If there has ever been a case for a player sticking around with a program and giving himself time to develop, it’s A.J. Hoggard. The former No. 101 ranked player in the 2020 recruiting class is finally coming into his own at Michigan State, and looks poised for a huge breakout season for the Spartans.
Recently, Hoggard was playing with some NBA talent at the CP3 elite guard camp, and not only hung with some NBA players, but stood out enough to draw some praise from ESPN draft analyst Jonathan Givony.

Over the past few years, we have heard a lot about Hoggard and his development. Hoggard has a great feel and plays physical, inspired basketball, but needed to work on his body, shooting and defensive skills, and it looks like it’s finally coming together for the MSU point guard heading into a much-hyped season.
