Tre Holloman’s Next Big Play: From Michigan State to NC State!
Raleigh, NC — In a move that’s sure to excite basketball fans, former Michigan State guard Tre Holloman has announced his commitment to play for the North Carolina State Wolfpack, marking a fresh start for his final college basketball season. This exciting news was revealed on social media on a sunny Sunday afternoon, bringing a wave of anticipation to fans who are eager to see how Holloman will thrive under the guidance of NC State’s new head coach, Will Wade.
Why the Transfer?
After wrapping up an impressive junior year with the Spartans, Holloman decided to enter the transfer portal within just 36 hours of Michigan State’s Elite Eight exit in the NCAA Tournament. During his time at MSU, he not only showcased his skills on the court but also served as a co-captain, leading the team with a strong work ethic and impressive stats.
Holloman’s Impressive Performance at MSU
In the recently concluded season, Holloman averaged 9.1 points per game alongside 3.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds. His shooting skill was particularly noteworthy, boasting a 37.3% accuracy from beyond the arc and a stellar 85.1% from the free-throw line. The 6-foot-2 combo guard also started in 16 of the 37 games this season, indicating his vital role on the team.
His stellar performance peaked in crucial games, and he consistently managed to contribute significant scoring. Holloman notched at least 10 points in 16 of those games, and he even put up a season-high of 20 points in a thrilling regular-season finale against Michigan. Fans will remember his breathtaking last-second three-pointer against Maryland – a memory etched in the hearts of Spartan supporters.
Moving Forward with NC State
Now, as Holloman joins NC State—a team looking to bounce back from a disappointing 12-19 record season—he hopes to bring his competitive edge and experience to a roster that includes other exciting transfers like Alyn Breed and Quadir Copeland. The Wolfpack had a tough time last year, finishing with 5-15 in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), but the additions like Holloman bring hope for a turnaround.
A Track Record of Success
Over his three-year career at MSU, Holloman tallied an impressive total of 580 points and 250 assists, illustrating his capability as a playmaker. His career assist-to-turnover ratio stands at a commendable 2.5, showing that he knows how to maintain possession while creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.
During his run in the NCAA Tournament, Holloman averaged 10 points and 3.25 assists, further solidifying his reputation as a clutch player when it mattered most. He scored in double figures in seven of the last nine games he played for Michigan State, highlighting his ability to shine under pressure.
What Lies Ahead?
As the transfer portal remains open until April 22, other players are still exploring their options, with multiple Michigan State players, including Xavier Booker and Gehrig Normand, making similar choices this offseason. For Holloman, the excitement is just beginning. Fans of NC State eagerly await to see how he will merge with his new teammates and contribute to rebuilding a stronger program.
The stage is set for Tre Holloman as he embarks on this new chapter in Raleigh. With his noted skill, determination, and past successes, he’s ready to ignite the Wolfpack and help them rise from the ashes of last season’s disappointments.
