With that, the Spartans' roster is continuing to shape up for what will be a seismic 2024 season in the Big Ten. The conference will add several Pac-12 defectors in USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon. The addition of those teams will necessitate a bolstered roster from the one the Spartans fielded in 2023: The team limped to a 4-8 finish under Mel Tucker (who was fired earlier in the season) and interim Harlon Barnett.
