While Mark Dantonio has made Michigan State a perennial contender in the Big Ten in his 11 seasons leading the Spartans, he’s hardly done so with the luxury of picking from the best of the best when it comes to recruiting.
That indulgence is available to only a few teams — namely Alabama and Ohio State. However, Dantonio and his staff have become as adept as any at finding the player overlooked by most, a “diamond in the rough” that comes with few stars but fits the Spartans’ system.
