Xavier Booker commits to Michigan State

Class of 2023 forward Xavier Booker has announced his commitment to the Michigan State Spartans.

Booker, a top-five recruit at Rivals, On3 and 247 Sports, was once recruited by the Kentucky Wildcats before cutting them from his list when he announced his top 10, which included Auburn, Michigan, Gonzaga, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Purdue, Oregon, Cincinnati, Indiana, and Michigan State.

The Cats recruited Booker through the spring and summer. He was wanting to visit Lexington. However, contact between the two slowed down, and a visit never occurred.

Now that Booker is off the board and heading to Michigan State, John Calipari and Kentucky will look to finish off their 2023 frontcourt with Aaron Bradshaw and Ron Holland.
