4. Will there be even more transfers?

Michigan State has already lost a handful of players to transfer this offseason such as Messiah deWeaver, Madre London, Lashawn Paulino-Bell, Hunter Rison, Trishton Jackson and Jalen Watts-Jackson. Will there be more?

There were some players left off the spring roster and Mark Dantonio didn’t address the reasons for that. However, he did say that there could be more attrition, but he expects the team he has post-spring to be set heading into the 2018 season.

The Spartans have plenty of depth at certain positions which likely led to the departures of deWeaver, Rison and Jackson. This team has three capable quarterbacks as well as a wealth of top-tier receivers. Could this lead to more departures at a position like receiver?

We may find out about transfers here in the couple weeks as summer approaches, but at this point, Dantonio may be right about the team being set.
