This move left fans questioning if this the finished product at the position. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer to the question is &#8216;no&#8217; because former Colorado wide receiver Montana Lemonious-Craig is currently on an official visit, according to Justin Thind of 247Sports. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEWS: Former <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Colorado?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Colorado<\/a> WR Montana Lemonious-Craig is currently on a MSU official visit. <\/p>\n<p>The junior has 497 yards &amp; 5 TDs on 34 rec in 12 starts (23 GP).

During those 25 games, he has had 34 catches for 497 yards and five touchdowns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those of you that might look at those stats and think Montana is just leaving because Deion Sanders didn\u2019t want him, that&#8217;s not the case especially because of his performance during the spring game. For those of you that remember seeing a Colorado receiver go off at their spring game, that was Lemonious-Craig. He had 154 yards and a touchdown during Colorado\u2019s spring game. He was easily the MVP of the scrimmage and instantly entered the portal after that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even the Colorado quarterbacks were upset by Montana transferring. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schools like Penn State and Auburn are looking at Lemonious-Craig, according to Thind. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Montana is not only a fast receiver but he can go up and get the ball. Some of the best plays he had at Colorado were against the top talent in the Pac-12 like USC. He would be a great addition to the wide receiver room if he was to commit to Michigan State. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While no one might replace the exact contribution that Coleman made, there are still some good wide receivers in the portal and Lemonious-Craig is one of them. Don\u2019t be surprised if Michigan State still adds at least one more wideout to the room before fall camp starts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mel Tucker is still pushing for a receiver transfer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":4363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[59,191,189,418],"class_list":["post-4359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-featured","tag-michigan-state-football","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-montana-lemonious-craig"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4359","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\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
