In fact, he sat down to talk during his McDonald’s All-American game interviews and spoke about the process and which teams are in the running still.

McCoy sat down with Rivals to talk about his recruitment and the final schools to make his list. He gave reasons why each one would be a good fit and it seemed like Oregon and Michigan State stood out to him. He also stated he will be making a decision within a couple of weeks.

The Ducks being in the Final Four seems to help their chances with the five-star center from San Diego, but the fact that Michigan State is led by a Hall of Fame coach is also a huge boost for MSU. He also stated that playing for Izzo would “be an honor.”

While it’s easy to look at the success of this year’s teams and make a decision based off that, McCoy may be going one step further to preview next year’s squads. He would realize Michigan State is going to be near the top of college basketball, especially if Miles Bridges returns.
