Things can move fast in recruiting, never more so than on National Signing Day.
For Mel Tucker and Michigan State, that meant a wide swing in emotion on Wednesday, as the Spartans woke up to the news that one of their top commitments had spurned them for their rival, only to a few hours later land a coveted prospect that many believed was headed elsewhere.
“I'm usually never really surprised in recruiting,” Tucker said by midday.
At that point, gone was two-way lineman Rayshaun Benny of Oak Park, who as recently as Monday told The News he was “excited” to sign with Michigan State.
