Michigan’s Mr. Basketball is the most prestigious award you can win in high school basketball in Michigan. In 2021, that honor goes to incoming Spartan Pierre Brooks II. As mentioned in the tweet below he led Detroit Douglass to the Division 4 state title last week.

He becomes the 21st Spartan commit to win the award in the 101-year history of the award. He is also the first Spartan to win the award since Foster Loyer did 2018.

Brooks II averaged 33.1 points per game and 9.3 rebounds per game in his senior season. Brooks II finished his career with 2,889 points which is the most of any senior edging out Foster Wonders who had 2,573 points. Brooks will be a great addition to a Spartans team that needs a lethal shooter.

Here is a photo gallery of Brooks II at the state title game.

WATCH: Highlights and comments from Tom Izzo on each recruit from MSU’s 2021 class

The class ranks No. 6 in 247Sports for 2021 — which is only second to Michigan in the Big Ten.

Michigan State Basketball wrapped up one of Tom Izzo’s best classes of all-time on Wednesday, when Jaden Atkins, Pierre Brooks II and Max Christie all signed their National Letters of Intent to become Spartans.

The class ranks No. 6 in 247Sports for 2021 — which is only second to Michigan in the Big Ten. Keep in mind that ranking could rise even higher if 2022 star recruit Emoni Bates reclassifies to the 2021 class.

“In summing these three players up, you’ve got great student-athletes, you’ve got great size for their positions and people who can play both ends of the court,” Izzo said in a press release provided by MSU Athletics on Wednesday. “I think a really encouraging thing is they are guys that can shoot the ball, but I think they are guys that want to win and guys that want to be here. That, to me, is more valuable than anything.”

MSU also published some really interesting welcome videos for each recruit on Wednesday evening, including highlights and comments on each recruit from Izzo. Get a closer look at each of the new Spartans below:
