Michigan State basketball: Twitter reactions to Jaden Akins, AJ Hoggard’s return

Michigan State basketball fans and players were very excited (obviously) to see both Jaden Akins and AJ Hoggard announce they will be back.

On May 31, both Jaden Akins and AJ Hoggard announced on Twitter that they will return to Michigan State basketball next season. Both players entered their names into NBA draft but have since decided to return back to East Lansing for another season.

Wednesday was the final day for them to do so, so this was an announcement all Spartan fans were extremely eager to see.

With this amazing news, Michigan State players made it known how excited they were. Former Michigan State players also made it known how excited they were as well. That is a testament to the program Tom Izzo has built for former players to still be this excited about the program.

Here is one tweet from former Spartan Branden Dawson.

Locked in! ?

Malik Hall also retweeted this classic picture of Jaden Akins from when he was a kid. If this picture tells you anything, it’s that there really shouldn’t be any surprise to see him back in East Lansing.

Michigan State fans took their excitement to the next level, like we always do. Is there a more passionate fanbase in the country than Michigan State basketball? When things are going well I truly don’t think there is.

Here are some of the best reactions I saw from fans:

Next season has the potential to be one of the best in Michigan State basketball history. A conference title, Final Four, and National Championship are all very realistic.

November can’t come soon enough.
