Jason Richardson shares how his son, Spartans star Jase Richardson spurned Alabama for MSU
Jason Richardson shares how his son, Spartans star Jase Richardson spurned Alabama for MSU A longstanding Michigan State basketball tradition was apparently a major factor in why Jase Richardson ended up as a Spartan instead of at Alabama. Jase Richardson and his dad Jason Richardson -- also a former Michigan State basketball star -- were on Podcast P with Paul George earlier this week, and Jason shared a fun story of how Jase ended up at Michigan State like his father. According to Jason, it appeared Alabama was the leader to land Jase's commitment but an upcoming visit to Michigan State was planned during the Spartans' annual "Grind Week" event -- which brings together former Michigan State players, current players and recruits for a weekend of festivities. Jason said during the interview that he told the Alabama coaching staff that if they let Jase visit Michigan State during "Grind Week" that he'd end up a Spartan. Alabama apparently tried to get Jase to shift his visit schedule knowing the magnitude of what Jason said, but it was too late. Jase went on his visit to Michigan State during "Grind Week" and the rest is now history. Check out the clip from podcast interview with both Jase and Jason below: Seeing this kind of connection between the Michigan State basketball players (former, current and potential future) is a really cool thing. "Grind Week" has always been a fun and impactful event for the program and this is just another use case where that occurred. Jase is projected to be a first round pick in the NBA Draft later this month. Jase is a fringe lottery pick after starring during his freshman season at Michigan State so it is safe to say he made the right choice in coming to Michigan State.

Projected first-round pick Jase Richardson reveals qualities that he'll bring to the NBA
Projected first-round pick Jase Richardson reveals qualities that he'll bring to the NBA Jase Richardson is considered a potential lottery pick, and the former Michigan State standout believes he possesses many qualities teams are looking for in the 2025 NBA draft. Richardson was named to the All-Big Ten third team, averaging 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists on 41.2% shooting from 3-point range as a freshman. He ranked ninth in the country in box plus-minus (plus-11.6) and 14th in offensive rating (132). The 19-year-old is a talented guard who takes care of the ball, shoots well and can defend. He also has other traits that he believes will ensure that he is a first-round pick. "I think one of the biggest things is leadership," Richardson said on "Podcast P with Paul George" recently. "I feel like, for me, being a young guy, I always try to be as vocal as possible, so it doesn't matter who is on my team, I'm always trying to be the loudest dude in there and be vocal, trying to lead. I feel like I'm a high-IQ player and make my teammates and myself better." Richardson began the season in the second unit before moving into the starting lineup in early February. He elevated his play, averaging 16.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists on 42% shooting from beyond the arc over his last 15 games. The son of 14-year veteran Jason Richardson dazzled in the open court and has a great touch in the paint, enabling him to get to his floater or convert difficult finishes at the rim. He has several suitors in the middle of the first round and should be a good fit wherever he lands. Richardson is beginning to hit the workout circuit and wants to show teams that he can play either guard position at a high level. He is looking forward to that opportunity. "For me, at my size, a lot of people have been questioning what position I really play because at Michigan State, I was really the 2-guard," Richardson said. "(I'm) just trying to come into these workouts and prove that I play the point and can be a point guard in the league, be an IQ player and make plays for teammates and make plays for myself."
