I think he could recruit well to MSU, even with the majority of his ties to Ohio high schools. But I also didn't think he was leaving Cincinnati because, at this point, he has the Bearcats coming off 11-2 and 11-3 seasons, respectively, and is really building momentum in recruiting. They're a perennial G5 power right now. Mel Tucker is basically starting several years behind that. It's incredible how Dantonio went from a CFP team in 2015 with five 10-win seasons in a six-year span to one over his last four with a 3-9 season and a pair of 7-6's.
JoJo is a heck of an athlete. It'll be interesting to see how he fares on the defensive side of the ball, especially if he's in the same room as Jon Tenuta.
