Michigan State basketball: Tom Izzo visits top 20 guard in 2025 class

Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo hit the road this week to check in on a top-20 guard in the 2025 class.

With a slightly larger gap than normal between Michigan State basketball games, Tom Izzo could hit the road and continue recruiting the 2025 class. It’s not very often that you see Izzo visit recruits in person during the season, but that’s what he just did this week.

Four-star guard Davion Hannah

Davion Hannah is the recruit Izzo took the time to visit in person this week. He is a four-star guard from Milwaukee, Wisc. The post above states he is a top 50 player which is accurate to his rankings on On3 and Rivals, but 247Sports is much higher on him. In fact, 247Sports ranks Davion as the No. 20 player in the country and No. 5 at his position.

Hannah has received many high-profile offers from other schools including Marquette, Wisconsin, Iowa, Oregon, and Auburn as well as Michigan State. But whenever Izzo prioritizes a recruit, I become much more confident.

And that appears to be exactly what Izzo is doing. As I mentioned before, it’s not very often that Izzo hits the road and recruits during the season. So since he is making this much of an effort right now, it speaks volumes of how much of a priority he is.

Recent monster game from Davion

Hannah recently posted highlights of his game a few days ago, and man did he shine in this game. It unfortunately wasn’t the game Izzo was at, but it shows how talented he is. In the below clip, he went for 20 points, 19 rebounds, and five assists in his team’s close win.

No predictions have been made and no timeline has been set for Hannah’s recruitment yet. But Izzo prioritizing him this much makes me confident. If Izzo can get Davion to visit campus, that could be the tipping point in this recruitment in MSU’s favor.
