DSC's MSU Football Thread

[tommyz]

MSU got Hoover, Smith, and Burrell despite Michigan offers. What MD is doing with this, IMO, is trying to change the image of MSU in these areas so that he can get the Perry's in the future. Right now, we can pull in a few OOS people, but few game breakers. Attracting OOS game breakers is further away than instate and Ohio ones. So, he is trying to attract near by game breakers which will give MSU the national pub to recruit nationally.

I don't like how we pretty much turned down Gray(4 star QB from Indiana), Darks(3 star from Texas), and Carter(3 star from Virginia). In a tie, sure pick the in state kid. In a kid vs. no one situation, this is idiotic.

Burrell Never got a Michigan offer..Just pointing out

He got one well after he committed to MSU. So, not exactly the same, but yeah he did have one.

According to the interview he did, he said he never got an offer and was disappointed because he worked hard to get it....This was the day before signing day...

[detroitsportscity]

My mistake then. I could have sworn that he did in the near end LC/early RR time period.

2009 safety shamari benton should get and offer at junior day, and is rumored to possibly commit. He's good friends with Chris Norman.

That's good. We need to get off to a good start this year. Edwin Baker is probably going out of state, but he has passed Caper and anyone else in my want list. His offers from Texas and UGA this early are impressive as hell.

If you haven't heard MSU got commit #2 yesterday from WR Donald Spencer. He committed while attending junior day.

[detroitsportscity]

Had an offer from Indy in January.

Pretty solid pickup, but I let my Rivals expire, so I don't get the full breakdown.

Now seeing some state top 10 lists with him in there. Some are hyping him as a 4 star to be, I'll guess high 3 star based upon Burrell and Hoover being fairly comparable in the hype last year.

Very good projection, i see him as a Burrell caliber player at WR. I heard on spartanmag Norman had claimed that some Michigan coaches came to visit him at DR hs. As soon as he entered the door he told them that he was going to MSU and walked out. That kid is sold on State, he won't flop.
