After a few months of speculation, Michigan State basketball made it official. The Spartans will bring Lansing native Saddi Washington back to his hometown after he has been in Ann Arbor on the Michigan basketball team since 2016.
To me, this is a great signing for the Spartans. Washington played for Western Michigan in the 1990s before getting his start as a volunteer coach under current Alabama coach Nate Oats (who was also touted as Tom Izzo’s future MSU replacement) at Romulus High School. Washington then spent 10 years in Oakland as an assistant and associate head coach before joining Michigan’s staff in 2016.
