Tom Izzo could be less than a week away from landing yet another five-star prospect.
Enoch Boakye, who is set to announce his college decision on July 28, has been upgraded to a five-star player in the latest 247Sports top 150 re-rank for the class of 2022. Boakye is now the No. 18 player in the entire class of 2022 and the No. 3 center in the class. He had previously been a high four-star player and the No. 20 prospect in the 2022 class.
Michigan State is considered the heavy favorite to land the six-foot-ten star out of George Harris Prep in Mississauga. All twelve predictors on Rivals and 247Sports have Michigan State landing the big man. Boakye has offers from Arizona, BYU, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and UCLA among a number of others. Duke and Kentucky are also recruiting him, but are yet to offer.
MSU’s 2022 class is the best in the country with No. 1 overall prospect Emoni Bates as its lone commit. Boakye’s addition would further cement MSU’s No. 1 status. If Bates does reclassify into 2021, Boakye would make for a great building block of the 2022 class, although he, too, is considering reclassifying in 2021.
