Michigan State makes big impression on 5-star 2017 SG Gary Trent Jr.

Michigan State‘s 2016 basketball recruiting class is far from set in stone and coach Tom Izzo is still looking to add two or three more guys on top of four-star power forward Nick Ward.

More From Recruiting

However, the veteran head coach is already looking at 2017 options as the Spartans are making a good impression on five-star shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. In a recent report, Trent Jr. talked about making USA Basketball’s U-16 team this summer as well as colleges who have been recruiting him the hardest.

Izzo spoke after a Final Four loss in the 2015 NCAA Tournament, vowing to change his recruiting style to better fit the system that college basketball has become.
