Kur Teng, a four-star shooting guard in the class of 2024, has committed to Michigan State, he told On3.

The 6-foot-4 junior out of Haverhill (Mass.) Bradford Christian ultimately chose the Spartans over Rutgers and Providence. He also received offers from Auburn, Cincinnati, Clemson, Iowa, Miami, and others.

Teng ranks as the No. 36 overall prospect in the 2024 On3 Industry Rankings — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies (ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, On3).

Teng on his commitment to Michigan State

“I feel like it was the best decision for me,” Teng said to On3. “They can help me develop and get better everyday and potentially help me reach my goal. My entire family loved it as well and I’ve also grown strong relationships with the coaching staff.”

What type of player is Michigan State getting in Kur Teng, in his own words?

“I would say I’m a great three level scorer, a pretty good rebounder for my size, and a solid defender,” he says.

Teng has a message for Spartans fans.

“LET’S WORK!”

Scouting Report

“Kur Teng has a basketball frame, with broad shoulders and long arms. He has a smooth feel on the floor, with a great pace. A smooth catch and shoot player with consistent picture-esque form. While Teng is a slightly above-average athlete, he can attack closeouts and get to the basket or pull-up for a jump shot. Comes from basketball genes as he has multiple siblings currently playing college basketball. Coaches and those around him rave about the work ethic and approach.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
