I hate that we lost Adams, that guy is the best "3 star" ive seen on tape. When the dust settles Dantonio has won 95% of his games with 3 star guys. Im not worried regardless of recruits, Izzo has done the game, he devlops players (2016 MSU hoops is going to be sick with Izzo pulling a top class). Same case scenario with Jim Harbaugh, hes getting his guys and he will develop them. The next 3-4 years are poised for OSU, MSU and UM in this conference. Its anyones chance to win it.

Yeah, Adams is an elite back and the fact he's a 3 star is a joke. He has elite vision, elite acceleration, and elite elusiveness. George Hill has elite speed and was a top 60 player for a while, but I like Adams better although Hill probably offers more position versatility, could play S, WR, RB etc.

To tell you the truth, I was most disappointed when Naquan Jones left the class, I think he's really really underrated. I think what happens with these services sometimes is they watch film on a guy and look at the weight he's listed at and then give a grade. Well, Jones's listed weight is what he weighed a couple years ago, 283 lbs. So the services watch the film and go, this kid moves really well for a 283 pounder, he's got really good athleticism and get off, looks like a top 150 player. Well, Jones weighed in at 325 lbs this summer and played at that weight this fall, he was dominant and athletic at camps and in games at that weight. He has rare athletic ability for someone so big, when Coach Manny gets ahold of him he'll be a 6-4, 315 lb wrecking machine by the time he hits the field. Happy to have him back, he's my favorite recruit in the class.

We really are loaded at DT going forward. Enoch Smith Jr. will be a force next year, and Craig Evans is already clearly our 2nd best DT behind McDowell. Raquan Williams could have played this year and been a force had we needed him to. Damon KNox will be getting that 6th year. We're going to be stout in the middle.

OSU coach visited him at school today. Maybe he wore the sweatshirt because of that.
 
Hes a sideshow so far. he had to set some kind of record with 200 school visits in a year

Im not counting on him
 
Not worried about Corley at all.

2016 PSU committ RB Miles Sanders will be taking an official visit to MSU, he's the #62 player in the country.

We have 18 in our class, still think we have room for 24 or 25.

Rumors floating around that the nations #1 RB Miles Sanders is close to flipping to MSU. He's #1 on Rivals and 247, and composite #2.
 
Coach D has an in home visit scheduled tomorrow with Daelin Hayes.

Corley is pushing his announcement back now.
 
If he isnt happy to be part of this program Id rather not have him. The thing is players that start out with baggage and distractions often continue down that road through their tenure. I could care less if he signs at this point. Take next year off also and keep kicking tires. In fact Id laugh if we pulled the offer like we did on Gavin Cupp just to make a point.

Hearing now that hill and Corley will announce together, not looking great. MSU isn't getting a visit from hill before the announcement but he's been there a bunch. This might be trending to Tennessee. Also, some confusion about their announcement date, considering they want to enroll early

Hearing the opposite. Hearing this is very good for us and we are strong with Levert now after his visit last week.
 
Trishton Jackson and Kenny Lyke got their 4 star bumps this week from Rivals, no surprise. If you're a Star Gazer, we have 10 4 star recruits in this class now, and will probably land 3-4 more.

Hearing Daelin Hayes will pick ND tomorrow. We just had an in home with DC LB Aaron Hansford though, he's the #162 player in the class and considered the fastest LB recruit in the country, he runs a 4.51 forty.

Looks like Harbaugh visited Corley days ago and afterwards decided to announce his decision with Hill on the same day.

I think you're confusing correlation and causation there. I am not saying we're getting Corley but my guess is that he might end up at UT and not either of our schools.

Actually, Hill and Corley visted MSU last Wednesday together and took in a practice and a basketball game, then they decided to announce together this weekend.

Ive been thinking Tenn (why $) or Michigan. Odd Corely would make an additional visit to OSU.
 
Dalien Hayes to ND, sucks but not surprised, they were always strong with him. at least we don't have to play against him every year
 
Levert Hill will be taking an official visit to MSU in the next few weeks. Really good news.
