Booker has been a top priority for the Spartans in the 2023 recruiting cycle with head coach Tom Izzo making numerous appearances at his games this offseason. All of that attention from the Spartans has helped Michigan State move into a great spot to land this big-time prospect, with the Spartans listed as “warm” in 247Sports’ interest tracker for Booker.
Michigan State will continue to put Booker as a top priority and will need to fight off the likes of Kansas, Michigan, Ohio State, Indiana, Louisville and Purdue for his commitment. We will know soon enough if Michigan State can land this now top-five prospect but for now, this is big news and should excite Spartans fans.
