Michigan State basketball will be on commit watch next week

Michigan State basketball could land its first 2024 commit on Monday with four-star shooting guard Kur Teng deciding.

Tom Izzo has been recruiting like a madman in recent classes and his work is not done yet. The Michigan State basketball coach landed the No. 3 class in the country for 2023 and the 2024 group looks like it could be just as impressive.

There are several targets on the board for the Spartans in 2024 and one of them could kick off the class with a bang early next week.

Kur Teng, one of Michigan State’s top targets in the 2024 class, tweeted on Thursday night that he would be committing on Monday and choosing between Providence, Rutgers, and MSU.

The feeling here is that it’s a two-team race between the Spartans and Scarlet Knights, especially since Ed Cooley left Providence for Georgetown. And a couple of weeks ago, an insider (Andrew Slater) stated that Michigan State and Izzo are in a favorable spot.

So let’s just say that Michigan State does land Teng, that gives the team a heck of a lineup for the 2024-25 season. While Teng could come off the bench, I’m just imagining a lineup with him in there (even more of a dream scenario if Jaden Akins comes back for a senior year):

• PG: Jeremy Fears
• Wing: Jaden Akins
• Wing: Coen Carr (Teng off the bench)
• PF: Xavier Booker/Jaxon Kohler
• C: Flory Bidunga (dream addition)

That lineup is not only Big Ten title-worthy, but it could push for a national title as well. Heck, next year’s team already looks like it could win a title but Izzo is only improving the recruiting classes.

Kicking off the 2024 class with the No. 37 overall recruit and No. 8 shooting guard would be unbelievable and it could set off a domino effect.

Keep it tuned in here as we’ll have the updates on Monday afternoon when Teng decides.
