Where the hell are we supposed to meltdown about Drake?

    Good post JOD....its ridiculous how kids throw around commitments like they mean nothing. Good riddance.

    They are kids. What happens when kids want to switch to their commit and come here? Not allow them to? Early signing period for football, please.

  • This speaks to character or perhaps lack there of. Character and commitment are every bit as important, if not more so, than talent when building a winning football program.

  • The kid bought all the BS Hoke was telling him about us. Our coaches have to do a better job of recruiting, Harris was ours to lose and obviously MD and company didn't get the job done.

    Oh well, you move on.

    I seriously want to nut punch anybody who contacts a teenager they do not know over social media.

    I agree. Although I wouldnt be surprised if there were some walmarters out there who create twitter accounts and harass MSU recruits pretending to be MSU fans. They seriously have no lives.

  • AB will also be a JR when he's a Freshman. He doesn't seem like the kid who wants to play 2nd fiddle for 2 years.

  • Take it easy on the insults being tossed at this kid. He's just a kid. I fault his parents/coaches more for not explaining to him what the word commitment means.

    *yawn*

    There are plenty of WR recruits out there. Not like we were strapped for WR talent anyway.

    Would've hurt more if this was a 5star OL decommit.

    Short turn this doesn't hurt the team much, WR talent is fine right now. But long term, this hurts perceptions about our program. A highly ranked kid who grew up a fan wanted to check out "bigger football schools" and will likely attend one.

    Why should they stop the comments? He's obviously bailed on MSU with a flippant remark. He's old enough to be a twitter hero, he can take some anger directed his way

    Coach D needs to kill his scholarship offer out of principle. You don't commit here, post pictures of MSU with "home sweet home," and then start spending tons of time at scUM and sing their fight song.

    As I said before, Drake Harris does not know the meaning of commitment. If he doesn't know the meaning of the word commitment, he certainly isn't worthy to be a Spartan.

    I believe the term is "attention whore"

    Because its silly and classless to be anonymously throwing insults at a teenager. Grow up.

    If it was simply a matter of "Coach, I may have jumped the gun and I need to decommit and look at my options," then that would have been a different story. However, Harris remained committed to MSU but he was acting like he was a strong verbal to scUM. Singing Hail to the Victors as a MSU commit after the MSU/scUM game? Ridiculous.

    This is far more than your "run of the mill" situation where a recuit gets second thoughts and decides to decommit and reopen recruitment. Harris has been joined at the hip with scUM lately while still committed to MSU.

    The RCMB...is one of the most awful, alarming, inappropriate, disgusting, and offensive msg boards in the history of the internet.

  • I'm pretty sure scUM fans don't remember losing 5 games last season and 30 fucking games since Llyod left.

    At the end of the Drake needs to do what he feels like is in his own best interests. End of story. Move on.

  • Worst part of this is that it is starting look like Michigan picks who thy want, then OSU, then we get what's left. It is annoying because coach D is 10x the coach fat boy is.

    That said, I can't wait until our defense gets its first shot at this kid - likely when he finally sees the field three years from now. You blew it son. You would have been The Man immediately, now I'll likely never hear of your name again. Most importantly you could have been a Spartan Dawg and you blew it...

  • It sucks we have had de commitments the past 3 years. I want to make it out of a recruiting cycle without anybody changing their mind, especially someone who commits early on. That being said, it is what is and as long he does not go to scum idc what he does. I have accepted we recruit with the mindset of building a family and getting kids who want to be Spartans and if you do not want to be here then get the hell out. Ill take a clean, tight knit family over these show boat arrogant assholes any day.

    I don't disagree that UM recruits "better". By that I mean Tom lemming and the rivals staff (which employs josh helmholt lol) think they're prettier with an extra * next to their name. The problem for UM is that its never been about them when it comes to MSU having success, especially with scholarship limits. For MSU its about the coaching staff and AD/president/board of reps working as one. UM didn't recruit/offer an overwhelming majority of our teams that have beaten their ass. Hokes just continuing the tradition of fat, underachieving POS that negative recruit MSU. I bet Lloyd even passed down his little black book detailing every jaywalking incident in MSU athletic history b

  • Awful things end up happening to each kid who decommits from coach D. It's like final destination.
