Head coach Tom Izzo and the Spartans will remain busy as multiple prospects will be on campus for visits over the next month.
Four-star guard Antonio Pemberton included Michigan State in his final eight schools in July. He will head to East Lansing from Sept. 11-13 for a visit where he will get the chance to see the campus and meet with the coaching staff. That
just so happens to be Grind Week for the MSU basketball program.
Pemberton has six other visits scheduled as well. Here is his upcoming schedule for the fall:
- Tennessee: Aug. 21-23
- Kansas: Aug. 28-30
- Creighton: Sept. 3-5
- Michigan State: Sept. 11-13
- Ohio State: Sept. 18-20
- Boston College: Sept. 25-27
- UCLA: Oct. 23-25
Pemberton is currently ranked as the No. 35 overall player in the 2027 class. He is slated as the top player in Massachusetts and No. 9 point guard in the nation. He has remained a big target on Izzo’s radar during the recruiting process as he looks to keep the backcourt in good standing.
Michigan State Hosting 2028 Wing
The Spartans have also remained active in the 2028 class.
According to Corey Robinson of 247Sports, four-star Cole Kelly will be taking an unofficial visit to East Lansing on Sept. 4. He will be on campus for the season-opening football game against Toledo.
The 6-foot-7 wing has become one of the top prospects in the junior class. Kelly is currently ranked as the No. 2 player in Illinois via 247Sports. He is the No. 34 player nationally and No. 10 small forward. Out of Naperville, Illinois, Kelly has received many big-time offers from the likes of Illinois, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nebraska, Creighton, Marquette, Northwestern, and more.
Michigan State will begin to heat up with visits this fall, hoping to persuade some top prospects to come to East Lansing.
What should the priority be for the 2027 class and beyond for Izzo and his staff?
