Scout is reporting that MSU also gets a commit from OH DB Jermaine Edmondson today. He also had offers from Illinois, Nebraska, Purdue, Louisville, and the MAC.

I would have loved to see him in the winged helmet, damn. Only soy dogs and veggie burgers for you, Burbridge! Don't even look at the cheese either...

FWIW: Take it from a two time grad, MSU is a pretty good school with good people, but it definitely doesn't carry the weight of Michigan. Not even a contest. Living out of state for 8 years, you'd be surprised how many people would assume Michigan when I said Michigan State.  Outsiders who aren't into sports don't know Michigan State generally.  Michigan is all they know, everybody knows it, and it has real power. It is truly a global degree.

For the purposes of AB's committment, my point is pretty meaningless. It's a big choice for a kid, and he won't suffer by graduating with a Michigan State degree at all, except for the opportunity cost of it not being a Michigan degree. Plus they are in a good place program wise thanks to that dorky Dantonio.  Rest assured Michigan largely recruits itself. Over the long haul if Hoke keeps recruiting to this level, the program will win big if he and the staff  are even moderately competent as coaches

but still.  it seems with this many major recruits commiting early to various schools the dominos could fall on signing day

I can't post a new thread but I found this tweet from Allen Trieu interesting:

TrieuA 4-Star DT Ondre Pipkins says a decision MIGHT come soon if he's "feeling it." Visits #Michigan this weekend.
