2021 4-star Guard Pierre Brooks committed to Michigan State for in April after a virtual visit.  Originally, Rivals150 ranked Brooks as the No. 109 prospect in the country for the 2021 recruiting class. In the most recent Rivals150, Brooks skyrockets all the way to the No. 75 ranking.

Brooks is a 6-foot-6 guard and weighs 205 pounds. He currently plays for Frederick Douglass High School in Detroit, MI.

Brooks’ offense is so well balanced and impressive. He boasts plenty of dribble moves, he can get to the rim, and he can create his own shot. All the while, he makes smart passes and finds open teammates.

4-star 2020 Guard AJ Hoggard may still be around by the time Brooks arrives at the campus in East Lansing. Michigan State’s backcourt will have some solid depth for the next few years.

Graham hails from Milwaukee, WI, where he plays for Nicolet High School. The 6’8″ and 205 pound Forward has received a flurry of offers just in the past week from Georgia and Cincinnati. He also has offers from Big Ten teams such as Maryland, Rutgers, and Iowa.

MSU has not yet officially made an offer and will likely set up a virtual visit first. The Spartans have already landed the commitment of the No. 1 player in Michigan, 4-star Guard Pierre Brooks. Graham would be an excellent addition to Brooks in the 2021 recruiting class.
