MSU commit, 4-star PF Cam Ward stars in Iverson Classic all-star game
MSU commit, 4-star PF Cam Ward stars in Iverson Classic all-star game Future Spartans power forward Cam Ward starred for in the Iverson Classic high school all-star game this past week
A future Spartan had a mighty impressive performance in a prominent high school all-star game this past weekend.
Four-star power forward and Michigan State signed prospect Cam Ward starred in the Iverson Classic this past weekend. Ward reportedly scored 23 points points on 11-14 shooting from the field, nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in the all-star game.
Ward was one of the notable players called out in SI.com's post-game story from the event.
Ward is a four-star prospect with a rating of 97.69 in 247Sports' composite score. He ranks as the No. 12 power forward and No. 54 overall prospect in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2025 class.
With Ward starring in the Iverson Classic, it is appearing more and more clear that he'll play a role on the Spartans right away as a true freshman next year. I don't necessarily expect him to start right away (or maybe ever) next season, but he certainly has proven during his recruiting cycle that he has the ability to contribute in some degree next year.

UNC set to be on road for ACC/SEC Challenge UNC is heading on the road to face off against Kentucky. Last season, the North Carolina Tar Heels played one of the toughest schedules in all of college basketball in their non-conference slate. And now, for the 2025-26 season, it looks like they will have a few blue blood programs on their slate. The Tar Heels are already scheduled to host Kansas in the final game of a home-and-home series but now we know they will also be in Lexington, Kentucky. Per Jon Rothstein, the Tar Heels will travel to face off against the Kentucky Wildcats as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge in 2025. This is the second-straight year the Tar Heels will be facing off against a preseason top 25 team in the challenge after they hosted Alabama in the Dean Dome a year ago. Kentucky is fresh off an impressive season under the first-year head coach Mark Pope. They should be one of the favorites in the SEC again this year. Here are the reported matchups for the event: There are some very intriguing matchups once again this year with Duke hosting the defending national champion Florida Gators. NC State will also head to Auburn to face off against Bruce Pearl and the Tigers. UNC's non-conference schedule is tough once again.
