Tom Izzo gives high praise to Michigan State basketball freshman Jase Richardson

Michigan State basketball has a huge legacy player joining the program this fall in former 4-star combo guard Jase Richardson. While Tom Izzo has been careful not to spend too much time comparing Jase to his father, MSU legend Jason Richardson, he did use that comparison to give Jase a huge compliment on Thursday.

Here is what he said:

‘He might even be ahead of where his dad was, which was pretty exciting considering how he ended up.’

He did note that Jase needs to get stronger and they are still figuring out his best position.
