And there is one prominent recruit who has been rumored to be a Michigan State lean for some time. His name? Bryson Tucker.<\/p>\n<p>The 6-foot-6, 180-pound small forward from Virginia is one of the top prospects available in the 2024 class and Michigan State is the only &#8220;warm&#8221; program for him on 247Sports. The Spartans have been long rumored to be the favorites to land Tucker and end the class with a five-star to go along with three four-stars. He would also fill a need at small forward.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker is ranked the No. 19 overall recruit and seventh-best small forward in the 2024 class.<\/p>\n<p>If Michigan State basketball is able to land Tucker, the nation&#8217;s seventh-best recruiting class will likely move into that top-five range. A class of Tucker, Richardson, Teng, and McCulloch would rival the 2023 class. Of course, I think the 2023 class would be better, but it would complement this 2024 group. Back-to-back top-five classes would be massive. It would show that Izzo isn&#8217;t done yet.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s great to see Izzo acknowledge that the class isn&#8217;t done yet, especially since Michigan State could be losing Tyson Walker, Mady Sissoko, Malik Hall, Jaden Akins, and AJ Hoggard this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>If he&#8217;s not able to land Tucker (I think he will), I could see him turning his attention to the portal, even if he claims he hates it. Heck, he could do both land Tucker and add a portal star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2024 class is signed, but it may not be done yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[188],"tags":[59,190,189,504,211],"class_list":["post-8621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bb-recruiting","tag-featured","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\/8621","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\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
