MSU Red Cedar Message Board

Why do you say that? Caesar I thought was hyped up big time coming out of Florida, and what I saw out of him at the spring game I like. He has size. Wasn't there also talks of moving him to TE at some point.

This is based off what?

One of the RCR had a comment about Caeser impressing in practice. Pretty silly at this point to suggest he's a transfer candidate.

Forget recruiting hype. He is already clearly behind Lippett (SO), Mumphery (JR), Arnett (SO), Langford (SO), Sims (SO) and Fowler (JR). That is two years of that crew, and he will be fighting with Kings, Madaris, Burbridge, Barksdale, Kerrick, Kilgore, etc.

Baring massive improvement, he isn't going to see the field until 2014. I'm just not sure he will wait around to find out if he gets a turn.

As far as moving to tight end, I don't buy it. MSU emphasizes blocking at least equally to pass catching. It's more tackle than receiver at MSU, whereas it is more receiver than tackle at a place like Northwestern. If anything, he could try H-Back--like Fred Smith, and we know how that turned out--but he is a tall long-strider. I don't think he has the body or experience working out of the backfield and at the point of attack.

"I think somebody I don't know will transfer from school because I don't think he will ever play. This is all due to information I have gleaned over the internet."

That's you, right now.

Shocker, he's behind guys all older than him. He's also a "big bodied" receiver, none of the aforementioned are.

Well, I never said he would transfer. But generally, I am suggesting that certain facts--whether gleaned from the internet or not--about Ceaser lead me to believe he could be a transfer candidate. Just like certain facts lead me to believe that Adams or Allen or Gholston or Fowler aren't going to transfer.

Could any of those players transfer? Yes. Is it likely, absolutely not.

Nothing wrong with trasnfers. They happen. Often, it benefits both parties. I think many would have considered Dixon and Deyo transfer candidates, too. I don't see why everyone is so offended that the eighth-to-tenth receiver on the roster is a trasnfer candidate. I never said he would, just that I would pay close attention going foward.

Talk is moving him to TE.

I feel bad for Treadwell. He's done a lot of position swapping and he's gone where ever we needed the help. A true example of someone putting the team before his individual goals. Unfortunately, he can't seem to stay healthy. Allen is going to have that job now for a long time (presuming he can stay healthy).

Burbridge probably redshirts now....It's not the worst thing. It gives him a chance to continue his focus on the books and learn the offense.

Lol.

Not very. He's clearly not informed by anything other than how he thinks a player feels. Maybe Caesar knows that he isn't ready for the field. Or maybe he is looking to take over that TE position once Sims graduates. Or maybe he sees a path for himself at WR and knows that the coaching staff does too. Maybe he doesn't give a damn about what he reads on a message board (assuming he reads it at all).

Dantonio seems to like receivers who also block downfield (think Keith Nichol). With his size he seems a better candidate for that role than most of the guys ahead of him on the depth chart, but probably doesn't have enough time with the team to be good at it yet.
