Tom Izzo Confident in MSU Basketball's Recruiting Outlook

“We’re still out recruiting, this and that, that’s intensified a lot,” Izzo said on the most recent episode of The Tom Izzo Radio Show. “So, we’ll see what happens here in the next couple of days. I think things might shake out.”

While he cannot mention the player by name per NCAA rules, Izzo could be heavily insinuating that the Spartans will land four-star guard Jasiah Jervis. The No. 38 overall player will announce his commitment this afternoon. 

Jervis is deciding among five schools: Michigan State, Pittsburgh, NC State, Tennessee, and Illinois. No one at 247Sports has logged a Crystal Ball prediction for Jervis and where he might end up. 

However, sources indicate to Spartans on SI that MSU sits in a good position with Jervis. 

If MSU can secure that commitment, it will usurp Florida State into the No. 4 class in the nation. But the Spartans may not be done after Jervis. 

The Spartans are also trending well for high four-star center Ethan Taylor. MSU is fighting off Indiana and Kansas for his services. 

If the Spartans can land Taylor, they would own the best recruiting class in the country. Izzo, at 70 years old, can still recruit with the best programs in the nation. 

While recruiting has changed in the last few years to Izzo’s chagrin, he still knows how to sell high school recruits on the vision and culture of being a Spartan. 

If he can land two of the better players in the country, the future of Spartan basketball will be bright.
