Versatile Gahanna (Ohio) Lincoln High School basketball player Javon Bess informed his school Monday that he has committed to Michigan State, giving the Spartans their second commitment of the 2014 class.

"We got a text from Javon saying, 'I committed to Michigan State," Lincoln athletic director Justin Sanford said.

The 6-foot-5, 185-pound Bess reportedly had also considered Dayton and Kansas State and was being recruited by Michigan among other schools. He is ranked by ESPN as the No. 6 recruit in the state of Ohio.

Bess, who is listed as a small forward in high school, has indicated he would play shooting guard in college.

"He is a long 6-foot-5; he can play multiple positions on both ends of the floor," Lincoln coach Tony Staib told SpartanMag.com last week.

Michigan State received its first commitment of the 2014 class last month when Sunrise Christian Academy point guard Lourawls Nairn Jr. told coach Tom Izzo he'd be coming to East Lansing.

The Spartans are expected to sign a large class given that they expect multiple players to depart for the NBA after the season.
