Michigan State basketball: 4-star PF Jesse McCulloch signs NLI with the Spartans

4-star PF Jesse McCulloch signs NLI with the Spartans

It’s the first day of the college basketball national letter of intent signing day, and one of the key pieces of the Michigan State basketball 2024 recruiting class wasted no time in making it official, as 4-star power forward Jesse McCulloch signed his national letter of intent on Wednesday.

McCulloch had given the Spartans a verbal commitment back in April, and now is set to officially join the program next year.

McCulloch will plan to join Kur Teng and Jase Richardson in the 2024 class.

McCulloch is an interesting signing for MSU. At one point, seen as a mid-major talent, McCulloch kept growing and working on his game and conditioning to elevate himself to a Big Ten level talent.

Latest commit pushes MSU basketball into top 5 nationally in 2024 recruiting cycle

It’s still very early, but Michigan State is off to a great start in the 2024 recruiting cycle

It’s still very early, but Michigan State is off to a great start in the 2024 recruiting cycle.

The Spartans picked up their second commitment in the 2024 class earlier this week when four-star center Jesse McCulloch picked Michigan State over Alabama, Xavier and Virginia Tech. He joined fellow four-star and top 40 recruit Kur Teng who committed to the Spartans in early April.

With a pair of four-star commits, Michigan State now holds the No. 5 recruiting class nationally on 247Sports. The Spartans are behind only Rutgers at No. 4 from the Big Ten.

Michigan State signed the No. 4 recruiting class for the 2023 cycle, and is already off to a great start in 2024. It’s still very early in the process so we shouldn’t read too much into this high ranking at the moment, but it’s still nice for Spartans fans to see their team’s name towards the top of this list.

Wisconsin offers 2024 PF Jesse McCulloch

Greg Gard and his coaching staff have extended a scholarship offer to fast-rising forward in the 2024 recruiting class:

After impressing at the Nike EYBL Peach Jam, Greg Gard and his coaching staff extended a scholarship offer to fast-rising 2024 power forward Jesse McCulloch out of Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday.

The 6-foot-9, 190-pound forward currently holds offers from Akron, Butler, Cleveland State, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Michigan State, Missouri, Ohio, Toledo, and Virginia Tech.

McCulloch, a standout at Lutheran East High School, is currently unranked by all reputable recruiting services but will likely see that change given the number of high-major offers he’s recently received.

You can watch his highlights here.

The unranked big man is a lanky, stretch four with a good face-up game that can excel in both the pick, roll/pick, and pop. He also has the defensive versatility and lateral speed to switch onto guards, making him an intriguing two-way prospect for a defensive-minded coach like Gard.

The Ohio native announced his scholarship offer from the University of Wisconsin via his Twitter account:
