Update: DeAnthony Arnett is a Spartan

  • Doesn't DA have to sit for a season before he plays??? How can he play next season?

    I saw Arnett play in Gainesville in September. The kid looked VERY good for a freshman in terms of running routes and getting separation. I said at the time that I don't usually give a second thought about players that go elsewhere, but losing a receiver of this caliber was not good. I think Dantonio will do everything he can to get him now.

    I sure as shit hope so.

    You use a lot of question marks. Only one is necessary.

    DA can apply for a Hardship because of the health of his father. If granted he would be eligible to play this year.

    Read the thread.

    There are hardship exemptions if a family member falls ill.

    That was my lasting impression of the kid as well. He was very vaudvillian about the recruitment process. I hope he has matured. If he has, great. If not, maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing if he didn't choose MSU.

    Nontheless, I wish he and his family the best.

    The night before his committment was hilarious. The board loved it, and for such a personal and inconsequential, in the grand scheme of things, decision he made fun of it. It was great and you know it.

    This would be absolutely massive. If he could play next year and transferred here in January for spring ball, he could be a huge piece to the puzzle next year.

    So are there a few schollies available from 2011 that would allow back-dating if he enrolled in January 2012?

    Him and Michigan are a perfect match then.

    Don't know what would be worse, Morris tweeting him incessantly or the Walmarters who have internet access and can comprehend Twitter instead of MLive. Morris is the new Walvie hero as he is apparently quite the trash talker already.

    Anyone. Anyplace. Anytime.

    I enjoyed this as well. It was pretty funny. Made me even more bummed when he went for UT.

    I didnt get in before he deleted the account, but when cBaggett left he made it very clear that he was going to miss his coach. And I know it has been a stressful season.

    Hopefully he was smart enough to delete the account before he announced the transfer. The rumor mill had brought a lot of traffic to him, and the Vols and Walmarters were about equal. The MSU fans seemed to be the classiest of the bunch, just wishing him well. But we come to expect classy from ourselves, and the opposite from the rest of the world. I was just very impressed with what I was reading before he disappeared.

  • The first time around playing time was a big factor to Arnett, we lose our three starting recievers and Fowler is a big question mark due to injuries. Have to think Arnett would like the playing time we have to offer vs U of M or ND

  • I didn't really care for the way he handled his recruitment. The whole Twitter and Facebook show he put on for the media seemed really immature. I know he's just a kid, but the way he tried to soak up every ounce of attention he could didn't really say a lot about his character. I would question how a kid like that handles the spotlight. He's a very talented prospect and would be a good fit here, but hopefully he has matured a bit. I'd love to see him in Green and White.

    You're in college. The window of opportunity to drink and do drugs and take advantage of young girls is getting smaller by the day.

    coachd Can not comment at this point, but I doubt coachd would not be interested if he becomes available

    My bad, dude. Reading comprehension fail by the reading teacher. I thought it said that you didn't think Coach D would be interested.

  • If Arnett does end up coming to MSU, I hope the rest of the 4-Star and 5-Star kids choosing between MSU and another school finally realize they should be a Spartan right away instead of wasting a year of their time at some other school before coming to their senses and joining the Green & White.

    As long as he soaks up the attention of Andrew Maxwell and Connor Cook... I would love to have him. Would have loved to have him this season.

    I thought it was awesome. It mocked all the 40 year olds who hang on 17 year old kids' every statement. I don't think he was trying to milk every ounce of attention he could, I think he was mocking the spectacle that the recruitment process has become, and he did it in hilarious fashion.

    Nah...he was a doosh about it. Also, remember that he was suspected to be running a fraudulent recruitment from his end. The charge of fishy business from the arnett camp was out there...add in his insensitive comments about Dantonio's heart attack...it lead "insiders" to state that bridges were burned with MSU.

    The guy has great talent...every MSU fan should want that talent on campus. However, fans that have concern over his character are justified in their concern.

    Calling him a doosh is sure going to get him to want to come here...
