Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith and his coaching staff have had a strategic plan of attack for their recruiting process.
So far on the recruiting trail, Smith and his coaching staff have used their plan of offering primarily three-star athletes and many local athletes with fewer stars. No matter the outcome of Coach Smith’s first season at the helm, he and his coaching staff clearly have a plan, and they are sticking to it, too. Smith has been extremely busy over the last few months.
More than anything else, the one thing Smith and his coaching staff are planning on is their ability to develop the players. Smith’s repeated offers to athletes with three stars or less speak volumes about how much confidence he has in himself and his coaching staff’s ability to properly develop the incoming players.
