Spartans After Texas Wide Receiver

Article coming later about how the new strategy is to have Terry behind center, run away from the tackles and 7 wide-outs to throw to..

Harris, Snodgrass, Brown, Madaris, Burbridge, Jay Harris, Kerrick..

Poor use of resources and not a position of need. For all that work in Texas, you -might- get one commit from there in five years. Just no way you're going to pull a kid with Texas, A&M, Baylor or OU offer from that area and anyone worth their weight in Texas will have offers from at least one of those schools. Benenoch committed and it was still a fight. Would be much better served to hit Maryland/Jersey and the Tidewater region where MSU has actually gotten kids in the recent past. That area is now in Big Ten country as well. It's a gusher for years to come with an east coast guy like Narduzzi on staff.

Hes already commited to ND......I think?

Samuels and Roushar are out worst recruiters on the staff and seem to strike out on areas they have been assigned to recruit but at least Roushar landed Demetrius Cooper out of Illinois Samuels hasn't landed us anybody.

Are you sure Tex, Baylor, OU and A&M have offered the kid?

He's got offers from Ind, Miss, WV, Mizz, Houston, SMU, Utah

What makes them anymore attractive than MSU?

He's a junior. Still plenty of time for him to pick up offers. Benenoch's list was even less impressive as a junior and MSU couldn't hold him.

So your stance is that MSU has a shot with this kid? I'll go on record and say MSU has no shot once any of the four schools listed become involved.

I scouted Dallas/FW/Plano and south almost all the way to Austin on certain occasions for Auburn for five years and two different staffs when I was working part time in FW. Even schools like Baylor and TCU have incredible pull with Texas kids. The pressure to stay home is strong. I thought it would be like Ohio and Ohio State, but that wouldn't even do it justice. Hopefully for MSU's sake Texas, OU, A&M and Baylor don't get involved, but pass happy Big 12 programs close to home are big sells for Texas high school kids.

Mizzou is close to Texas and they are in the SEC, Ole Miss is in the SEC and has maybe the best recruiter in the county in Ed Orgeron which would make both more attractive than MSU.

Scrap the program.

I suppose there's always a shot...

Given that - when half a dozen people are in your back yard staring at a particular patch of grass and talking amongst themselves, you're going to slide on over to see what all the fuss is about. The Texas schools and OU don't have to do as much scouting when schools like MSU, Indiana, Missouri, the Big 12 North schools scout, offer and do their work for them in a lot of instances. If they're coming down there, there's a reason. Then the Texas schools can get serious about their recruitments. See Benenoch, Caleb. I've seen it happen in person many times before.

Allen is a junior in a big city like Houston. Won't be long before the word is out and he's looking at 10-15 BCS Conference offers. Hopefully he values MSU as one of the first big schools to offer him and Samuel can sell him well. My original point was that I just don't feel it to be a very good use of resources with some of the other areas that MSU has had success in now more readily accessible than ever.

I am a dumbass..
