The Michigan State Spartans have two commits in the 2025 class and they are looking ahead to the 2026 cycle, too. This latest episode breaks it down.
The Michigan State Spartans landed two forwards from the 2025 recruiting cycle, Jordan Scott and Cam Ward, and head coach Tom Izzo ought to be happy about it.
The Spartans are also turning their attention to the 2026 class, too, and our recruiting beat writer Michael France and Sports Illustrated host Claudette Montana break down the 2025 class and beyond:and W. Below is an excerpt of each scouting report.Scott is a big wing with versatile potential on both ends of the floor.
Overall, Scott has size, two-way tools, and overall instincts that translate up levels, and thus clear long-term upside, but he's farther away physically than most four-star prospects and thus going to require some patience before he can build up his body to play through the level of contact he's going to see at the next level.
Defensively too, he is more naturally suited to defend fours than threes, but he's plenty physical and a high-volume rebounder who can finish possessions next to a rim-protecting five. Ward is also a coach's son who competes with consistent energy, understands the game, and appears to be a good teammate. The bottom line is that when Ward embraces being a four-man, he's a hugely productive and efficient as both a scorer and rebounder.
