Michigan State Spartans coach Tom Izzo had a successful 2024 recruiting cycle, landing two promising four-star forwards for the 2025 class while also making significant strides in securing top 2026 prospects.

He also landed two players he was really high on while putting himself in a very good position to land elite 2026 prospects.Michigan State has two Top 50-type talents in their 2025 haul with four-star forwards Jordan Scott and Cam Ward. Both are tough, two-way East Coast hoopers.
Scott, from Virginia, is a tough, high IQ player who chose Michigan State, in part, because he knew what he was getting with Izzo. It fit what he wanted in a coach -- a tough leader who will do whatever it takes to make his players better. A world-class developer.
