Tom Izzo glowed over continuing to produce home-grown talent.

Jenkins picked MSU over finalists Ohio State, Georgetown, Xavier and North Carolina State. The 6-foot-10, 220-pounder from Abington, Pennsylvania, joins five-star point guard Antonio Pemberton in Izzo’s next recruiting haul.

With a 7-4 wingspan, Jenkins is rated the No. 60 overall recruit and No. 8 center nationally, according to 247Sports.com’s composite rankings. The product of Warminster Archbishop Wood in suburban Philadelphia also was selected to participate in the USA Basketball Men’s Junior National Team minicamp, which runs Oct. 9-11 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
