Michigan State basketball offers elite Detroit PG Darius Acuff

Michigan State basketball has finally offered elite Detroit Cass Tech point guard Darius Acuff on Tuesday night.

East Lansing, Mich. — Darius Acuff is a 6-foot-2 point guard from Detroit. He plays at Cass Tech and during the spring and summer spends his time playing with The Family, an AAU team sponsored by Nike based in Detroit.

Acuff and The Family played in Mesa, Ariz., this past weekend against other Nike-sponsored teams from across the country. The best of the best.

And he put on a show.

Acuff is in the 2025 class and should be playing at the 16u level. Instead, he plays up an age group and looks effortless doing it. So far after two sessions on the EYBL circuit Acuff is fifth in scoring, averaging 19.9 points per game.

Yes, that’s right, while playing up an age group.

Here’s a video of the crafty point guard putting up 30, and getting the win.

His performance this weekend was enough to earn a scholarship offer from Michigan State basketball. Head coach Tom Izzo had watched the point guard play in Session 1 in Atlanta. Last weekend in Arizona, both Thomas Kelley and Doug Wojcik were found sitting courtside watching the electric guard go to work.

Despite his talent, Acuff is still left unranked on the major recruiting sites. Even with the lack of stars, he has offers from Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan, and now the Spartans. That’s a pretty good offer sheet if you ask me.

With Acuff being a Michigan native, Izzo and Co. are expected to make a big push.

Could Darius Acuff one day be suited up in the green and white?
