Naquon Jones, MSU Recruiting, Shilique Calhoun, MSU-Louisville, Jim Hackett, Tom Izzo Press Conference, Laurel Young Story, and Rocky.

The season is not over yet, but it's still hard to ignore the Michigan State future after Naquon Jones once again committed to the Spartans. Al and Isaac lay out his role for the team in coming seasons and whether or not he'll be able to replace Shilique Calhoun. Then, Jim Hackett is on his way out as Michigan athletic director. Also, hear the voice of Tom Izzo as he covered his team's season thus far in his press conference, preparing for the upcoming game against Louisville. Next up, Laurel Young, Current Sports beat reporter, had a very interesting interview with Michigan State Japanese roller hockey player Naburo Ogita about his journey to America. Hear that story on today's Current Sports and lastly, Al has a challenge over a Rocky claim he made on Monday.
