Dantonio Offers Campbell

This would be nice

Gotta like that he may want to go into journalism. Would be a huge get.

I'm no recruiting expert, but I don't think kids still looking around are good recruiting tools.

I just spoke to someone recently who knows PSL football well. We were talking and Campbell came up...this person said in all likelihood he is going out of state...unlikely UM. Person said a lot of Detroit kids are started to get turned off by the strict offense Hoke is assembling...kids want more open offenses and like MD since he's a player's coach...just my two cents.

Thanks... Interesting stuff. Pure speculation and more discussion-based, but despite the strong Michigan influence they are around, at what point do these Cass Tech kids see all the Cass Tech kids in the classes ahead of them going to Michigan and not playing much, not succeeding much and not getting to the next level? Off of that, at what point do they attribute that to the coaching at Michigan? I'd think at some point some of these kids finally see that their peers from Cass Tech are not having luck at one school and they then want to open up their horizons a little bit on the recruiting front. May be a bit of growing distrust in terms of what they've seen from development.

Interesting how none of the Cass Tech kids from Michigan went to the NFL while the one kid who strays away and ends up at LSU (Barksdale) gets drafted.

what makes UMAA's offense strict?

uncertain is a great description. that makes perfect sense. players get to see that um either runs the qb, runs the rb, or just throws the ball up in the air all willy nilly. i can see why players don't like that type of uncertainty.

To be fair, Gardner is a legitimate passing threat. And their incoming recruit is supposedly no slouch. It'll be interesting to see how many elements of the spread zone-read they retain.

Bet this kid goes to Bammer.

Yeah, he wants MSU to offer earlier so they don't have to camp. That's just not really the way the staff has done it in the past and I don't blame them for it. Part of the reason the staff is so good at evaluating talent is because they get a lot of targets in camp and can see them up close and in person and not have to rely so heavily on film. Richardson threw a huge fit on Twitter that he had to camp for an offer. Not sure when that request became such a sign of disrespect in the recruiting circle, especially for an in-state kid.

IIRC, the kid is a sophomore, right? It's a wee bit early to be throwing in the towel on his position of choice, especially since MD is interested.
