Michigan State has added another to its men's basketball team. And this one won't cost them a scholarship.

Jack Hoiberg, the son of Chicago Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg, announced on Twitter Saturday that he'll join the Spartans in the fall. He'll be a preferred walk-on.

Hoiberg, a senior at Hinsdale Central in suburban Chicago, was committed to South Dakota to play golf, a sport in which he's won two state titles. The left-handed-shooting 5-foot-9 guard wants to follow in his dad's footsteps and coach one day, according to a CSNChicago.com story.

With Miles Bridges returning for his sophomore season, the Spartans have one scholarship remaining for next season. They are in pursuit of five-star guard Brian Bowen, big man Brandon McCoy and four-star guard Mark Smith. They may have a second scholarship available if the NCAA denies another year of eligibility for Ben Carter.

Fred Hoiberg played 10 seasons in the NBA before turning to coaching, first at his alma mater Iowa State, and for the the last two seasons with the Bulls, who are to begin a first-round playoff series with the Celtics Sunday in Boston.
