Michigan Basketball Makes Cut For 5-Star Son of Ex-Michigan State Hoops Star<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Michigan Wolverines’ basketball program added several recruits seemingly out of nowhere this offseason including on Tuesday when 7-foot-3, 230-pound Danish center Marcus M\u00f6ller announced his intention to join coach Dusty May’s class of 2026.<\/p>\n

May’s program previously secured a pledge from Yaxel Lendeborg, the nation’s top portal player, Morez Johnson Jr. of Illinois and more players.<\/p>\n

The Wolverines were in the college hoops news cycle again on Tuesday as the five-star son of a well known former Michigan State basketball star announced his list of top 10 schools.<\/p>\n

“5 (star emoji) Jaxon Richardson has included Michigan in his top 10 schools – but not Michigan State,” the page College Basketball Report said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“His brother (Jase) Richardson was just drafted in the first round, and his father was a lottery pick – both out of MSU,” the page added.<\/p>\n

“Come make yourself a legend in Ann Arbor,” one fan said with a sloped ‘M’ emoji.<\/p>\n

“What do you expect. There’s no loyalty in the current landscape of college sports. It’s all about the $$$,” a second said.<\/p>\n

“MSU,” a third added.<\/p>\n

“This was news like 2 years ago lol,” a fourth added.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t have that poverty program in my top 10 either,” a fifth said.<\/p>\n

“This is a surprise to nobody lol,” a Spartans fan page added.<\/p>\n

A 6-foot-6, 200 pound small forward from Columbus High School in Miami, Florida, Richardson has Alabama, Michigan, Cincinnati and USC among his top 10.<\/p>\n

He is the son of 14-year NBA veteran Jason Richardson, who played at Michigan State during his college years.<\/p>\n

“They reach out to me almost every day. So that really means a lot to me,” Richardson said<\/a> according to ZAGSBLOG.<\/p>\n

“Just when I went up there, getting to see the style of play, the ball movement they have there is ridiculous.<\/p>\n

“So that’s definitely something I took away from there.”<\/p>\n
