Michigan State’s Joey Hauser Fifth-Best Transfer in CBB

Joey Hauser is listed as the fifth best transfer to play in the upcoming basketball season.

From CBS Sports, David Cobb ranked the top-10 transfers who will play in the 2021-22 college basketball season after having to sit out last season.

Michigan State's Joey Hauser was ranked fifth overall. When Cobb evaluated him, he said, "Joey Hauser split with his brother, who is headed to Virginia, and will resume his career at Michigan State after averaging 9.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists as a freshman at Marquette in the 2018-19 season. The Spartans return plenty of talent from last season's 22-9 squad, but the younger Hauser is a 6-9 forward who can hit 3-pointers, and he could play a key role over the next three seasons for the Spartans."

  1. Sam Hauser, Virginia
  2. James Akinjo, Arizona
  3. R.J. Cole, UConn
  4. David Jenkins Jr., UNLV
  5. Joey Hauser, Michigan State
  6. Caleb Daniels, Villanova
  7. Joel Ntambwe, Texas Tech
  8. Ithiel Horton, Pittsburgh
  9. Jared Bynum, Providence
  10. Noah Horchler, Providence

The NCAA denied Hauser's appeal, which made him ineligible to play for the Spartans last year. He played for Marquette during the 2018-19 season, where he averaged 9.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game while playing in all 34 games.
