MSU hoops helped its chances at No. 1 recruit

Tom Izzo already has verbal commitments from four players who will make his 2016 class the highest-regarded of his tenure if they sign as expected on Nov. 11.

And then the wait is on, for the player who could turn this class into one that’s measured against the best anywhere. Josh Jackson, the No. 1 recruit in the nation per rivals.com and 247sports.com, told Rivals over the weekend that Michigan State “definitely” helped its case by landing a verbal Saturday from consensus top-15 recruit Miles Bridges of Flint.

Before that, it was point guard Cassius Winston of U-D Jesuit.
