Something about not doing well in recruiting

Are we -1 now in verbals over the past few months?

Not good. Time to scrap the program.

I do not follow high school football, sorry Vlad.

Crootin always mattered.

MSU got extremely lucky in Cook and Conklin. Crootin simply needs to pickup. If you saw PSU vs Wisconsin, their skill players make our look like sloths and their secondary reminded me of the no fly zone.

You should start an open letter thread on tBob. I have one going for Izzo.

Fixed.

BTW, Vlad, I think they cover recruiting a lot more extensively over at 247. You may want to look into it there.

He's right, I don't think we'll even be able to field a team next season.

Not as much as he freaks out at the thought of nobody giving a shit about his posts here.

You are an idiot if you think MSU guys are actually slower than other teams in the big ten. Oh wait, you are an idiot.

Me neither. I was referring to MSU's recruiting troubles.

The current staff looks like a huge liability in terms of recruiting. We've got MD, who's earned a solid reputation as a HC, and then we've not nobody that top recruits would want to play for.

It's practically only a matter of time before Purdue starts passing us by.

That's not saying much, considering how bad we are at passing.

I don't know, we pretty much passed for Rutgers this year.

Okay.

Fess up. Who bought the KY Jelly for Vlad, Blanch and The _Dude?

That's better than passing a kidney stone, I guess.

We got a bunch of comedians here. That's a good thing, because winning 3 games the entire season, on the heels of a playoff season...that's some funny shit! Hard to make that shit up.

Almost as funny as your nether regions.

The way I see it this is how it's gonna go;
2015- B1G Champs, Playoffs.
2016- 3-9
2017- 0-12
2018- MSU shutters its football program
2020- MSU brings its football program out of the mothballs.
2021- National Champs.

Can you really be that upset about being 5 years away from a national championship?

Vlad the Vag strikes again!

Okay, serious reply.

Vlad, yesterday we had a 3-star guy flip because the staff wouldn't make him a committable offer. Why? Because there are several guys that the staff thinks are better than the kid who look like we have a shot at. Feel bad for the kid, because he really wanted to be a Spartan, but isn't this EXACTLY what you excellencers are always preaching? We need MOAR STARS!

You should be excited today.

Ohio State's average rival star rating is 4.19 which imagine might be a record.
MSU isn't going to be competing on stars so turning away kids that want to be Spartans seems like a dangerous strategy.

Our goal should be to sign ONE 5-star player. Average star rating: 5.00.
Who's premium now, bitches?

Yeah, I'll listen to Vag and Herderp over the coaches/experts.

So Dantonio just did what we all rip Harbaugh, Saban, and Meyer for? Pulling a schollie for someone more desirable late in the process?

Interesting.

MSU is going to have a lot of talent on the field the next several years...however class of 2018 is going to be huge. Cant stack back to back terrible classes like we did in 12 and 13.

So now you are questioning the coaching staff doing this...AFTER you praise those 3 coaches for "elite" recruiting? Saying that's what it takes to win a natty? (over, over, and over again)

We rip them? Who actually gives a fuck about recruiting on the swill to comment on Meyer, Saban, and Harbaugh tactics? You?

It's fine to play the devil's advocate, Mr. Lebowski, but it's a little tiring when you don't put much effort into it.

Here's to hoping Coach D gets lucky a few more times on the recruiting trail.

Damn, I wish he was more like Harbs.

Reading comprehension fail.  There was no scholarship offered.   In your example we were "pulling" scholarships from every football player that wanted to come to MSU and wasn't good enough for a full ride.

I think the 247 sight is really closing down. I got an email about people joining rivals. Vlad is lost.

Nope, because I never play the holier than thou card. All I care about is winning. I want MSU to cheat to win, just not get caught like the other teams. I want Dantonio to operate in the gray. Need a level playing field.

But there are a lot in our fan base that rips those coaches and their tactics, constantly. I wonder where they are now?

Why did people say he flipped then?

Cumber made it up in is own mind that he had a 'commitable offer?
