Tom Izzo and Michigan State basketball got some good news on Wednesday afternoon.
Four-star power forward, and top-80 overall prospect, Julius Avent announced that he would be committing to Michigan State over Xavier and Seton Hall. He visited campus on Aug. 30, and Izzo took a trip out east to see him last week.
Whatever Izzo said must have worked because he canceled his final visit to Seton Hall this weekend to make his decision. He’s now the Spartans’ second 2026 class commit along with Carlos Medlock Jr.
Izzo is obviously still working on other priority targets with 2-3 spots likely available for the 2026 cycle, but there’s one guy that’s atop everyone’s wish list: Jasiah Jervis.
