MSU Red Cedar Message Board

Interesting comment...for the past 30 years people like you were proclaiming that the difference between the two programs was that MSU couldn't recruit nationally? Now you are proclaiming that the difference is that MSU can't recruit instate? LOL

It truly is going to be a VERY sad day for me when Coach D is no longer our coach.

"U Mad MGo?"

It's pretty much fact that he's an idiot.

We're going to GA, TX, and FL to get guys who want to be Spartans. Guys who will work hard, buy into the program, and when they hit the field, out play the 4* guys who went to Michigan b/c they wanted to bask in the tradition.

That's the difference between the two programs and why I think MD will continue to succeed. He's recruiting talent that is willing to work hard and develop into the best possible player they can be. The 2* guy coming out of high school, who two years later everyone is amazed by, was not a 4* guy everyone overlooked. He was a 2* guy that had the potential and desire to work so that when he hit the field in his RS sophomore year was as good or better than the guys at his position who were ESPN Top 150 coming out of high school.

And over time MD has been able to get start getting more high-3*, 4*, and occasional 5* guys who have the same drive and desire to get better, which has upgraded the programs talent and depth considerably. That has the potential to scare off some talented players who think they do not need to, or do not want to work hard. Why go bust my ass at MSU when I can take my 4*s to Michigan and be a star? And how many of those 4* guys has Michigan gotten in recent years that have not lived up to the hype/potential?

That is why I think we keep winning on the field even if we do not win the recruiting rankings battle. The culture of the program MD has built at MSU is what will sustain it over the years.

Fuck sign my ass up.

Coach D needs to get you on the recruiting trail.

+1 to you sir.

Oh, geez.

At the time, we were told we were going into a very dangerous situation: RR was not anywhere near considered a lame duck at that point as he was 5-0. And after slipping up in his first two games against MSU, he certainly had figured things out and was not about to lose at home to visiting MSU, which had not even played a game outside of the state at that point, and had not played a true road game.

Yeah, but their team lost while their guy was in the hospital.

Ooooh, scary. I remember another coach with Ohio roots who would give those assholes bulletin board material and kick their ass anyway.

It's funny to read the comment section of that article with all the Wal*Marters. Such uneducated fools.
