MSU Red Cedar Message Board

If the NCAA is actually giving a waiver to the 85 man limit- it makes complete sense to "load up" as much of the good players from PSU that you can bring on board.

edit: is there an adjustment to the 105 man limit as well? Would assume that would be the case if you are taking PSU players and adding them to the roster.

The only thing you would really have to be cautious of is "team chemistry".

Dantonio has been conscious of team chemistry since day one, even more so after cleaning house in 2009-10 following Rather Hall. MSU will evaluate these players as they would a typical recruit and follow the same steps, so I don't think that's a concern at all.

I was thinking of the seniors that would be gone for 2013. Got a little excited about the chance to add more talent and see where it takes us this year.

Like others have speculated though, we may be losing more early entrants than expected after this year- so possible to snag a couple of younger PSU guys too.

You forgot that the Detroit newspapers will have a retrospective on negative events that shaped the negative perception of universities with the first chapter cataloging the MSU riots. The second chapter will focus on MSU's postseason and TV ban in the 1970s. The third will focus on Tom Izzo's interest in the Cleveland Cavaliers job to be followed by a 10 page spread about the Big House BBQ.

Plus his pops is an MSU Alum.

What will be interesting is to see which current PSU players transfer elsewhere who could have an immediate affect on conference races this season.

MSU had a chance to evaluate Bradshaw at camp last summer and didn't offer for whatever reason. Keep in mind scholarship numbers were and still are limited in this class, but there are higher-tier prospects MSU has missed out on since then. Expected to play outside linebacker for PSU and is also a standout HS receiver at 6-foot-3.

Yeah, that's the crappy thing to me, this could fast-forward um into a top program again. They have depth issues & talent issues on the OL & DL. The get 1-2 PSU starters on each side, and suddenly, problem solved.

Wait, does this mean Larry Johnson did not rush for 782 yards in the first quarter against us in 02?

once again dont think a starter at psu is interested in transferring to uofm to be a back up for a year.

uofm is pretty close to 85 if they exceed 85 ships by some number this fall then they will have to be under 85 by the same number the following fall.

It isn't so cut and dry.

A lot of these kids are east coast kids, I expect a lot of them will go home to the east coast state schools they're from ala Rutgers, Maryland va tech maybe some go over to pitt etc

How much has this got to suck for Rob Bolden and his father? He had a great opportunity at MSU but chose Penn State to ride the pine and then this. We lucked out with Maxwell anyway whom will be great I say.
