Fresh off their latest Final Four appearance, the Michigan State Spartans are wasting no time reloading for next season.

Caleb Swanigan -- a five-star forward from Fort Wayne, Indiana -- announced on Twitter Friday that he will accept an offer from Tom Izzo and play in East Lansing in the fall.

Swanigan was a McDonald's All-American and ranked No. 8 on the 2015 ESPN 100. He also received offers from Kentucky, Duke and Arizona, among others.

The 6-foot-8, 275 pound forward won a state championship at Homestead High School in Fort Wayne in 2015. While winning this year's Mr. Basketball Award in Indiana, Swanigan averaged over 22 points and 14 rebounds per game.
