Interesting, the article states Iowa leads but I was a bit surprised by that. They are going to have a hard time pulling top kids with how easy it is for other B1G schools to negatively recruit them.

Given AIRBHG, I'm surprised ANY RB has Iowa in the lead for their services. I swear they must have their RBs work out on an old Native American burial ground or something . . .
Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

VIP article on Wisconsin 247 says a recruit is about to decommit, can't read it but I'm assuming it's Craig Evans.

One of Wisconsin's top commits plans to decommit

One of Wisconsins top rated commitments told Badger247 Sunday afternoon he plans to decommit and re-open his recruiting process when he hears from Head Coach Gary Andersen.

Makes it less likely they take both Trout and Richardson. Good news for MSU.

can someone explain to me why we keep recruiting a QB per year? It seems almost inevitable for at least one transfer, if not more...and the supposedly impending commitment of Henderson continues that...is he just that good? what about Terry? I thought he was supposed to be that good...except he's behind Maxwell, O'Connor, and Cook in theory....what gives?

We've actually gotten really lucky that our lack of QB depth hasn't bitten us. 2008, we had a redshirt frosh in Cousins as the backup. Then, this year a redshirt frosh in Cook. It's better to have too many QBs and have one transfer, IMO, than to end up with a walk on taking meaningful snaps. Having an NFL QB in Nick Foles getting run off our depth chart is a good thing.

In theory, yes. But you always want that depth. Look at our O line woes, or Iowa's RB situation. Or even our own QB situation in the bowl game against Alabama which was just one game of one season and we pretty much went down two QBs. You never know what's going to happen and that's the most important position on the field. In a weird way, it's almost a relief if they all pan out to be good and someone ends up transferring because you're always one play away from an injury that requires another important playmaker to take the field and lead your team.

QB is the most important position. You want more chances to hit on a good one and you want depth.
Maxwell's leash was too long this season and I think we just found that out for certain tonight.

Wait.... What? Terry hasn't even signed an LOI, let alone practice with the team.

Those players all have time (yearS) in the MSU system. It's kind of the default that he would be listed at the bottom of the depth chart as he hasn't even stepped foot on campus or looked at a playbook yet. He could surprise everyone and take the lead in the fall, but for now it's safe to assume he has the least experience with our team and running our offense. That's why it would be assumed, as you say, he is behind everyone else.

What are these dudes thinking???
Samuelson committed to Pitt and a couple days later switched to Nebbie now flips to scuM???
scuM has recruited like 11 guys in two classes back to back on the OL. All pretty highly rated and thinking they are getting early playing time.

IMO it is unlikely that MSU will receive a commit this week. But if it does happen, it will likely be tomorrow or tuesday at the earliest.
