MSU Red Cedar Message Board

$$$?

Absolutely! In 07 State lost out on 5 Star Ron Johnson who left for sunny So Cal. He got injuried and had an average college career and is now struggling to find a NFL roster spot. Next yr some no name 2 star from Westerville Ohio named BJ Cunningham WANTED to be a Spartan and now all future MSU wideouts are chasing his records!

This does not fit into Ernie's agenda.

Yup and we settled for some 2 star named Bell! Worked out pretty well for us! And Bell might end up being the better pro!

Harris doesn't have the character or maturity to be a Spartan. Pull his offer and give me the next Blair White anyday.

I don't wish ill upon the kid. It's better to have a guy decommit now than in December. While I do think it was a little cheap to have his HS coach call MD instead of calling personally, I do think he did the right thing to decommit sooner rather than later. So hats off to him for that.

MD will find--if he hasn't already--other WR(s) who MSU will put in the NFL. One positive tradition this program has maintained consistently has been putting WRs in the NFL--even after some of MSU's bad seasons.

Mumphrey, Arnett, Burbridge, Madaris etc...MSU is stacked at WR. And don't forget about Kings, Jr.. Here is a kid who excites me because he was pumped to come to MSU. He may not have had the star appeal that Harris has but I want kids who are genuinely excited to play at MSU. Not always, but a lot of times, those less hyped recruits end up doing better than higher rated guys.

Not sure why, but I'm really excited to see what Warner (and Bollman) experiment produces. I think it is going to make recruits change their minds--I hope any way.

Drake Harris reminds me of a young Titus Young.

This reminds me of Mike Hart's comments. Made UM fans and the blue wall cream their pants, incensed MSU fans, etc. Yeah, Hart was never an MSU commit, but Harris never was in his heart.

But the point is that Dantonio has a way of using these kinds of insults to motivate the team. Too bad he cant say anything in the media now. By the time he can publicly comment, the sting won't be as fresh. I'd expect a comment like, "Well, we just topped off our third 11 win season in four years, while his guys missed a bowl game, so who missed out on who?"

Dantonio has proven on and on again that he has done it with less talent. Let's see how this plays out. After our offense last year..it might have impacted his decision. Of all the schools that he is looking at though..MSU, Alabama, Florida and ND fit him the best. They all run prostyle offenses. I don't know what kind of offense Michigan runs and Ohio State runs a gimick spread offense that doesn't utilize Wide outs.

Just watched a Harris interview after his basketball game on channel 10.. The teaser was why did he said no to Coach D and MSU. The thing is, he didn't tell coach D, his high school football coach did. I wish Harris well but if I was that high school coach, I would have forced Harris to make that call himself .

And we wonder why high school stars are entitled. Because the adults enable them.

ND doesn't run a pro style offense. Florida ran a quasi-spread offense with Driskel and is still transitioning to a pro-style.

Buh bye Harris

Thinking about it a little more..he grew up an MSU basketball fan. He proabably loves Izzo and respects the heck out of our basketball program. He told Izzo about not wanting to play Basketball and opening up his commitment. So, I think once Basketball was off the table, he stuck with Football.
