How many OL will MSU take in '13? I'd like to see 4 given that MSU took 2 in '11 (not counting Fonoti because he's a JUCO) and 3 in '12, but I know MSU is low on scholarships for '13.

There are other OG prospects, particularly 4-star PA OG Pat Kugler, who grew up in MI as an MSU fan that the staff is in on.
I see your recruiting obsession only extends to basketball .

I'm a believer in 4 OL every year (maybe 3 if they are interchangable)
These are the lifeblood if your team if you have to oversign a position it's OL

I think MSU ends up with 4 OL, despite limited scholarship numbers. I think MSU is alright with interior lineman right now, so they aren't in a hurry to offer. Offensive tackle is a completely different story. MSU needs a couple big time OT in this class, and they cannot afford to sit around, so their evaluations and offers have to come early.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jepperson ends up with an offer, but right now MSU is in a position where they can afford to wait. From all accounts, he isn't in a hurry to decide and doesn't have any BCS offers anyway. So, if you're MSU, why offer before you're ready? Decide on your no brainers, send out offers and let your fringe guys earn it at camp. You would hate to jump the gun when the race doesn't start for another six months.

I would like to see how the camps and other events go before offering Dillard and Jeppesen. Obviously it would be nice to grab 2 in state guys that are high on us...but... MSU is becoming very attractive to recruits and has certain things going for it in 2013 that will draw in more OL's attention. PT, Depth, and being proven B1G Contenders.

No questions there. Kid's top 200 on 247 and top 100 on Rivals.
Be really nice to lock up Norman early. High level in-state OT allows the staff to really zero in on just 1 out-of state OT. I think this year is when MSU's on-field success starts paying off.
If you read football recruiting threads, you know Rocky wants Kugler. When all is said and done, he may even surpass Kings in the SpartanRocky Top 2.

A class of:
Norman RT
Bosch. LT
Kugler C/G
Dillard/Jeppesson - G scholly/ grey shirt. Figure we can land both that way.
Pretty amazing how each year the staff is elevating the profile of our recruiting.

I'm sure he'll outdo Chris D. Rucker in the production department, but doubt Kings will ever be able to match Rucker's annual success in the Green and White game.

Dude, CDR is a first-ballot Spring Game Hall of Famer. No one is coming close to that mark.

We need to retire CDR's jersey - but only for the Spring Game.
