Anytime a new coach takes over a program, that first recruiting class tends to be fairly underwhelming.
Add in the fact that Michigan State’s Mel Tucker got a later start than most – he was hired on Feb. 12 to replace Mark Dantonio, who retired after 13 seasons leading the Spartans – and it would be fair to say he and his staff would be playing catch-up in building their 2021 class.
Well, it’s early May and Tucker has already landed 10 commitments, all coming in a three-week stretch to close out the month of April.
