Transfer Guard J'Vonne Hadley to Meet With MSU Via Zoom
Colorado transfer guard J'Vonne Hadley will meet with Michigan State over Zoom on Monday.
Shortly after his team's NCAA Tournament loss to Marquette in the Round of 32, Colorado guard J'Vonne Hadley told On3 he would be entering the transfer portal.
We reported on Thursday that Michigan State was one of the initial 16 teams to reach out to Hadley. On Sunday, Joe Tipton of On3 reported Hadley will be having a Zoom meeting with the Spartans on Monday.
Hadley finished the 2023-24 season fourth on Colorado's team in scoring at 11.6 points per game, a big leap from his 8.0 points-per-game average the season before. He only played 22 games in that 2022-23 season due to injury.
The senior guard also finished this season second on the team in rebounds per game (7.0), assists per game (2.4), and steals per game (1.2) while also shooting 41.7% from deep. Hadley helped lead the Buffaloes to a program-record 26 wins and a spot in the Pac-12 Tournament championship game, where they fell to Oregon.
Following Colorado's win over Boise State in the First Four of the NCAA Tournament, Hadley helped will the Buffaloes to their Round of 64 victory over Florida with a 16-point, six-rebound, and four-assist performance.
Hadley has spent two seasons with Colorado after transferring from Indian Hills Community College. In his 58 games as a Buffalo, the 6-foot-6, 205-pound guard has totaled 1,797 points, 346 rebounds, and 117 assists.
Hadley started his collegiate career at Northwestern, where he played just 13 games before transferring to Indian Hills for his sophomore season. In his lone season with the Warriors, Hadley earned NJCAA Division I first-team All-America honors. He helped lead the program to a NJCAA Region XI regular season title, the region championship and the NJCAA North Central District Championship.
With MSU losing star guard Tyson Walker and his fellow backcourt partner, AJ Hoggard, still deciding if his run with the Spartans has come to an end, adding an experienced guard like Hadley could do wonders for a team that is going to be very young next season.
