The Michigan State Spartans are closing in on multiple five-star talents. What does Coach Tom Izzo's five-star look like?
Depending on where you get your recruiting fix, the number of Michigan State men's basketball coach Tom Izzo's five-star recruits will fluctuate. I prefer 247Sports, as do a good majority of sports writers. The number of five-star basketball players that Izzo landed is eight.
Of his eight five-stars, four were guards, three were forwards, and one was a center. He didn't discriminate where they played on the court. All but one were from the Midwest -- Shannon Brown, Jaren Jackson, Xavier Booker, Miles Bridges, Max Christie, Delvon Roe and Branden Dawson.Each player was vastly different. Brown, theplayer Izzo ever got to East Lansing, was an explosive athlete who could score at all three levels. He might have been held back a bit by Izzo's offensive system.
That is the answer: defense. Izzo's system is built on rigid defense. And such, he recruits players that can defend well. No matter the amount of stars. Why not get the Big 12 kid who has been projected a future NBA No. 1 pick by NBA Draft Room for the past two years?Look at the 2019 Elite Eight victory over the five-star loaded Duke Blue Devils -- Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett, and Cam Reddish. All prototypical five-star one-and-dones. But they struggled mightily in their own end.
