On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin" who would want to leave town now? Miles Bridges, surrounded by fans and media members, announced in a closed-off venue in front of the Sparty statue that he would be returning for his sophomore basketball season. Al postponed his flight to report on it, but now that he's on vacation, Current Sports engineer Isaac Constans breaks the news. Bridges' return to MSU changed everything, from championship odds to recruiting possibilities. Hear what's in the future for both Bridges and the Spartans now that he's returned. Then, Isaac stacks up some more basketball on the plate. Tori Jankoska, MSU women's basketball star no more, was selected ninth overall by the Chicago Sky in the WNBA Draft. She'll be filling the shoes of a legend, and Isaac expounds on why that's the perfect place for her. Finally, Isaac and Jason Ruff, filling in as engineer, talk playoffs, with Ruffing taking the brunt of hockey and Isaac preparing you for a jampacked opening NBA weekend.
