Top 10 recruit of the class of 2025, Dwayne Aristode, talks about basketball at Michigan State

Top 10 recruit of the class of 2025, Dwayne Aristode, talks about basketball at Michigan State

Dwayne Aristode of Brewster Academy in New Hampshire is currently one of the top ten players of the 2025 class, according to On3.

Aristode is an explosive athlete. He will attack a close out in straight lines and finish in the scrum over the basket. He needs to work on his post-impact game and improve his handling to get to spots on the floor. This includes improving his mid and pull-up game, which will only help him become more dangerous.

With his physical attributes, explosive athleticism and jump shot ability, Aristode is a solid 3-and-D wing. He is still young and new to the U.S., so he still has some things to work on. But he has good potential and Aristode has impressed in both international FIBA ​​play and the EYBL Scholastic Circuit.

During the 2024 Nike EYBL Peach Jam games last week, Aristode recently spoke with On3’s Jamie Shaw about his game and his recruitment of Michigan State.

“My IQ has increased this season,” Aristode said. “I feel like I’ve adapted to the American game, which is different from the European one. My mental strength has grown, I feel like everyone has that here.”

Aristode spoke to Michigan State.

“They’re doing well,” he said. “They like my feel for the game, they tell me I play the game the right way and that I’m a mature player. They tell me there are a lot of things I can work on, but they like my size and that I can do a lot of things with my size and my feel for the game.”

Aristode has not yet arranged any official visits, but plans to start planning some such visits.

Getting Aristode to take an official visit to Michigan State would be a huge accomplishment for Izzo and his team. Trying to compete with Duke and UCLA is a tough task for anyone. However, Aristode’s game would be great for the Spartans as he can space the field and defend all five positions.
