MSU basketball drops in updated 'Bracketology' from ESPN's Joe Lunardi
We are months away from tipping off the next college basketball season, but, hey, it's never too early for bracketology, right? ESPN's Joe Lunardi has released an updated batch of bracketology for the 2026 NCAA Tournament and to no surprise Michigan State is safely in the field of 68. But the Spartans did slip since the last time Lunardi released a bracket projection earlier this offseason. Lunardi currently has Michigan State as the No. 5 seed in the East Region with a first round matchup against Missouri Valley Conference champion Illinois State in Buffalo. In this projected bracket, Michigan State would face the winner of No. 4 seed Arkansas and No. 13 seed Miami (OH) should they knock off Illinois State in the first round. Michigan State is looking to continue the hot play from last year's Big Ten championship season and Elite Eight finish next season. The Spartans have widely been projected as a top 25 team in the preseason polls for next year so Lunardi's projection of a No. 5 seed is aligned with the national media. Click on the post below to read the complete NCAA Tournament bracket projection from Lunardi: Contact/Follow us @The SpartansWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Michigan State news, notes and opinion.

Homewood-Flossmoor's Shai Robinson relishes being taken by Minnesota Twins in 10th round of MLB draft. ‘A 1% moment.'
Hearing his name called in a professional sports draft was something Shai Robinson had envisioned just about his whole life. Except Robinson, a Homewood-Flossmoor alum, didn't initially expect it would happen in baseball. 'It's been a dream for a long time,' Robinson said. 'I think everyone has those aspirations when they start playing a sport. Now, did I think it would be baseball I'd be playing professionally? No. I would have definitely thought football. 'But obviously baseball was what ended up working out for me and now it's got me here.' Robinson, a 2022 H-F graduate who has spent the last three seasons playing shortstop at Illinois State, was selected Monday by the Minnesota Twins in the 10th round of the MLB draft with the 299th overall pick. 'It was a great moment,' Robinson said. 'Who doesn't want to appreciate this moment? This is like a 1% moment. I've fallen into the 1% of people that actually get to play professional baseball. 'That's definitely something I'm going to cherish.' Robinson was the second of five players from the Southland who were drafted, following Lincoln-Way West's Conor Essenburg going to the Atlanta Braves in the fifth round. Lewis outfielder George Bilecki, a Marist graduate, was taken by the San Diego Padres in the 12th round. Louisville outfielder Eddie King Jr., a Marian Catholic alum, went to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 16th round, while Lincoln-Way Central pitcher Luke Mensik was chosen by the San Francisco Giants in the 17th round. Robinson, meanwhile, had eligibility remaining at Illinois State but said he plans to sign with the Twins. It's been a winding journey to pro baseball for Robinson, who played quarterback for two seasons of lower-level football at Mount Carmel before transferring to H-F for the second semester of his sophomore year. That was at the start of 2020, and although the pandemic wiped out his sophomore season of baseball, Robinson saw his future starting to shift in that sport's direction. 'COVID happened and then my recruiting started to pick up for baseball,' Robinson said. 'Baseball kind of took off from there. I ended up committing to Illinois State. 'I think I always had a natural love for sports, whether it was baseball, football or basketball. I kind of came to that realization that, 'Baseball is your sport and you can really go somewhere with it.'' Lincoln-Way East coach John McCarthy was Robinson's coach at H-F. He also saw a bright future in baseball for him. 'When I think of him, I just think smooth,' McCarthy said of Robinson. 'He's so smooth as a baseball player in every way. Everything he does, it just looks so easy. He's a great kid and he was a joy to coach. 'I'm really, really happy for him. He just needed a shot. There's no question he's deserving of this opportunity.' Robinson had his freshman and sophomore seasons at Illinois State cut short by injuries, playing in about half of the team's games each year. Finally healthy for a full spring this spring, he made 54 starts at shortstop and hit .269 with 10 home runs and 45 RBIs. He's also developed a reputation as a first-rate defensive player. Robinson said dealing with some adversity in college made him appreciate the sport more. 'I went through some trials and tribulations with injuries,' Robinson said. 'I think it's important to experience ups and downs in a sport and realize that you can be humbled and it can all be taken away in the snap of a finger.' Now, Robinson is ready to realize his dream of becoming a professional athlete. He's waiting to see where that journey will begin within Minnesota's organization, but he knows that wherever it happens, the first game will be special. 'I'm looking forward to that first at-bat and I think I'll be just walking up to the plate and thinking, 'It's real now,'' Robinson said. 'I think that will be a surreal moment where all the work you've done over the course of your lifetime has paid off.'

Colorado football Top 25 players: cornerback Teon Parks
Colorado lost its superstar, Travis Hunter, to the NFL, leaving a gaping hole at cornerback. DJ McKinney is primed to hold down one of the outsider corner positions, but what about the opposite side of the field? The answer could be several players, but Illinois State transfer Teon Parks could be considered the top option. Parks is coming off a breakout season with the Red Birds and seems ready to make that jump to the Football Bowl Subdivision level. Since Deion Sanders took over as head coach, Colorado has never had a shortage of talented cornerbacks, but they need at least one to step into a significant role in 2025. Parks, as one of the top FCS cornerbacks in the transfer portal, can be a key contributor for the Buffs this season. Top 25 player profiles: No. 25, No. 24 2024 in review Parks was one of the top cornerbacks in the FCS last season and Illinois State's top graded defensive player according to Pro Football Focus. Parks finished the year with 38 tackles, one forced fumble, one interception and an impressive 11 pass breakups. He proved himself as a solid all-around cornerback and at 6-foot-1, the perfect size Colorado is looking for at corner. Biggest question in 2025 Parks showed last season that he has the talent to be a top-end coverage corner, but as is the case with most transfers making the jump to the FBS level, can he produce similar numbers against better competition? Based on his grades from Pro Football Focus, the underlying numbers suggest his production is sustainable. 2025 will be a success if... He will be given a shot to win the starting cornerback job opposite DJ McKinney, and I think that should be considered a win for the former FCS standout. It is hard to predict the exact statistical output from a corner, but he has a nose for the football, and Parks should come up with a handful of pass breakups and around 30 tackles if he wins the starting job.
