Tom Izzo and Michigan State basketball have been heavily scouting the 2026 recruiting class, and all the hard work may soon be paying off.
Michigan State has already secured a commitment from four-star point guard Carlos Medlock Jr., and it has upcoming visits with Ethan Taylor and Jalyn Collingwood this weekend for Midnight Madness. It feels like the momentum is on the Spartans’ side.
Well, on Monday, the program got even more good news. Michigan State is a finalist for one of the top power forwards in the 2026 class, Julius Avent, who is announcing his decision on Wednesday.
