The Spartans haven&#8217;t received any good news on that front (still holding onto a sliver of hope that Jase Richardson turns down the NBA to chase a National Championship next year), but Michigan State is still in Parrish&#8217;s latest top 15.<\/p>\n<p>Parrish has the Spartans at No. 15 in his latest rankings released on Tuesday. That is essentially where he&#8217;s had Michigan State since the NCAA Tournament ended as well.<\/p>\n<p>Among their Big Ten peers, Michigan State is No. 4 on Parrish&#8217;s list. He has the following teams ranked ahead of Michigan State from the Big Ten: Purdue (No. 4), Michigan (No. 8) and UCLA (No. 10). Parrish also included Oregon (No. 16), Illinois (No. 23), Wisconsin (No. 25) and Ohio State (No. 26) in his rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the complete &#8220;Top 25 And 1&#8221; rankings from Parrish by clicking on the post below:<\/p>\n<p>Contact\/Follow us @<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thespartanswire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The SpartansWire<\/a> on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SpartansWire\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> to follow ongoing coverage of Michigan State news, notes and opinion.
