Michigan State basketball signs its three commitments; could Emoni Bates join 2021 class?

Tom Izzo might be off work for the time being, but that isn’t slowing down Michigan Statebasketball future.

The Spartans signed three players for their 2021 recruiting class Wednesday — five-star shooting guard Max Christie, four-star point guard Jaden Akins and four-star combo guard Pierre Brooks II all sent their letters of intent on the first day of college basketball’s early signing period.

MSU has the nation's No. 6 class, only trailing Michigan's six commitments among Big Ten schools according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

“I think we've built a strong class in the ‘21 class with me, Pierre and Max so far,” Akins told the Free Press on Wednesday morning.
