I think we'll add some more guys.

And I forgot...didn't the extra Covid year allow for more (than 85) scholarships for awhile. Maybe that ends this year, and we need guys to leave. I could be wrong.

I also think we might get some of the guys that are in the portal back. I don’t blame any college coach that’s able to go to the NFL if they leave. Has to be insane being a college coach nowadays

Here's a google doc with our scholarship numbers:

We're currently at 72/85. So...using my wicked math skills...we have 13 scholarships available. That seems like a lot.

3-9

Edited to add: That’s the bright side, buddy.

I think MSU finish somewhere between 0-12 and 12-0.

This is brilliant! You should work toward a larger audience, like Wake.

Want college kids to get paid

Feel they should have as much freedom of movement as is allowed a coach who has been recruiting them.

Feel they are not just students but employees

Hate the portal and think it will implode college football

And have no idea how to fix it.

Go Green though. I’ll be watching every play next Fall. It’s my crack addiction.

Pretty much where I am. No clue how you fix it without making athletes employees and wrecking non revenue sports and blowing up the whole "student/athlete" idea that we all know is bullshit anyway.

But my daughter will be a freshman at MSU in the fall so I'll be there most every game and hopefully we'll get some continuity and win 6-7 games and it will be fun again.

The East Lansing RB Jace Clarizio committed to MSU.

Waiting for sideline reporter Robert Sakimano to file his report.

MSU just got a promise ring from former umaa LB Semaj Bridgeman.

I see umaa getting Mangham as a “Look what we did” move and help their minuscule instate recruiting in the Detroit Metro area.

The new staff is losing out on talent the school had been recruiting for 2-3 years since more than 50% of the staff bolted to the NFL and some other coaching jobs.

Congrats on continuing a Green tradition.

Second sadest and proudest day of my fatherhood with child number 2 was their acceptance into the top saxophone studio in the US, with Don Sintia, great that child number 1 was into poly Sci at James Madison.
