Washington, Florida State, and Maryland are all contenders for the highly-touted player from Virginia. He stands at 6-foot-7, 185 pounds and is being pursued hard by Maryland assistant Mike Jones.<\/p>\n<p>The Michigan State coaching staff is looking to kick off the 2025 recruiting class with a bang. Scott would be the first member of the class and would be a nice get following a couple great years on the recruiting trail for Tom Izzo and Co. After signing the fifth-ranked 2023 class, MSU currently sits with the No. 15 recruiting class in 2024. If Michigan State can stack three elite recruiting classes in a row, either Izzo will have the talent he needs for a second\u00a0title or whoever is the heir to the throne will kick things off with an elite team.<\/p>\n<p>As of right now, there is no timeline for Scott\u2019s commitment. It is assumed he will continue taking visits and assess the college basketball landscape prior to making a decision on where he will play his college ball.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect anything soon, but this is a recruiting battle to keep an eye on for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jordan Scott is being pursued heavily by MSU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":12571,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[188],"tags":[692,190,189,504],"class_list":["post-12561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bb-recruiting","tag-jordan-scott","tag-michigan-state-basketball","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12561\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
