Michigan State basketball makes final cut for top-100 PF Julius Avent

Michigan State basketball recruiting is heating up as the summer draws nearer to an end, and visits are being scheduled, and top schools lists are being released.

Tom Izzo has done a great job of creating his recruiting board, identifying his top targets, and he's already landed his first commitment in four-star point guard Carlos Medlock Jr. who has been sky-rocketing up the rankings this summer.

What Izzo has been doing that feels different than what he's done in recent years has been expanding his recruiting board. In the past, he's focused on a few guys, and he's put all of his eggs in one basket only to be let down in the end and be forced to find a Plan B or Plan C target to work on.
