Michigan State coach Tom Izzo and players are coping with the death of Zachary Winston as the No. 3 Spartans prepare to face Seton Hall on Thursday.

EAST LANSING — Tom Izzo’s next batch of Michigan State basketball recruits have one thing in common.

And a big reason he is happy with signing AJ Hoggard and Mady Sissoko.

“I’m very pleased and happy with the two kids we got,” Izzo said Wednesday. “We definitely want guys that want to be here. And I think we got two guys that definitely want to be here.”

The two four-star prospects both signed their letters of intent Wednesday, giving Izzo a versatile guard and a lengthy post player for 2020.
