Michigan State received some major news on Friday evening as Carlos Medlock Jr. committed and became the first member of Tom Izzo's 2026 recruiting class ahead of a Sept. 5 official visit.
The Spartans have to feel good about the class now because they got their point guard, and now he's going to help the Hall of Fame head coach recruit future teammates in the class. This couldn't have worked out better for Izzo, especially since Medlock has been one of the fastest risers in the 2026 class.
The talented point guard from Michigan moved to Missouri to play his final season of prep ball which was thought to make it even tougher on Izzo to recruit him, but that didn't matter.
