Top MSU Basketball 2020 recruiting target Karim Mane enters NBA draft but keeps eligibility

The last remaining unsigned 5-star recruit in the 2020 class and MSU’s top recruiting prospect Karim Mane will enter the NBA Draft process.

According to Jonathan Givony of ESPN, the top-ranked unsigned recruit for the 2020 class and highly coveted Michigan State recruiting target Karim Mane, the 5-star combo guard from Vanier College in Quebec, has sent in his paperwork for the 2020 NBA Draft but is still keeping his college eligibility intact.

“I sent in my paperwork, but I am keeping my options open as far as college,” Mane told ESPN on Thursday. “I am not planning on hiring an agent right now. I want to hear directly from teams. If I can get a guarantee I’ll be drafted, I will probably need to think about staying in.”

Mane will go through the pre-draft process and be able to gauge interest from teams before making a decision to stay in the draft or head to one of the five teams he has identified as his final choices, one of which being Michigan State. Mane took a virtual visit with the Spartans last week.
