Late last month, the Michigan State Spartans put out a key offer in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Tom Izzo and his staff decided to offer 2023 prospect Darrin Ames.

Ames comes out of Chicago, Illinois and is largely unrated by the national scouting services. However, he is attracting some serious midwestern attention and is listed at 6-foot-0 and 160 pounds by Verbal Commits. Along with Michigan State, he also has offers from Appalachian State, Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, and Western Illinois among others.
Michigan State currently has no commitments in the program’s 2023 recruiting class, but the Spartans have recruited well in recent years and things are still early in the cycle. Fans will be hoping Ames can be the first addition in the 2023 cycle. However, we will have to wait and see as his recruitment is still very much in the air. Izzo and his staff will have to put in some work.
