Carr is the best athlete to enter MSU in a while. He plays at a high school that plays elite competition, but I'm concerned that every video of him is some insane breakaway dunk. That's all well and good, but (a) you aren't going to get those plays in the Big Ten; and (b) if you do, putting on a show is worth the same number of points as a layup.
This MSU class, ranked #3, is curious. Xavier Booker is the highest rated player. At one point he was #1. That never made sense. But even at #10ish, I think he's overrated. A decade ago? Sure. But he's kind of a tweener 4, without range. Not sure how he fits now. Then you have Carr, who, as said above, I have my concerns about. I think BY FAR, the best player in this class is Jeremy Fears. He is a tailor made Izzo PG, with a super high pedigree. He was one of the last kids picked to the McD AA game, but he's ranked generally in the 30s or 40s. I think he is an instant impact player, who can play behind Hoggard next year, then star the following year, then he's probably gone. I was actually a little surprised to see Tre Holloway return, because it feels like he is the clear #3 PG again next year. Fears is the #2 next year, and its his team in 2025. Then he's likely gone. That's a bold pick to call a kid in the 40s a 2 year player, but I think he's (a) underrated and (b) a perfect fit in this system, and will thrive. Even though he's the 3rd highest rated kid in this class, I think he'll be the best MSU player.
