EAST LANSING – Everything seems to be magnified in the recruiting world, especially when it comes to a high-profile recruit, and even moreso when a decision is near.
All those things are true in the case of Josh Jackson, the No. 1-ranked recruit in the class of 2016 by some analysts. The Detroiter and senior at Prolific Prep in Napa, Calif., is down to Michigan State, Kansas and Arizona, with a decision possible around the McDonald’s All-America game next week in Chicago.
And various recruiting services have been suggesting since Thursday that MSU may not be in a position of strength with Jackson.
