It was a busy day for Michigan State basketball on Tuesday, with a number of players hitting the portal.
The day started off with guard Tre Holloman stunning many fans and media members by entering his name into the transfer portal. Holloman was a captain on this past year's team and was expected to return for his senior season next year.
Following Holloman were a pair of Spartan reserves to hit the portal in guard Gehrig Normand and forward Xavier Booker. Both Normand and Booker were players many had expected to hit the portal this offseason and look for opportunities for more playing time elsewhere.
With so much Michigan State transfer portal news on Tuesday, it's not surprising to see that social media was buzzing. Let's check out some of the best social media reactions from Spartan Nation and media surrounding the busy Michigan State transfer portal day:
Izzo gives his players culture where he doesn't recruit over them in the portal, makes sure newbies don't come in and makes 4x the rest of the locker room, etc.

And he's thanked by guys having deals set for their next school before March Madness. Culture is a one-way street.
Tre Holloman’s agent confirms Holloman is entering the transfer portal.

In one sense, this surprises me more than any player on MSU’s roster. On the other hand, Holloman probably knows he’s got a year left to make a lot of money.
I’m sure he didn’t make this decision lightly.
Please tell me this Tre Holloman news is a big April Fools joke coordinated by all college basketball news outlets and maybe even Tre to scare Michigan State fans specifically

The more I think about it, the more I think Tre ...
