Michigan State<\/a> fans were very excited when Xavier Booker<\/a> committed to MSU, and rightfully so. He was a five-star out of high school and the No. 11 player in his class. It\u2019s not very often we get a player of his caliber, but Booker is a little different compared to your average five-star.<\/p>\n The coaching staff and MSU insiders made it clear that Booker would be a work in progress. He wouldn\u2019t be someone that would come in and dominate from day one. That doesn\u2019t mean that Booker\u2019s a bad player, he just needs more time to get acclimated to college ball.<\/p>\n Tom Izzo<\/a> discussed recently how his development is going. Specifically how the rest of the team has been helping him and coaching him up.<\/p>\n The best teams in basketball are always the \u201cplayer coached\u201d teams. This means that players hold each other accountable and push each other to get better, not needing the motivation to always come from the coaches.

He described multiple times as \u201cunbelievable\u201d the way the guys have been pushing him and coaching him up.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d like to see him somewhere else with a staff and players who spend as much\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/yO3TpcpMYm<\/a><\/p>\n — Michigan State Content (@msucontent) January 6, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nTom Izzo discusses his teams help in developing Booker<\/h3>\n
