Michigan State 2016 commit Nick Ward jumps in Rivals’ recruiting rankings

Michigan State‘s 2016 basketball recruiting class is earning nearly the amount of recognition that its football counterparts have garnered. The group, which currently includes four-star power forward Nick Ward and five-star guard Josh Langford, is shaping up to be one of the best in the nation.

Langford is considered one of the top-15 players in the country by basically every major recruiting service while Ward has been a bit underrated, sitting around the No. 60-mark, nationally.

On July 3, however, Rivals came out with an updated ranking of the top 150 players for the class of 2016 and Ward received some much-deserved recognition among the nation’s best.
