Tom Izzo putting full-court press on 2023 Indiana center prospect

Tom Izzo saw that not having a Big Ten quality center can pose major problems for his team and his program. The Spartans have struggled to recruit the center position in recent years as well, not getting a center commitment in the 2021 recruiting class, and missing on several prospects in the 2022 class. In 2022, MSU landed Jaxon Kohler, who is more of a stretch four, than a center in my opinion, but may be able to play center depending on his body development.

Izzo is determined to not let 2023 be the same for his Spartans on the recruiting trail, as he as identified Xavier Booker of Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, as a must-have target in 2023.

Izzo was personally in attendance for the Indiana high school state finals to watch Booker play and to hopefully further his relationship with the center.
