The thought of Ambry Thomas going to PSU makes me sick.

Ambry Thomas comments on his leaders

Former high school teammate Donnie Corley has worked on behalf of Michigan State to try to get a commitment from him.
“He told me, knowing how their DBs are, I’m going to start,” Thomas said. ‘He told me I’m going to start. I love that opportunity.
“The coaches aren’t telling me that I’m going to start, but they’re telling me, ‘You’re playing, no doubt.’ So that’s just wonderful just to know that.”


I hate that we're back down to this as a program.  One that sent two first round picks in back to back years.  A program which had very good Corners before our two first rounders.   Now, for reasons you all can explain (lack of judgement on picks, lack of work ethic, lack of coaching-I'll defer to our experts) MSU, a feared defense three years ago, is now having our own players say "He (meaning Corley) told me how their DB's are".   

Fuck, these young kids hated the DB's too.   "How they are".  Corley is saying they lack talent or work ethic.  Maybe  both.

If nothing else this tells me that Donnie Corley is still invested in the program.

Hey, thanks for pointing out that my glass is actually half full here.  I needed that.

Yep, good to know he's not giving up.

Cumber, a DB from from Denver is on his 3rd or 4th verbal.

Wisconsin to MSU to reopen to MSU and as of now Colorado State that's about 1800'miles closer to home.

I'm sure this portends four years of solemn and unyielding commitment to his future school.

Harblow has now taken every single top prospect in Michigan. Gotta see how this staff closes this class. M now owns the state of Michigan and urban owns Ohio.

Yes. Sorry about that.

We need offensive linemen.  Find those fuckers out there.  

Oh, and in all of America, is there one kid, who can tee up a football and kick it the fuck out of the endzone?  Tell him, we don't want you to make fieldgoals, we're not asking you to be accurate, you need to be able to kick the ball 75 yards in the air, and we'll let you have a width of 53.3 yards.  <---------160 ft----------> 75 yards deep.   we'll give you a 27K dollar scholarship to do it 95-99% of the time.  

There has to be one soccer kid in America who is capable of that.

A-goddamn-men!

[InTenSity]

On the positive side. The coaches don't have to worry about pesky bowl practices, so they should be out recruiting.

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Shit, we got good recruiting classes and we went 3-9. Let's stick to the 2 and 3 stars with some attitude.

[The_Dude]

Ambry Thomas has been considered a UM lock for months, shouldnt come as any surprise.

And yeah, Corley is telling it like it is. We really lack CB talent. Which is mind boggling since thats supposedly Dantonios bread and butter. To go from having first round picks at CB to needing to convert two frosh WRs to play CB is a massive fall.

If MSU can a couple out of Tyler Johnson, Hamler, DIB, or Jaylen Harris thats as good as we can hope.

[InTenSity]

Super massive fail. Worst fail ever.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

New croot commit. Ironhead Heyward's kid/Cam Heyward's little bro. Committed tonight on an in home. I think he's a LB.

As WBH reports....

Connor Heyward ‏@ConnorHeyward1
Looking forward to continuing my academic and football career at The Michigan State University

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Well he can play WR. I read they are looking at him as a SS or OLB.

Strong Safety. Do it.

You all know that Dantonio wanted Duckett to play LB at MSU. he would have been there if Saban didn't say no.

Better than we normally do I'd say. Maybe with the exception of last year.

[Clarett's Folly]

Who can summarize the recruiting class for me so far without me sifting through pages and pages of bullshit and all Vlad's garbage in that other thread? Are we fucked or are we doing okay?

If I told you that one of these guys would go on to equal Jabrill Peppers' production numbers...

[Guest]

Agree with this. I'm not concerned. We'll get a few 4* and fill out the class with 3*'s. Typical class under this staff.

Classic case of leading for too long and the kid looking for reasons to not come to MSU and found a good one in PSU.

Looking at how PSU turns their playmakers lose compared to Warner, easy choice.
