East Lansing — When a team has a bunch of commitments by late spring, it’s often categorized as a great start to recruiting.
If a team happens to have only a few players pledged, it is sometimes portrayed as the coaching staff being selective in its offers. That would be the optimistic view. The cynic might say that recruiting isn’t going well.
Where Michigan State falls is open to interpretation, but as May has begun and the coaching staff is on the road, the Spartans have just three commitments for the 2020 class.
It’s varied for coach Mark Dantonio in his time at Michigan State.
