If Michigan State has a bounce-back season in 2023, it won&#8217;t be tough to land guys like Mothudi.<\/p>\n<p>Mothudi is one of the best recruits from the West Coast, hailing from Valley Village, Calif., listed as the No. 150 overall recruit and 12th-best linebackers, according to 247Sports. He currently owns just over a dozen offers and the early favorites to land him are Oregon, Oregon State, Utah, and Washington. He has official visits planned to all of those programs. As you can see, a lot of Pac-12 teams are vying for his services.<\/p>\n<p>If Michigan State can get an official from Mothudi, that would be pretty big as it seems like he has been monitoring the Spartans for a long time. It&#8217;s not often that you hear recruits speak so highly of an offer and admit that it&#8217;s been one he&#8217;s been waiting for.<\/p>\n<p>Recruiting would see an uptick again if Tucker proves that 2022 was an anomaly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These quotes are intriguing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3359,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[174],"tags":[371,191,189],"class_list":["post-3357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fb-recruiting","tag-kamar-mothudi","tag-michigan-state-football","tag-michigan-state-spartans"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
