Ladies & gentlemen, Michigan State basketball has officially made an offer to Top-50 sophomore SF Ty Rodgers. This comes just a few days after Tom Izzo and company contacted Rodgers. Note, Izzo was one of the very first coaches to reach out to Rodgers.

Ty Rodgers is the definition of an athlete and can score at all 3 levels. Michigan State’s offer to Rodgers is just the first of many to come. There is no doubt this local talent will attract the attention of many top-tier collegiate programs.

According to 247Sports Composite Rankings, Rodgers is a 4-star SF ranking as the No. 2 prospect in Michigan in the 2022 recruiting class. The only player ranked ahead of Rodgers in MI is Emoni Bates. Note, Bates is also the No. 1 prospect in the entire 2022 recruiting class!

Michigan State Basketball: final recruit rankings for 2020 commits

Here are the final recruitment rankings for the 2020 Michigan State basketball recruits as we approach the college basketball season.

[jwplayer ofLF0moh]

Tom Izzo does not expect face-to-face practices until the end of July. When this happens though, he will be practicing with some fresh faces from the 2020 recruiting class. This includes both 4-star Guard AJ Hoggard and 4-star Center Mady Sissoko.

Here is where the 2 incoming freshmen rank among their peers in the final 2020 recruiting rankings:

AJ Hoggard

Mady Sissoko

Aaron Henry and Xavier Tillman still have time to withdraw from the NBA draft. This decision plays into playing time for both Sissoko and Hoggard. Simply put, Henry’s absence will open up more time for Hoggard to play as a perimeter ball handler.

Tillman’s absence will create a need for strong rim protection outside of big man Marcus Bingham Jr. Luckily enough, Mady Sissoko boasts a beastly 7-foot-4 wingspan. He and Bingham Jr. can make an incredibly formidable tandem down in the paint.

Michigan State basketball has held virtual visits with a number of sensational 2021 recruits including 5-star C Charles Bediako. Now, the Spartans are eyeing a fast-rising recruit in 2021 Small Forward James Graham III.

According to Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers, Graham has “garnered interest” from Michigan State basketball. Note, Stockrisers refers to Graham as a 4-star player.

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.
