Coen Carr and Xavier Booker will participate in the Iverson Classic

This fall, Tom Izzo will have one of his best classes ever come into East Lansing, headlined by McDonald’s All-Americans Jeremy Fears and Xavier Booker.

Since we will already get to see Booker in the McDonald’s All-American Game, this will be a great showcase for Coen Carr, who is a dynamic dunker and defender and should have some awesome highlights in this one.

Xavier Booker is going to be a lot of fun to watch in a Spartans uniform next year

Michigan State fans are going to love watching Xavier Booker next year.

The five-star center Michigan State commit has been dominant at the high school level, and on Friday night he threw down a monster dunk that got SportsCenter’s attention. Check out the alley-oop dunk from Booker below:

Booker ranks as the No. 2 center and No. 8 overall prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the 2023 class. He’s also the top player in the state of Indiana.

Booker is part of an elite 2023 class that ranks as the No. 3 class in all of college basketball. I personally can’t wait for Booker to join Michigan State next year and look forward to what he’ll bring to the court for the Spartans.
