  • There is no chance I read this article. Don't need to read a kid trash a program he was committed to for 6 months. Good luck, kid.

  • i hold no ill will towards the kid, if he doesnt want to be a spartan, than its best he go somewhere else for his collegiate career. i want kids that want to be a spartan more than anything else after high school.

    I quit paying for 247 last week so I didn't read. Did he really not have the balls to call coach himself?

    Apparently, by his own words. He has not yet talked to the coaches at Michigan State.

  • Cannot wait to get my votes back, so I can downvote this puppy.

    Also, mods, please change the thread title to "Drake" or "Drake Harris," not "Harris." We should be celebrating Gary Harris, a guy who wanted to be here, not tossing in some random kid with the same name who doesn't.

    Jeez that's disappointing outta the kid. What a gutless move on his part.

    Skip1856

  • Anyone read the rivals article. Heard it mentioned he was less than complimentary in that one.

    Skip1856

  • All the best to the kid.... We've had some pretty damn good receivers who fit in quite well here, lots of them. Go "fit" wherever you want.

    Take care, your loss... Ps. You haven't even finished high school yet- you're not exactly Andre Rison just yet... Grow up and be quiet. Go to school wherever u want. Big deal.

  • Settle down people. I know it's not what we do, but come on. This is a 17/18 year old kid. He does not make his decisions based upon the same kind of life experiences that most of us do as adults. He does not always see the bigger picture. And even if he does - maybe his bigger picture doesn't include MSU. That's his prerogative. What we feel is best for him - and was best for us - might not necessarily be the truth. It's all subjective.

    MSU has a great, up and coming football program led by great coaches and leaders of men. MSU is a great institution of higher education which shapes real life experiences and cultivates leaders and loyalty. No skin off of our back. Good luck to this young man. I hope that he reaches his full potential wherever he ends up.

  • Honestly I'm glad he got this decomit over with now. He's not a Spartan and will never get to know what that means.

    You know, I don't follow recruiting, too old. However, reading that article, I'm uncomfortable about that young man. I don't know what it was. First extensive reading I've done on him, and Jack asked great questions. He's the guy, who "Love's MSU basketball and Tom Izzo" and "Loves U of M football" Step back and think about that. I won't write about this kid anymore, but if he was going to play basketball it was MSU. Football now possibly U of M. Football only, U of M. Now he says things like NC possibility etc.

    I ask you, have you ever met somebody who is an MSU basketball fan and a U of M football fan? What do you think of them? Seriously. Anyway, my thoughts are always a kid should never commit his junior year. Things like this happen and kids change their mind. He's going to go to U of M, but our defensive backs and Dantonio and Narduzzi should handle anything that U of M can throw at us. We'll be fine. I just thought that after i read that article, I felt uncomfortable about the kid. He's not a Spartan, I don't know that I'm "happy" about that, but damn, I just don't care.

    The problem the kid has created is he has put a target on his back. If he goes to UM especially he will take some hard shots from our defense.

    He strikes me as not very intelligent and going for a sales pitch. You make a good point in that he should have never committed early.

    A 17 year old kid strikes you as "not very intelligent"?

    Please tell me more Mr. Hawking.

    Some 17-year old's are very mature and beyond their years at that age.
