This is just off the top of my head..Some of the guys I dont really know yet..

I like the predictions. I honestly think MSU gets Norfleet and Rickets, but JMO.

[trueblue12]

Pookie McQuartershaft...that's not real is it?

[pGekko]

Kicker/athlete is a normal combo.

Kick Returner/Athlete right?

My bad, I'm out.

Not real in the least...just wanted to make sure you guys were paying attention.

"All you need to know is, I'm out."

[The Black Hand]

I think both O'Brien and Godin are blue. I also think Laron Taylor will be Blue too.

This next class is ridiculous. Michigan could easily take 10-12 guys from in-state. I think that is pretty unprecedented.


tommy, what do you think about Godin wrt his position? I've heard some say DT, others OT.

How many scholarships are they expected to have?

I thought I read on here maybe in the '11 thread that said Deback really liked MSU. Youthink Jabari Dean and Latta go out of state with MSU offers too? I know its your opinion but it sounds like you know what you are talking about. Latta does seem like he might go out of state.

Anyone know when Dantonio is hiring Treadwells replacement. I know it will be in house but he still needs a WR coach, right? He needs to hire someone who like to recruit. I dont blame the coaches that dont like to recruit but too many of the best players left the state this year.
