Football rumors (Merged)

Nuked the angry white man post. Not the place. Take it to tBin.

So a day after I finally feel good about how my school handles things I find out we have morons on the BOTs. Great

How does Huge still get MSU people on his show after constantly bashing Dantonio for almost a decade?

I know, GRR, Secchia owns the station, etc. etc. I'm still stunned Izzo goes on his show.

If THIS is how you find out that we have morons on the BOTs, I have to wonder just how heavy of a rock have you lived under for the last few decades?

Not the same situation (but there is really no reason for a separate thread) - Colorado doesn't properly handle allegations against an assistant coach on the football team and the Chancellor is suspended for 10 days and the AD and Head Coach each have to donate $100,000 to charity

Tyson Smith‏
@4Tyson_TD
I get cleared this month!

Roster released and no Vayante Copeland. I guess that was the DB "attrition" being referenced elsewhere.

Well Goose is not here and I've got 10 minutes until my next meeting. So here's some more news.

Dan Murphy @DanMurphyESPN
26s
Michigan State OL coach Mark Staten has been promoted to assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator.

Al Martin @AlMartinWKAR
11s
Mark Staten has been promoted to assistant head coach/recruiting coordinator and Sheldon White as director of player personnel.

Kyle Austin @kylebaustin
36s
New Sheldon White title is different from Curtis Blackwell’s, but he will “play a lead role in organizing the recruiting efforts” per MSU

Per Mark Dantonio, CB Vayante Copeland no longer on the MSU roster. Dantonio says he was not dismissed from the team & wishes him the best.

Dantonio also said he has concerns about Tyson Smiths ability to play football in the future. Smith suffered stroke last fall

WBH - I must say that, in light of Goose's absence, your copy and paste skills are unsurpassed on this board.

Brian Lewerke: The reason I came up from Arizona is for this moment. ... Also says 10 wins would make this a pretty successful season.

BL setting the bar very high

Marmaduke has a live thread going on 247, some interesting tidbits...

"Didn't want to speak to Tyson Smith's health, and Dantonio isn't sure he'll be able to play again. Paulino-Bell is not here with the rest of the freshmen."

"Dantonio said it was "unfortunate what was written" regarding Cassius Peat."

"Copeland is no longer with the program. Dantonio said he wasn't kicked off the team. Hinted it's academics. Dantonio also said he'll make a final decision on Demetrius Cooper shortly, but he's "paying the consequences.""

Fuck Marmaduke. This is tSwill beyotch!

So Copeland's back issues clearly didn't heal the way he wanted. That's too bad.

Hey Bob...Had a big ass storm here last night so most were out of power. I had power but no cable or interwebz except on my phone and I hate logging in on that thing. Discovering that mess when I woke up convinced me to cook a nice breaky and head for the trails/river to survey the damage.

We had LOT of trees get blown down so I must have slept through quite a boomer. Next time I'll slow the ATV down and take pics for you. OR maybe you could bring your bike to ride behind me and I'll get pics while I wait for you. No need to call my weekender neighbors with bad news so there's that.

Anyway I should be here now unless I go back out to clean the garage.....so...I'll be here.

that said, that sucks - I wish we'd get some rain down here (without the wind).. everything is so dry and I'm sick of watering plants already - and it's just June.

Police report is out. Here's an article.

It's what a number of us have suspected for months. Blackwell didn't follow protocol and was interested in being a fixer and friend. It should have been Blackwell notifying Dantonio as soon as Blackwell knew rather than Robertson telling Dantonio about the 3 players.

More juice on CB:

http://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/michigan-state/spartans/2017/06/14/curtis-blackwell-michigan-state/395849001/

A member of Michigan State football's coaching staff told university police that he felt Curtis Blackwell had unprofessional rapport with some of the Spartans’ players from Detroit and their parents.

That coach, whose name is redacted from MSU Police reports obtained through a public records request, said he had issues with Blackwell’s ethics. The coach told police he questioned Blackwell taking a NCAA basketball tournament trip at the expense of one of the football program’s boosters and called Blackwell’s role with Sound Mind, Sound Body while working as MSU’s director of college advancement and performance “a conflict of interest.”

Great, here comes the death penalty.

Sounds like some didn't like Blackwell very much.

Interesting that he was still running (or owning/profiting) the SMSB camps. I wondered if he was still allowed to do so. Seems like the NCAA would said 'no' to that.

This may not go well for recruiting in Detroit. Coaches showing up at SMSB camps might get awkward.

I thought SMSB was no more with the new camp rules?

I'm not sure if that's a bad thing.

Agreed.

I'll say it again, over here. Fuck Detroit. Don't need it. If these coaches are upset at the way MSU handled this stuff, then screw them and hope the kids they mentor get better guidance. don't need Detroit, never have.

If PSL coaches are pissed off because CMD didn't cover Corley or Vance collective asses on a sexual assault charge what's the bar?
Manslaughter? Murder?

It looks more like there are some PSL coaches looking for a reason to shift towards aa for any number of reason$.
