They\u2019ve been out to <a href=\"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/michigan-state-basketball-heavily-pursuing-top-30-prospect\/\">visit many recruits in person<\/a>, but they haven\u2019t had very many visitors make a trip to East Lansing recently.<\/p>\n<p>That, however, will change this weekend as a highly ranked in-state recruit will be in town.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Top150 junior Gregory Lawson will visit <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MichiganState?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MichiganState<\/a> this weekend for their home game against Ohio State. <\/p>\n<p>He completed unofficial visits to Notre Dame &amp; Xavier last year and caught up with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/247Sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@247Sports<\/a> to discuss his recruitment. <\/p>\n<p>VIP | <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NnlHr3PAxw\">https:\/\/t.co\/NnlHr3PAxw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/44uU1FtEAV\">pic.twitter.com\/44uU1FtEAV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Brandon Jenkins (@BJenkins247) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BJenkins247\/status\/1760677596147462216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 22, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Three-star point guard Gregory Lawson<\/h3>\n<p>Gregory Lawson is a three-star point guard from Detroit, Mich. He is one of the top prospects in the state of Michigan, currently No. 2 according to 247Sports. It also has Lawson as the No. 125 player in the class and No. 22 point guard as well.<\/p>\n<p>Lawson is also right on the cusp of earning the coveted fourth star as well. He currently has an 89\/100 rating which is the highest rating possible for a three-star. The lowest four-star is also No. 111 in the country, so Lawson isn\u2019t too far off right now.<\/p>\n<h3>Recruiting competition<\/h3>\n<p>Lawson has received many offers from big schools including Florida State, Arkansas, Xavier, Penn State, and Louisville. He doesn\u2019t have an offer from Michigan State, but that could change.<\/p>\n<p>This will be Lawson\u2019s second visit to Michigan State, as he also visited East Lansing last year on Sept. 16. Izzo wouldn&#8217;t just have any recruit come to campus multiple times if he wasn\u2019t interested, so that\u2019s why I think a scholarship offer could come this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>There are no predictions in his recruitment yet and there also is no timeline for a decision date from Lawson. But he has also taken recent visits to Notre Dame and Xavier as well, so those schools could be at the top of his list right now.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m very curious to see if MSU will offer Lawson this weekend or not. That will tell us just how interested Izzo is in pursuing him. If a scholarship offer comes, that will tell us he is a priority for Izzo. However, if MSU doesn\u2019t offer him that will make two straight visits to East Lansing without receiving an offer, meaning Izzo hasn&#8217;t made him a priority and is just keeping him on the radar.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned as I\u2019m sure a lot of info will be released about his trip after this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A big visit for MSU and Gregory Lawson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":14845,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[188],"tags":[721,190,189,504,211],"class_list":["post-14794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bb-recruiting","tag-gregory-lawson","tag-michigan-state-basketball","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-news","tag-tom-izzo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14794","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\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
