GREAT NEWS: Grace Vanslooten, Michigan State University WBB Lands Commitment from Five-Star Prospect No.1 Player in America Chooses Spartans Over Kentucky, Alabama and Louisville…
In a stunning and program-defining move, Grace VanSlooten, the No. 1 ranked women’s basketball player in America, has announced her commitment to Michigan State University. The five-star forward chose the Spartans over powerhouse programs Kentucky, Alabama, and Louisville, signaling a major shift in the national recruiting landscape and delivering a huge win for head coach Robyn Fralick.
VanSlooten, a dominant and versatile player, has earned national acclaim for her powerful inside game, smooth mid-range jumper, and relentless rebounding. Her combination of size, strength, and agility makes her one of the most complete frontcourt prospects in recent memory. Her decision to join the Spartans is a testament to the rising energy around Michigan State women’s basketball and the direction Coach Fralick is taking the program.
“From the first time I visited East Lansing, I knew Michigan State was different,” said VanSlooten. “Coach Fralick has built a culture of grit, unity, and belief. I want to be part of that and help bring something big to Spartan Nation. I believe in this program, and I’m ready to make history here.”
Michigan State has been on the rise since Fralick’s arrival, and the addition of VanSlooten accelerates that trajectory. With a mix of young talent and veteran leadership already in place, VanSlooten’s presence will add a dominant post threat and elevate the team’s ability to compete not just in the Big Ten, but nationally. She is expected to make an immediate impact and serve as the foundation for a new era of Spartan basketball.
Her decision to turn down offers from SEC powerhouses like Kentucky and Alabama underscores the momentum building in East Lansing. VanSlooten’s commitment could open the floodgates for other elite recruits to follow, making Michigan State a top destination for high-level players looking for opportunity, exposure, and championship potential.
