Michigan State football commit Tyrell Henry shines in season opener

Michigan State football commit Tyrell Henry shines in season opener

Tyrell Henry has played an integral part in helping the MSU coaching staff recruit players to come join him in East Lansing. The WR from Roseville, Michigan, made his pledge to the Spartans in early February.

Henry’s senior season began this week with a game against Monroe High School. Henry’s Roseville Panthers hammered the Trojans by a score of 42-11.

Henry had a monster effort in the game, helping push Roseville to victory with two touchdowns and an interception, showing off his skills on both sides of the ball.

Michigan State football offers 2022 California DE

MSU has extended an offer to 2022 DE Devan Thompkins

Michigan State has extended an offer to Devan Thompkins, a defensive end from Stockton, California.

Thompkins, heading into his senior year, is strapping the on the pads for Edison High School. He is the nephew of former Ohio State linebacker Larry Grant.

After a five year absence from the game of football, Thompkins has picked the sport back up and it took just one game to earn offers from Michigan State, Utah, Arizona, and San Diego State.

At 6-foot-6, with a great frame to play the edge, Thompkins’ recruitment is sure to heat up.

Michigan State basketball target Isaac Traudt to make decision Saturday

A top 2022 PF target is making his decision this weekend

Michigan State and Tom Izzo got the 2022 recruiting class off to a good start, landing point guard Tre Holloman. Now, another top target, Issac Traudt is set to make his collegiate decision this weekend.

Traudt, a power forward from Grand Island, Nebraska, has been a top target for the staff since the beginning of the recruiting cycle. He took an official visit to East Lansing on June 17th.

The decision appears to be between Virginia, North Carolina, Nebraska, and MSU.

This would be a huge add to the 2022 recruiting class for Michigan State.

Recruiting Round-Up: How MSU football commits fared last week

Take a look at how Michigan State football’s commits played in week one of the high school season.

It is the start of a brand new year in football, the 2021 edition of football for high school, college and professional.

The high school season got kicked off this past weekend for several states across the country.

In this series, we will look at how Michigan State’s commits fared in their games from the prior week.

Mel Tucker has brought a lot of excitement around the program, especially when it comes to recruiting, and being able to keep up with how the newest Spartans are competing at the high school ranks will continue to bring excitement.

Michigan State basketball: Recruiting Big Board

Take a look at Michigan State basketball’s 2022 recruiting big board

The 2022 recruiting cycle is in full swing, summer basketball tournaments are going on all over the country and the MSU coaching staff is on the road trying to build the next class of Spartans.

There was a time where MSU had both Emoni Bates and Enoch Boakye as a part of the 2022 recruiting class. But now, both have decommitted, Bates likely going pro and Boakye reclassifying to 2021 and heading to Arizona State.

The Spartans are now left with an empty recruiting class, but that wont be for long.

Tentatively, there are five open scholarships after this year, but Joey Hauser, Gabe Brown, and Marcus Bingham may have the option for one more additional season. So we should expect anywhere from 2 to 5 additions in this class.

Let’s take a look at who MSU is targeting in the 2022 recruiting class:

Tom Izzo has yet to receive a commitment for his 2022 recruiting class. The MSU head man has been seen at a plethora of AAU tournaments in the recent weeks, trying to catch up in recruiting.

One kid that Izzo has seen a lot of is Braden Huff, a forward from Carol Stream, Illinois. Huff is AAU teammates with Jaden Schutt, another MSU top target.

Izzo has been spotted courtside at several of their games in recent weeks, and the result of it was an offer to Braden Huff.

Michigan State joins Creighton, DePaul, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, and Wisconsin, in offering Huff.

Huff has taken official visits to Northwestern, Vanderbilt, and Virginia Tech.

Michigan State football hosted their first camp since NCAA dead period was lifted on Sunday. There were a lot of prospects in attendance, trying to showcase their skills.

MSU hosted a group of international prospects, over 30 kids, stemming from all over Europe.

Kofi Taylor-Barrocks was a member of the group that came to East Lansing, a 6’3″, 220 pound OLB hailing from England. He is currently playing for the NFL Academy, a youth initiative to get more European kids opportunities playing football.

After a stellar performance at MSU’s camp where Taylor-Barrocks showed off his skills, along with his speed as he ran a 4.6 40-yard dash, the Michigan State coaching staff granted him with an offer.

The Spartans are his first offer. Taylor-Barrocks will be heading around the country with this group, camping at multiple schools.

Michigan State added a new commit, the 15th of the 2022 class, on Tuesday night when Minneapolis, Minnesota defensive end Chase Carter pledged to the Spartans.

Carter brings a wealth of good qualities to the Michigan State football program, and his personality certainly ranks up near the top.

The Spartans won a pivotal recruiting battle against the Iowa Hawkeyes, and now they look to close the deal on a couple of other top targets.

Carter is certainly doing his part, for both the football and basketball programs, trying to bring more top talent to East Lansing with him:
