The Michigan State Spartans have landed a commitment from Josh Langford, a 6’6 wing out of Alabama, according to Evan Daniels of Scout. Langford is considered a five-star recruit in the class of 2016. He’s rated No. 13 in his class by ESPN and No. 17 by Rivals.

Ricky O'Donnell has covered basketball at all levels for more than a decade at SB Nation. He’s currently the Associate Director of Programming.
Langford is considered a scoring wing, as a player who excels driving to the hoop and pushing the ball in transition. He has a developing jump shot that is becoming more reliable out to three-point range.
This is Michigan State’s second commitment for the 2016 class. Coach Tom Izzo also has a commitment from big man Nick Ward, a four-star recruit from Ohio ranked No. 42 in his class by ESPN.
Getting a commitment from Langford has to be considered a major recruiting win for Izzo after losing 2015 star Caleb Swanigan to Purdue last month. Langford and Ward will arrive behind a three-man class in 2015, which is led by McDonald’s All-American power forward Deyonta Davis.
