Haven't seen a single qoute with any favorable comments on um at all. This is not quite, but is approaching the listing of um as "warm" on Brian Allen's profile after he was basically qouted as saying the um coaches were full of shit. Anything to sell subscriptions I guess.

I think the only offer that potentially could delay a decision is OSU. He seems pretty zoned in on MSU and OSU.

This one could go on for awhile. QB's tend to committ fairly early and for the most part stick with their committments, but considering our biggest competition is Urban and our best connection is Narduzzi this one could stay interesting for awhile. I hate to think of it, but Narduzzi will get a HC job somewhere soon and Urban is a snake who will come after anybody whether they are committed to another school or not. This one could be far from done, IMO.

I believe you completely about Narduzzi selling the program, and I'm sure that's what he's doing. But if you think Narduzzi's presence at MSU isn't at least a small factor for Henderson and his family, then I think you're wrong. High school kids look towards schools based on a person here or there all the time. Sometimes kids follow their siblings, sometimes they follow their friends, sometimes they follow a coach. It's very obvious that getting Finley and Drake is helping us with Dawson. Finley and Drake haven't changed the foundation of the program yet, but their future presence at MSU is a clear factor in Dawson's consideration of us. I don't mean to get off topic, but that's just an example. I certainly don't think Narduzzi is telling him to hold on a committment or that he might be leaving, but it's a pretty well known possibility around the midwest and maybe even the country that Duzzi will be a HC somewhere soon.

I hope I'm wrong. But I don't think it's a factor we can completely ignore.

He won't be his immediate successor. Narduzzi should have legit HC offers before Dantonio retires. No reason for Narduzzi to wait around.

Were Narduzzi the QB coach or OC, and his exit was imminent, I could definitely see your point. Being that he's the DC, and he isn't the hottest name out there for an HC job right now (definitely a candidate, but not the bees knees like last year), I don't think it will be a big factor.

Kid needs the Red Carpet Treatment!

According to a discussion the other day on wolverine 247 we offered Deshone Kizer because we probably don't sit as well as we think with Henderson and they're experts so?
In all seriousness, I'd be happy with Kizer, Henderson, a reclassified O'connor, any one of those three guys would look great in the green and white. I honestly think it's 60/40 to the good Henderson commits this weekend or early next week following the visit. Just opinion. No facts.

Some guy on that site said that he thinks that MSU is going to have problems soon at QB and should just start throwing out offers to any QB who might be interested.

This digression is on me. Apologies.

There was a paid Rivals article about his visit after the game, Chris Vannini summarizes it in his "recruiting roundup"

2014 four-star Virginia quarterback Caleb Henderson visited for the Northwestern game and said he had a good time. The additions of Rutgers and Maryland would seem to help MSU a bit, as more Big Ten schools would be closer for his family to visit when MSU plays. His decision is believed to be coming somewhat soon.

Werent the coaches going to watch Henderson throw this weekend?
