Tom Izzo proves that he’s still elite, lands top-35 SG over Tennessee, NC State

Tom Izzo’s still got it, folks.

The 2026 class has been one of the most talked about subjects regarding Michigan State athletics since the end of the 2024-25 season which produced an Elite Eight and Big Ten title, and it’s becoming one of the most celebrated groups of commits in probably a decade.

About 10 years ago, Izzo landed a class with Cassius Winston, Josh Langford, Miles Bridges, and Nick Ward, and the rest was history. That group produced a Final Four, three Big Ten titles, and an NBA Lottery pick. Its final NCAA Tournament run was cut short due to COVID-19, however, so we’ll never be able to talk about that class producing a national title — some argue 2020 was MSU’s to lose.
