The Blue Board

Yea, I opened up the LNC thread early this morning. It looks like an anything goes thread.

Fair enough, but there is a problem in my eye's when a mod states that those complaining are pansies and another mod states that he is going to ignore the rules laid out for this site.

I think we just stick to the game plan: ID the racist/homophobic stuff and PM the mods.

In MSU news, Draymond Green signed a 3 year deal with the Warriors. I don't quite know how his skills will translate in the NBA, but it's pretty nice to see him make the league.

LNC has different rules. Don't PM me about that thread. If you don't like cussing and all that stay away from the LNC thread.

could be that if Bryant flips to Auburn Green is going to go to Michigan
I'm sure that one of the schools is us after the warning signs this weekend don't know who the 2nd team is

Lost, 3-7. Started off with a Jackson solo shot and a stand-up double from Berry. Heart of the order whiffed. Next inning, get bases loaded, but only 1 run scores. Bad baseball from the Tigers.

Hi everyone. Let's have sex together!!!

I heard everyone in this thread likes looking at each other naked. Can you guys confirm this?

Noooooooooo

I think if we just get back to the MSU - UM discourse we'll be fine.

On that note . . .

State leads for IL DE Demetrious Cooper. He had a strong Sound Mind/Strong Body camp and word is he'll be visiting with his mother in August. If she likes everything, he'll commit to MSU.

In the grand scheme, Cooper is part of Core 6 athletics, a Chicago-area athletic training group. Other Core 6 guys include LTT and Ethan Pocic from the '13 class, and Nyles Morgan (LB), Clifton Garrett (LB) and Brian Allen (OG/C) from '14. Core6 has been tweeting that they really like MSU (the organization), Garrett has MSU and tOSU on top of his list right now and is scheduled to attend 3-4 MSU home games this year and Brian Allen is the brother of MSU RS FR OG/C Jack Allen.

Nothing's set in stone, but MSU is looking to reverse the past 3-4 year trend of doing little to nothing in IL as far as recruiting goes.

Hmm....there's a few RS FR in the two-deeps who have gotten good reviews but haven't had any playing time.

DE Joel Heath - He's Will Gholston's backup and similarly imposing at about 6'6 265lbs. Supposedly had a great spring. Good athleticism out of high school but didn't have proper coaching so his technique was raw.

DE Shilique Calhoun - Marcus Rush's backup on the other end. Came in at like 6'4 220 and is up to around 240lb. Drew phenomenal reviews during fall camp and almost had his redshirt pulled when Will was suspended for the Wisconsin game. Apparently when Se'Von Pittman flipped to OSU, one of the coaches just said "Oh well, good thing we still have Shilique Calhoun". His frame fits the speed rusher type, will be interesting to see how it ends up.

Also keep in mind that these guys replaced Corey Freeman and Denzel Drone as the backup DEs without actually playing in a single game. Drone and Freeman have seen a decent amount of playing time in the past 2 seasons, so I wouldn't think they'd be replaced super easily.

LB Darien Harris - Narduzzi thinks he could probably start for us. Backup STAR to Chris Norman. Given Norman's injury issues, he could get some time to give him a breather and also PT in blowouts. Used to be a HS Safety like Denicos Allen, a bit light for a LB but supposedly can fly.

S Kurtis Drummond - RS So. this year I think, will be the favorite to win the starting free safety job. He played nickel for us last year and did pretty well, getting a pick against ND and generally solid overall. Probably doesn't have Trenton Robinson's speed but might be more athletic overall. I think he will end up being really good this year, but will be overshadowed by Johnny Adams and Isaiah Lewis.

DEs Joel Heath and Shilique Calhoun and LB Darian Harris. They're all RS FR this year, so we'll see how they work out.

Reason I cite them is because MSU returned all their DEs from last year . . . and Heath and Calhoun beat out last year's 2nd string guys (Drone and Freeman) to be the back-ups this year. As a result Drone as moved to TE and Freeman is now 4th string. The two incumbents were decent back-ups last year, so MSU fans are feeling good that a pair RS FR have already exceeded them.

Darian Harris is now the #2 "STAR" LB, backing up Chris Norman. Most figured Tai Jones, the only '11 guy to play as a true FR last year, was a lock for that spot, but Harris played so well that Jones may be moved to DE.

On O, I'd say AJ Sims Jr. at WR. He's only 5'9, but people have raved about his hands and route-running. He'll split time with Arnett in the slot. Also, RS FR OG/C Jack Allen (6'1 295) has gotten a lot of love from the staff; nearly had his RS pulled last year. He's the back-up at LG right now, but may move to C next year and Jackson (current C) may move to Chris McDonald's spot at RG in '13.

Again, all speculation, but those are some names you may hear in the next few years as up and comers.

Edit: Apparently Macks types fast than I do

Lol, am I supposed to grade whose response was better between rocky and Mack's? How about on offense? Excluding qb I assume its a wr, who do you guys think steps up the the plate?
