As it is well known, Michigan State has yet to land on a center prospect, and with the portal window closing, the Spartans are going to have to make a move. The Spartans have zeroed in on a few top targets, whom they are working on communicating with now, but a new player has hit the market and would be a perfect fit for MSU.

Vincent Iwuchukwu, a Georgetown transfer, has hit the market on Monday afternoon. A 7-foot-1, 260-pound center that has been a solid college basketball player, Iwuchukwu has a similar skill set to Carson Cooper that would fit the Michigan State roster.

This past year with Georgetown, he averaged 11.6 points and 6.1 rebounds on 55% shooting in just over seven shots per game. He previously spent time with St. John's and USC, prior to joining the Hoyas in 2025-26. After four years of college basketball, he would need a waiver to get a fifth year of college basketball, which is believed to happen because of a medical incident hindering his freshman year with the Trojans.

With Michigan State needing a starting caliber center, Iwuchukwu would provide the necessary experience that could raise the Spartans ceiling, while also showing he is capable of playing at a high level in major college basketball. This should be a name that the Spartans put near the top of their big board.
