Things can change quickly in the recruiting world, and it appears Michigan State football is on the wrong side of that kind of whirlwind for a big-time prospect in their own backyard.

Within just a few days, Michigan State football has lost the projected edge for four-star running back Kory Amachree of Haslett, Mich., who is now expected to commit to Kansas. The recruiting experts at 247Sports’ entered a crystal ball prediction for Amachree to stay close to home and commit to Michigan State late last week, but on Tuesday afternoon that prediction flipped to the Jayhawks.
