He gone?

They're certainly going to pick up one of these feature type LB's from the Midwest. Maybe Morgan, I don't know. I haven't heard much outta his camp recently. They offered both him and Garrett this week.

That's exactly right. There were rumblings that he was upset as well. His parents were expecting more face time with the coaches. Morgan said very complimentary things about MSU post visit but his dad ran us down. Could be a situation where he's a kid we really made a focus, spent a lot of time recruiting and explaining how important he is to the class and then he visited for a game when he had visitors approaching the 90 mark and he just didn't get the personal touch. We'll scrutinize the way the visits were set up for that game for years. I'm not so sure I believe much of the hype on the ticket thing. With 90 people coming and 88 of them figuring out how to get their tickets my bet is that someone didn't get all the way through the instructional packet sent out to visitors or something of that nature. That, is however, beside the point. It sounded like at least from his Dad's perspective, not enough personal attention from the coaches. Too many kids at one game.

Morgan has been able to make a few visits early in the recruiting process.
“We’ve gone to Notre Dame a couple times,” Thomas said. “We like them. We like Michigan State. We like Michigan but we don’t know how he feels about it. I got the chance to go to Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt is a big one on his list as well. He talks about and wants to go out to USC. We’re going to try and get down to the SEC and pop into Vanderbilt one more time and go see Florida, Florida State and I think Ole Miss.”
“I want to go see Florida, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and probably two more,” Nyles added. “I would say Michigan State, Vanderbilt and Ole Miss are the ones digging me right now and Notre Dame and also Florida.”
