In a seismic shift on the college basketball recruiting landscape, Michigan State University has landed one of the most electrifying and complete guards in the 2025 class.

On a humid Thursday afternoon, that silence was broken. Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans extended an official scholarship offer to Medlock, signaling a dramatic shift in his recruiting story and placing one of the…
