Taking my cat to the vet in a bit, then heading to TireRack to get some new tires installed.

No. He would go to Duke. Carolina or Kentucky.

I had a dream last night where I came up with this awesome new food idea. A Pizza Pot Pie. You take your pizza ingredients and put them in a pie dish. It was the best thing ever. Everyone loved it. I woke up and thought, "That's a deep dish pizza you fucking idiot." Then I made some coffee.

hasn't he pretty much gotten all Lansing-area kids he's wanted?

Marcus, Denzel, eventually Bryn.. my guess is that Brandon Johns is leaning that way.

I always thought the kid that played at Eastern and went to Providence - LaDontae Henton - could've played at a slightly higher level. Was a slashing guard, very explosive but probably a bit of a tweener in terms of size.

Izzo would have kept him for 4 years by stunting his development.

The correct answer was not answering your question? Weird.

Henton was a beast. All Big East. Izzo might have screwed that one up.

he was fun to watch in high school. Didn't watch him much at Providence.

Do you guys think Dantonio could have landed Randy Kinder?

Jeff Smith is a scummer.. would've guided Kinder anywhere but MSU.

GO GREEN!!

he was at the time.

(actually a very good guy but he played at scUM... I just wanted to play the insecure MSU fan for a minute).

I think the OP had a good question and my feeling is yes for the same reasons. MSU has rarely lost a player out of its own backyard.

The landscape of recruiting has definitely changed, I suppose we could go back and think of all sorts of players we'd land or lose but I don't think it would change very many things.

Best high school football player I ever saw. He would have been a big time star at MSU. George would have given him the ball 35 times a game.

Can we get back to posting pictures of pizza pies?

I firmly think if there wasn't uncertainty at MSU during his time of recruitment he would have gone Green.

I wasn't living here at the time but it seems like everyone is in agreement that he's probably the best player to ever come out of mid-Michigan.

I played against Carl Pickens in high school.. dude was an athlete unlike any other. Especially to all of us country-bumpkin' hillbillies.

Yeah, I think he f'd up going to ND.

BTW, didn't he get in trouble down there? MY memory is foggy, but I thought he was found passed out on campus or something like that. At ND that would be a big deal that could cost you on the fb team, at MSU in the 90's that was the norm.

that explains why we cooled on him.
