Oh but we do have speedsters in the secondary, Trae Waynes, R J Williamson, kid from Canada forgot to spell his name, etc ..They need to be on the field more

The difference is that we actually do have bigger receivers and our offense has a competent quarterback.

Kerrick and Caesar are both 6'2+ and bigger bodied targets. Sims is the shortest of them at 5'9. Kings should be about 5'11 when he plays. Burbridge is about 6'1 as well and runs a 4'4. We have bigger bodied guys in there. Not to mention some great size at TE.

Tompkins is a RB btw....so him being short isn't really a big deal.

We looked pretty damn fast on defense this year. Our receivers have always been good route runners and just as of lately we have gotten a lot of really fast guys. I like the mix we've got size wise. Monty will fit in well.

Everyone has fast corners. You need that to stop the big plays. What makes defenses fast is the speed of the LBs and DEs and we have that in spades. Denicos Allen has run a 4.5, Chris Norman a 4.6, Lawrence Thomas a sub 4.6. Rush and Drone have great speed for DEs, and William Gholston is still running sideline to sideline at 280lbs, no idea what he still runs, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's still sub 4.7. There are guys on our front 7 who can beat most RBs to the edge every play, that's team speed and Dantonio and company are developing it consistently. Dantonio wants great athletes in his front 7.

What happened?

He's gotta be coming here. Where else would he go?? Come on down and be a part of something special, Monty. You're going to have a great shot to start day one!

Honestly, how much better would it look to have Arnett and Madaris in the two-deep next season than what we originally had thought??

I'm sure that post was just a response to Spartyfever's post about Madaris' interest level being high on rivals.

Norfleet is very small and not especially fast. I know he has some good things on his resume, but I can't help but think his lack of size and speed made him less desirable to our staff. I know it did to me. Not the same situation with Madaris.

Hey Dillon, thanks for dropping by.
Us true MSU people want Monty to make the decision that's best for him, whenever that may be. We hope that he chooses MSU, but it is completely acceptable if he doesn't.
Please ignore some of the posters who are mad at Monty or blaming him, they don't represent the MSU community.

Thanks!

Did the intentionally typed-out attempt at an "Appalachian" accent tip you off?

Good news, this kid is a great athlete. His numbers sure seem to me like better than a 3 Star. Sign him up, 6-2, 190 lb WRs who run a 4.4 and have a 33" vertical don't grow on trees.
