Bryson Tucker is my dream addition to the 2024 class for Michigan State and it’s because he does just about everything really well.

The nation’s No. 9 overall prospect and fourth-best small forward in the 2024 class seems to really like what he sees from Tom Izzo and Michigan State and he said earlier this year that the only trip he is for sure going to plan this year will be to East Lansing. That feels like a really good sign from the five-star prospect who spent time at IMG Academy this season.

Tucker has good handles for a 6-foot-6 small forward and he reminds me a little of Max Christie who had a similar build and had a soft touch like the 2024 five-star does.

Izzo will be hard at work to ensure Tucker becomes part of his 2024 class to go along with four-star shooting guard Kur Teng and (potentially) four-star big man Jesse McCulloch. He would be the perfect complementary piece to that group. Add in Flory Bidunga and you have four players in a future starting five.

Tucker is a good enough prospect where you could build a team around him.

I could see him benefitting big time from Jeremy Fears as his point guard.
