Michigan State schedules official visits with two 5-star recruits
It’s no secret that Michigan State basketball has a lot of work to do in the recruiting world. We’ve now reached July and Tom Izzo and his staff are yet to receive a commitment in the 2025 class. I wouldn’t say it’s panic time yet, but I think we’d all love to see that class begin to take shape.Even though Michigan State has yet to earn a commitment, it hasn’t been due to a lack of effort. In fact, Izzo has just scheduled two official visits with two of the best prospects in the 2025 class.

Four-star big man Jesse McCulloch commits to Michigan State

That much was clear Thursday when the Spartans landed a commitment from Jesse McCulloch, a 6-foot-9 center from Cleveland who is ranked a four-star recruit by 247Sports, ESPN and On3. He’s ranked a three-star by Rivals but ranks as the No. 85 player in the 2024 class, according to 247Sports.

Teng is one of the better shooters in the class and if you want to get really excited about this commitment, Justin Thind of 247Sports even compared his game to Josh Langford’s.

Michigan State’s 2024 class could be just as special as 2023
Like the 2023 class, the 2024 group might start off slowly for Izzo and Co. as there are zero commitments just yet, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see one during the season or shortly after.
