Michigan State basketball’s 2023 class: We’re “gonna win this title”

Michigan State basketball’s 2023 class has one shared goal in mind: winning a national title. Coen Carr and the rest of the class aren’t lacking confidence.

Tom Izzo has done nothing but win over the past few weeks. Michigan State basketball’s 2023 recruiting class has gone from one pledge to four over the path month.

Coen Carr, a four-star originally from Georgia, was the latest to commit to Michigan State on Tuesday evening, joining five-star big man Xavier Booker, four-star point guard Jeremy Fears, and four-star wing Gehrig Normand.

But those four have been talking and have been close for a couple of weeks now and Fears has been putting in the work to recruit the rest of the class with him.

They’ve been in a group chat even before Carr committed and they all talked about the future together and even winning a national title together.

Carr wrote his own blog on Sports Illustrated about his decision to commit to Michigan State and he talked about the four Spartan pledges’ goal of winning a national title. They are not lacking in confidence.

"When I told them I committed, the first thing we talked about was how we were gonna win this national title. We’re all on the same page, and we all know what we’re bringing to the table. We’re all buying into our roles and we’re gonna put everything into getting it done."

Confidence is the first step and this is something that will win every Michigan State fan over. Hearing that all four recruits are buying in to the process of knowing their specific roles and they talked about how they “were gonna win this national title” is refreshing.

Izzo probably isn’t too fond of this talk before they even start their senior years in high school, but he has to appreciate the common goal. That’s why he recruited these four guys.

If Carr, Fears, Normand, and Booker can deliver a national title, they will go down as arguably Izzo’s best class ever.
