ain't so.

I don't know what's more shocking to me right now: the fact that Jase Richardson hasn't declared that he's going pro yet or the fact that Tre Holloman is leaving the program.

That's right, this is not a joke: Tre is in the transfer portal.

Holloman had a strong junior season in which he played the role of hero numerous times, including games against North Carolina and Michigan en route to a Big Ten title and an Elite Eight run.

I don't think Holloman was checked out in the NCAA Tournament like some fans are claiming, but this is odd timing considering he did just play his final Michigan State game two days ago and he was in tears in the locker room when the Spartans lost to Auburn. I think he's making a smart decision for himself, but I'm hoping he reconsiders.

Izzo, too, had to be shocked at this news because Holloman felt like the ultimate Spartan Dawg and when he defended the Michigan State logo-kissing tradition, it felt like his would be special next year.

We were all wrong.

Social media obviously got set ablaze by the news and now we'll be looking to replace the junior guard who gave everything he had to this school for three years. Here are some of the top reactions to the Holloman news on social media:

This one undoubtedly hurts. Holloman gave his all to the program and the school and he became a beloved figure on campus. If he does ultimately decide to leave, no one should be hating on the kid for wanting an NIL deal or more of a role, but if he comes back, he might go down as one of the biggest legends in recent memory.

Let's hope the latter comes to fruition.
