Projected starter Thiyo Lukusa quits Michigan State football team

WBH told me this last week.

Good for him.

Didn't see your post in the FB thread until after I'd put this up, but big enough it probably needed it's own thread.

The rumors had been out there for weeks, but confirmation is important.

I wish this fine young man all the best.

His comments are very telling. I'm happy the kid is following his heart. Yeah, it would've been nice if he'd been more up front during his recruiting, but what 17-year-old really knows what they want out of life? Staten is understandably bitter, but his comments on the record don't come off in the best light.

Lukusa is an example of a person whose height/size got them into a sport and somewhere after they started they recognized it was something they didn't enjoy.

Story said he want to be a CO or get into a Federal law enforcement job. A lot easier to pass the physical with healthy knees and shoulders.

Good luck to him. O line will be Swiss cheese next year

I hope the winter conditioning program was really tough and the o line guys were lifting lots of weights. Maybe that is something that he didn't want to do so much.

I'm surprised people like you aren't blaming Dantonio in some weird way.

Doesn't sound like he adhered to the motto.

good. perhaps dantonio will finally grow the balls to fire this deadweight. I'm sorry, but hes simply not big ten coaching material.

Wasn't Stanten garnering head coach interviews?
