MSU hoops picks up its first recruit

Four-star point guard Lourawls Nairn Jr. to be a Spartan

September 26, 2013

The Spartans have their next young point guard.

Making his announcement Thursday morning at Christian Sunrise Academy in Wichita, Kan., 2014 recruit Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn Jr. said he will be attending MSU next fall.

The four-star point guard, ranked the 61st best player in the nation by Rivals, is the first commitment for head coach Tom Izzo’s 2014 class. Nairn is heralded as one of the quickest and speediest guards in the nation, and could possibly crack the starting lineup his freshman year. The 5-foot-11 guard would battle junior Travis Trice for minutes throughout the year, or team together to give the backcourt a quick presence.

With point guard recruits Tyler Ulis committing to Kentucky and Tyus Jones likely spurning MSU, Nairn was most sought-after MSU target to date.

The Bahamas native turned down Oklahoma, Indiana and Minnesota to become a Spartan.
