East Lansing — The wait has ended for the Rocket to land at Michigan State.

Mark “Rocket” Watts, the first commitment to Tom Izzo’s 2019 class, signed his national letter of intent on Wednesday, the first day of the spring signing period. The four-star Detroit native posted the news on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

The 6-foot-2 shooting guard who played his senior season at Spire Academy in Geneva, Ohio, originally committed to Michigan State in September but did not sign during the early period in mid-November.
