Our largest victory over OSU in program history! #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/hN9tDoWliH — Michigan Baseball (@umichbaseball) May 3, 2025
Just like football.
Michigan baseball hasn't had a lot of rivalry challenges thus far, only having a series and a one-off with Michigan State, and the Wolverines have won all four of those contests. The maize and blue were set to take on rival Ohio State on Friday night, but that opening contest of the four-game series was postponed, and Saturday's game was on with the weather clear.
And the Wolverines blasted the Buckeyes in spectacular fashion.
Behind a big fourth inning, Michigan baseball posted what looks closer to a football score than a baseball one. The Wolverines scored 16 runs in the fourth inning, with four hits, eight walks, and five players being hit by a pitch. Ultimately, the maize and blue took the first game against the scarlet and grey, 23-1.
Infielder Cole Caruso was the player of the game, having gone 3-for-4 with four RBIs. The Wolverines won this contest with only one home run, courtesy of right fielder Robert Hamchuk.
Michigan had 13 hits, including five doubles, but also left nine runners on base. Pitcher Kurt Barr went five innings and allowed three hits while striking out four. The Buckeye pitchers ended up hitting six Wolverines over the course of the game.

Texas A&M HC Mike Elko has already proven to be an elite recruiter

When Texas A&M hired Mike Elko as the program's head football coach in November of 2023, the Jimbo Fisher era was chaotic, to say the least, as the Aggies failed to live up to their recruiting success, which included landing what many still consider the greatest recruiting class during the 2022 cycle. Former Texas A&M Athletic Director Ross Bjork, now with Ohio State, initially wanted to hire Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops to succeed Fisher. However, after a bizarre night before Elko was officially hired, which included online pressure from the Aggie fan base, the decision was made. Elko's two-year head coaching stint at Duke included a 16-9 record, with nine wins during his first season in North Carolina. After serving as Jimbo Fisher's defensive coordinator from 2018 to 2021, Bjork and the Board of Regents were highly familiar with his elite defensive playcalling and player development. However, Elko faced immediate questions regarding his ability to recruit at a high level, especially in the SEC. But after landing the 10th-ranked 2025 signing class, these worries slowly disappeared and have all but evaporated after last week's and this weekend's immense success in the 2026 recruiting class. After three 2026 commits, including four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory, shut down their recruitment, showing high confidence in Elko and his staff. With 19 commits after landing five stars Tristian Givens (edge) and Brandon Arrington (cornerback) over the last two days, Texas A&M's No. 2-ranked cycle features four top-100 ranked prospects, including three committing since Tuesday, as four-star running back KJ Edwards was the first domino to drop. As Jaxson Callaway notes, Elko has now beaten out the likes of Tennessee, Texas, and Oregon since early last week. According to several analysts, this is just the start, with several priority prospects set to announce their commitments next month. Relationships and a clear understanding of how the Aggies' coaching staff will develop each recruit have been a winning strategy thus far. They will hopefully result in better on-field results for years to come.

Ranking all 18 Big Ten football uniforms for 2025

As the offseason continues, and very little news flows throughout the Big Ten landscape, one can think about many things. One in particular is the history of the Big Ten and specifically that of many blueblood programs' uniforms. Whether it be the classic aesthetic of Michigan's blue and gold, the more modern sleek look of the Trojans of USC, or one of the most iconic uniforms in college football with Penn State, the Big Ten has given us some iconic expressions of team pride through its many different uniforms. Thus, for the first time on Nittany Lions Wire, I will be ranking all 18 of the Big Ten's classic uniforms from worst to best. Here is a look at our Big Ten helmet rankings for 2025. 18. Rutgers Scarlet Knights Helmet Rank: 16 This one is pretty self-explanatory. In a conference in which many team's colorways use a red and white scheme, Rutgers does it the worst. While the white R against the bright red backdrop on the helmet is an aesthetically awesome touch, the helmet alone is not enough to keep Rutgers from claiming the bottom spot. There are only so many ways that you can pull off red and white, and until Rutgers tries to pull it off, they may stay bottom dwellers for a while. 17. Indiana Hoosiers Helmet Rank: 14 Much like Rutgers, red and white can only get you so far on the Big Ten uniform rankings. Calling it cream and crimson doesn't necessarily help either. Nevertheless, a trident as a logo is cooler than a simple white "R" so that at least is something the Hoosiers can hang their hat on. Plus, Curt Cignetti's squad is a fun and frisky bunch, so if performances levels continue to exceed expectations, this uniform could move way up in my rankings and become ever more iconic. 16. Illinois Fighting Illini Helmet Rank: 15 Just out of the bottom two is the Illini, who somehow make orange, white and blue work on a uniform. They have several alternates with the navy blue/orange that are standouts but their old-time jerseys leave much to be desired and take away from the overall aesthetic. However, much like Indiana, sneaky performances could elevate these unusual unis even higher. 15. Northwestern Wildcats Helmet Rank: 17 The first team to incorporate purple on the list, Northwestern has some of the most underrated uniforms in the conference. Their alternates with the purple stripe detailing are some of the best in the sport, and the way they intepret the scripted "N" on the helmet is really cool and makes a simple logo pop especially on the alternates. However, the simplicity of their white unis and their poor on-field performances leaves them towards the bottom of the pack. 14. Nebraska Cornhuskers Helmet Rank: 18 If this were nearly three decades ago, Nebraska could well have been in the top 5. The great Cornhusker teams of the 90s made the red and white jerseys some of the most well-renowned ones in the sports. Years of irrelevancy have seen the uniforms lose their luster. Should Raiola and Rhule continue to gain consistency together, perhaps this best of the "red and whites" will have its day in the sun again. 13. Minnesota Golden Gophers Helmet Rank: 12 Another underrated uni in the conference, the Golden Gophers probably have the best detailing of any team with a white base for their jerseys. To top it all off, they also have perhaps the best letter logo outside the top 10, with the red and gold "M" standing out in a world where Mcdonald's and Michigan exist. What keeps it from entering the top 10 is that the team itself seemed more fun in the early PJ Fleck days than this current iteration, and you can add all the clever distractions you want to a classic white base, but a white base it still remains. Thus, Minnesota has to find cooler, more eye-catching details and colorways to make a move next year. 12. Maryland Terrapins Helmet Rank: 9 Maryland may have the most enigmatic uniforms on this list, as while they still represent the pride of Maryland in the red, white, gold and black color scheme, the changing of the logo on the helmet drastically detracts from that aesthetic. The scripted "Terps" isn't terrible, but one would be remiss by not thinking that if Maryland kept the state flag decals on the helmet, these uniforms would be even more of a winner. Although I must add, if we were rating these jerseys simply on the alternates, Maryland's black ones would be up there with the sleek off-white finish of the numbers and striped detailing on the sleeves. 11. Michigan State Spartans Helmet Rank: 6 We're starting to enter iconic territory on this list, as Michigan State is certainly a blueblood of the sport whose unis would be instantly recognizable to even a casual college football fan. However, the spartan logo is starting to carry the load a little to heavily as the spartan green and white scheme is getting old and a bit too bland aesthetically. As much as green is a fantastic color for a football jersey, Michigan State could be starting to beat it to death. The helmet saves it from dropping even further. 10. Oregon Ducks Helmet Ranks: 5 While many would expects the Ducks to be higher on this list, it has been their many attempts to modify their standard green and yellow over the past years that sees them in this spot. Whether it be their hideous neon green alternates in the CFP or their "Bumblebee" like first alternates, they do too much with simple colors. The Green Bay Packers the Oregon Ducks are not, and despite their recent on-field success, maybe simplicity is key when it comes to looking good on the field for the Ducks. 9. Purdue Boilermakers Helmet Rank: 13 Nothing beats a good black and gold color scheme, and I think no one does it better than the Boilermakers. Purdue fans should know that during a night game at Ross-Ade Stadium not that many years, the mystique of the black and gold meant they had a chance to play spoiler, thus giving their classic 2010s nickname, "The Spoilermakers." And even though that may not be the case at the moment, the Boilermakers still have the iconic feel that elevates them above heavyweight contenders on this list. 8. Washington Huskies Helmet Rank: 8 Washington's primary achievement with their uniforms is making two distinctly different colors work together in a highly textured manner. Whether it be the tinted gold helmets with the classic purple "W" on the helmets, to the boldness of the purple jersey and the gold pants, Washington is starting to become one of the most familiar uniforms within the Big Ten ranks. If they can get back to the CFP yet again, look for the aura of these unis to continue to rise. 7. UCLA Bruins Helmet Rank: 7 One of the classic in terms of aesthetic and simplicity, UCLA has mastered the minimalist look with maximalist boldness. Similar to Washington, the boldness of the gold-tinted helmet allows the scripted "UCLA" to stand out. The blue and gold detailing on the sleeves stand out against the bold true blue base. And to top it all off, there is truly nothing better than gold numbers with a bold white rim. UCLA is this high because of their "less is more" mentality, not in spite of it. 6. Wisconsin Badgers Helmet Rank: 11 Perhaps the best red and white combo in the conference, the Badgers pull off a white and cardinal look cleaner and simpler than certain bottom dwellers on this list. While certainly not the most appealing at first glance, you can soon come to terms with the idea of simplicity being best with a closer look. The helmet is a major plus with the pop of the "W" standing out against the white base. 5. USC Trojans Helmet Rank: 4 One of the most iconic jerseys of the '90s, when Leinart and Bush ruled the roost in the sport, the Trojans' classic logo and clean jerseys still have not lost their chic despite the lackluster nature of the Lincoln Riley era. The trojan logo in and of itself elevates the whole aesthetic. The pop of the cardinal-striped pant legs adds a nice touch with the beautiful gold numbering giving it a clasic touch that college football fans all around the country can appreciate. 4. Ohio State Buckeyes Helmet Rank: 3 The scarlet and grey of Ohio State are one of the most quintessential uniforms in all of college football. Starting with the classic grey helmet with the nice buckeyes touch when players make significant to the boldness of the all-scarlet look counterbalance by the white numbers and details on the sleeve, you can feel the almost branded nature of the Buckeyes unis. With muted simplicity, Ohio State has created a look that will remain seared in your memory. 3. Iowa Hawkeyes Helmet Rank: 10 Another gold and black combo, the Iowa Hawkeyes pull it off just a tad bit better than Purdue. The color uni is a classic counterbalance between the black shirt and the gold pant with the gold detail on the sleeve a stand out feature. Even the almost all gold alternate has a cool vibe with the black stripes across the chest a nice touch. And of course, you can't forget about one of the best logos in the sport, the classic black and gold hawk standing out on that all black helmet. Iowa's unis are equally parts frightening and fiery. 2. Michigan Wolverines Helmet Rank: 2 You had to know Michigan would be high on this list with their brilliant maize and blue combo. Both the color and white options are standing with the bold detailing of the stripes on the pant leg on the white and the classic maize numbers on the color ones makes for one of the most recognizable helmets not just in college football, but the world. Combine that with the No. 2 ranked helmets in our helmet rankings, and there's no way you can argue with this ranking. 1. Penn State Nittany Lions Helmet Rank: 1 You had to know this was coming right from the start! However, all biases aside, when you think of familiarity, beauty of simplicity, and an iconic aesthetic, Penn State has it all. When everyone's watching their games, they know who's on their television screens and the overall aura of the program. With this No. 1 ranking in both our uniform and helmets lists, Penn State has a clear message to the conference: sometimes, simplicity is best!

Top Michigan State basketball transfer suffers season-ending knee injury

The post Top Michigan State basketball transfer suffers season-ending knee injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Michigan State basketball team received some bad news on Wednesday as top transfer Kaleb Glenn is going to miss the entire 2025-26 season. Glenn was a big addition to this Spartans squad, but a torn patellar tendon is going to keep him on the sidelines next season. Glenn started his college basketball career in 2023 at Louisville, and then he transferred to FAU for the 2024-25 season. He was back in the college basketball transfer portal this offseason, and he landed with Tom Izzo and Michigan State. Advertisement 'Michigan State forward Kaleb Glenn has suffered a torn patellar tendon and will miss the entire season, he told @On3sports,' Joe Tipton said in a post. 'The plan is for the transfer from Florida Atlantic to redshirt this upcoming season. Averaged 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game at FAU.' This is obviously a major disappointment for the Michigan State basketball team as Kalen Glenn was expected to have a big role next season. Tom Izzo doesn't like to take a ton of players from the transfer portal, but Glenn is one that he saw a lot of potential in. Unfortunately, he will have to wait another year before he makes his debut with the Spartans. Glenn is a four-star transfer portal prospect, according to 247Sports. He is the #81 transfer portal player and the #15 small forward. Glenn got a lot of attention from top teams in the country, and Michigan State did enough to secure a commitment. 'Kaleb Glenn is a 6-foot-7 off-ball wing who shot 40% from downtown on 3.3 attempts per game,' Glenn's transfer scouting report reads. 'Down the stretch, he looked like the best player on a deep Florida Atlantic club. He's an awesome offensive rebounder for a wing, and Glenn is a heady cutter who keeps defenses honest. Glenn is a serviceable defender who should be a rock-solid 3-and-D guy for Tom Izzo at Michigan State.' Advertisement Glenn got a decent amount of playing time as a freshman at Louisville as he appeared in 32 games and started in 11. He averaged 14.9 minutes per game, 3.9 points per game and 3.6 rebounds per game, and then he decided that it was in his best interest to hit the transfer portal. Last season at FAU was a strong one for Glenn. He appeared in 34 games, typically coming off the bench. He ended the year averaging 12.6 PPG and 4.8 RPG. His 41% mark from three is one of his most attractive statistics. Tom Izzo and the Michigan State basketball team are getting a good one, but it is unfortunately going to happen later than expected. Hopefully Kalen Glenn can make a speedy recovery and come back strong in 2026.
