Tom Izzo continues to look to the future of Michigan State basketball, even as the current season got underway this week.
The Spartans picked up a commitment from four-star 2026 recruit Jasiah Jervis on Wednesday, Nov. 5. The 6-foot-5 Bronx native and product of Archbishop Stepinac High in White Plains, New York, is rated No. 35 overall and the the second-best shooting guard in his class according to 247Sports.com’s composite rankings.

“I chose Michigan State because it felt like a family as soon as I got on campus,” Jervis told On3.com. “Coach Izzo was super passionate and involved throughout my whole recruiting process.”
Jervis joins 5-11 point guard Carlos Medlock Jr. and 6-7 power forward Julius Avent in the Spartans’ four-star 2026 class. And Izzo might not be done, with MSU in the mix to land Ethan Taylor from Missouri, a five-star prosect who is a 7-foot center rated as the No. 23 player in the nation.
