Michigan State basketball’s 2026 class gets even better with addition of top-100 PF

Michigan State basketball fans were ready for some good news on Wednesday afternoon as four-star power forward Julius Avent was getting set to make his college decision.

The Spartans were looking like the favorites to land Avent, especially since he cancelled his final official visit to Seton Hall that was supposed to be this weekend, and the Pirates were one of his three finalists. Usually, you don’t see a recruit cancel a visit to one of his finalists and end up picking that school.

That would mean that his final two were Michigan State and Xavier, with Seton Hall finishing third, assuming the cancelled visit implied something.
