The Blue Board

Why do you guys target so many WRs? I know stars aren't everything, but you have one transfer 4 star WR from the 2011 class, two 4 star 2012 WRs, and one 4 star 2014 wideout. How do your coaches get so many high profile WRs compared to getting high profile people on other positions on your team.

Kilgore and Harris both got quick offers so obviously they think they're quality talent, but do we really need a 3rd WR in this class? Especially with getting Drake Harris in 2014 and looking at snodgrass for 2014 too

MD is changing the offense to an air raid scheme

Sounds like Norman to track is pretty much a done deal. Pretty sure I read somewhere that schools have stopped recruiting him.

Schools have pretty much stopped recruiting Norman. He's going to play his SR year and then do whatever he wants to do. Unless a passion for football kindles inside him this fall, he's done.

So what to do on OL recruiting? Few thoughts:

Evan Jones, a 6'6 TE commit from the '12 class is probably going to end up at OT. That gives MSU 2 OTs and 2 OGs in the '12 class, which reduces the burden of having a large OL class in '13.

Work like hell and grab Finley from Cass Tech at OT.

I have no clue about the OGs out there. Keep an eye out at camps this summer and guys that develop this fall. Cross your fingers about Benenoch. Go the Iowa route and take some developmental guys. Good news is that MSU is looking fine on OG for the next few years, so any '13 kids won't be expected to see the field till '15 at the earliest.

Look out of state. Given Benenoch's saga, I think the coaches are unlikely to do this, and right now there really aren't many OL on the radar.

There are a lot of DL prospects still out there for MSU, so I'm less concerned about that. Definitely disappointed thus far on the OL front, but we're not even half-way to signing day. Lots can happen between now and then. Who knows, maybe someone fires their coach and State flips some commits or something.

I just hope they don't have to go the JUCO route. Fonoti's great, but I hate seeing JUCO's on the OL.

They would probably end up blocking better than MSU’s current O line .

Keith Nichol was one of our best blockers last year, we recruited him as a QB

Schools stopped recruiting him a loooong time ago, it was a given that if he plays football its for MSU.

Yep. No camps, no interviews and only talking to MSU coaches will do that to you. haha. hopefully he finds his love for the game again his SR season, because he seemed like he made the decision after track season

Who needs OLine. Just line up 11 WRs on offense. Ultimate wildcat system. Dantonio will revolutionize the college football offense.

I feel like this is the only thread I can count on not to be laced with tons of backwoods, racist comments. This board has gone to hell. /rant

That said,

You sound like one of those smelly, knuckle-dragging Estonians. Your kind isn't welcome here.
