Well, there have been a couple of guys who made the decision to play college ball elsewhere over the past few days in four-star receiver Oliver Martin, three-star receiver Raheem Blackshear and, most recently, three-star running back Johnathan Lovett.

The class is currently at 21 commitments after the Spartans flipped three-star Purdue wide receiver C.J. Hayes on Tuesday.

The crown jewels of the class are Kevin Jarvis, Matt Dotson, Hunter Rison and Antjuan Simmons. All four of those guys are four-star recruits and each could have an early impact for the Spartans. Jarvis fills a position of need on the O-line, Dotson could replace Josiah Price, Rison could crack the rotation as an early enrollee and Simmons is the only true linebacker commit.

The class is expected to grow on Wednesday, but as we learned from last year’s National Signing Day, anything can happen. Keep it posted here for new commitments, de-commitments and even flips.
