Michigan State Spartans

Sparty and Tom Izzo never seem to be short on talent. This year is no exception. Tom Izzo is really good at getting the most out of the talent that he has and that is evident by his results in the postseason. He plays his style and never deviates from it. With numerous wins and NCAA tournament appearances, it is hard to argue against his system.

SF Jaren Jackson – La Porte, IN

Rated ∗∗∗∗∗ and #7 by 247Sports

Jaren attended La Lumiere, which was one of the best high school programs in the country this year. Jaren is 6’10” with a 7’0” wing span, which should help him fit in nicely at the forward position in the Big Ten. Jaren is a fantastic offensive rebounder and has a really good shooting stroke out to the three point line. Jaren is quite possibly a one-and-done prospect.
