Serious Question for Steve Wiltfong and those in the know

  • Steve Wiltfong said...

    Yeah, Coach Dantonio makes most kids come to campus, no matter who they are or how hyped they are before offering. Now if it's a kid they think has genuine interest and just can't make the trip at that time for whatever reason, then they'll offer. Other schools are using offers as feelers at this point. The debate could go on and on for who's right here. There's several ways to skin a cat in my mind.

    Great info! What's Helwagen been up to?

    Stop thinking about skinning cats and get out there and do it! Nothing worse than looking back in 50 years thinking "what if?"

    My guess would be between 150 and 200. Why are you asking/whats your hidden agenda?

    I want to know many times im going to read about a certain prospect being offered before the class is filled. We are looking at about 200 different prospects by the recruiting reporters before the class gets filled. I realize you fanboys eat this stuff up and dwell on every prospect. I just think I'll wait to read the welcome to msu threads and ignore the threads proclaiming so and so had a good visit and was offered.

    Hidden agenda. That MADe me laugh. Only the paranoid fanboy would post that. Keep those downvotes coming. They really hurt my fellings. Bwaaaaa suck a twerp.

    So you are no longer going to be on the edge of your seat after a recruit visits and says " I loved my visit up there"?

    It took you this long to figure it out?

    How many people from recruiting sites do you think these kids have calling them everyday? Wouldn't you just start giving the same answers telling everyone you enjoyed the visit til those people stop bothering you?

  • Despite Tanners hidden agenda, I do find the threads where it's reported that a recruit really enjoyed his visit and felt like it was a family atmosphere, and everyone starts creaming themselves and upvoting everything pathetic. What is a kid suppose to say ?

    I have to assume UM can bus some fans in from Central for a recruiting weekend to make it look like hot girls go there?

    What about the threads for the kids we miss on. Are you going to ignore those also?

    Are you the same guy over and over that posts comments like this, or is it a few of you?

    I'm a national reporter at 247Sports. I come to this site whenever anything Michigan State related comes across my desk. I broke Josiah Price's verbal commit. I was the reporter that brought good news on Aaron Burbridge over and over and the first one with quotes following his commitment. Same with Kodi Kieler. Jon Reschke this year, first one with quotes.

    No agenda against Michigan State. Met Cousins this summer at Elite 11, he's awesome. I love what Coach Dantonio and the staff do. Think they're tremendous football coaches. Love the product on the field.

    I do love the passion on this board. Think the shots I take here are unjustified.

    I'm not sure, those posts seem to get deleted. I'm really just trying to whore myself out for upvotes, and saying things like that is a guaranteed 4 - 10 upvotes.

    Its a recruiting website now. It wasn't 15 months ago. It is what it is, its still the best place to come to read about everything MSU and there really aren't any alternatives.

    So how long is it going to take people to realize that simple fact? The old RCMB only exists on a stack of dusty Iomega Zip drives.

    I'm giving it 9 more months, hoping and praying for any actual message board improvements. At the grandfathered price, this place goes back and forth between being worth it, for me. I'm just hoping for improvements, if not, I'll move on and try to find something else to occupy my time at work.

    This is why Dillard has so many offers but none from MSU. A lot of schools are using the offer as a feeler. If we offer he is likely to commit. We obviously have some guys higher on the board so we either wait to strike out on those guys or see him in camp and make a decision then.

    How many prospects does your typical NCAA team offer per year? I realize class size can make a difference and certain positions of need can also cause a spike. But say is the average class is around 15 to 18 players, how many offers are made typically to fill that class? Just wondering.

    Not really true because Trevor left it open during the Nebraska game.

    Why not allow someone else take over the old rcmb then? All the fairies and boner fanboys can stay here and blow each other all day. I mean the old dsfs between the misfits and the kkk ( kool kids klub) were fun. This place is just recruit central with hostile homers who spin all things positive msu regardless of reality. It fucking sucks. The move in a mob mentality and trevor made some mods. Unbelievable.
