| 1 day 19 hours ago | Fans of every other school |
Fans of every other school can (and do) say the same, and there's a valid reason for it. As more talent gets discovered during the recruiting cycle, kids get added to the top 100/150/whatever list, and as a consequence, all others below them move down. |

My point was that a player starting for Michigan would garner more national exposure than if that very same player were starting for Michigan state. You disagree. I get it. |

^guy who doesn't understand the meaning of the phrase "all other things being equal". No sweat. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. |

there are exceptions to every rule. but the fact of the matter is that good players at national programs tend to get more national exposure, while good players at smaller schools fall into obscurity much more easily. all other things being equal, a player at a bigger program has better odds of being drafted higher than he would if he were at a smaller program. once you've watched the nfl draft as long as many of us here have, you'll begin to realize this. |

It's odd that a kid with an offer sheet like this would consider wasting his career away at a school like michigan state. if he turns out to be nfl-caliber, msu's lack of a national brand will bump him down at least one draft round (and probably more) compared to where he would get drafted if he played for Michigan. The best example of this is Jonas Mouton and Greg Jones. Both had similar size and similar skills, and they played against the same competition. Mouton was an above-average linebacker for sure, but Jones won B10 player of the year. And yet Mouton got drafted in round 2, while Jones fell all the way to round 6. Just shows what the power of the block M can do for you, and what MSU's brand cannot. |

The guy is a ball carrier. Not a WR. It's sad to think the Jaguars are going to waste a season or two of his career before they figure this out. |

Oh believe me, they were still saying Parker or nothing even after Kearny tranferred to explain why they had no recruits so late in the game. They claimed they wouldn't take any commits this year after Parker burned them. Now they have 2. |

But how much of that success was due to high tourney seeding as a result of there being less competition in the big ten than there is now? |

This. If we got credit for every recruit we "almost" landed, we'd have the #1 class every year. |

Ah yes, the sparty "we only have 1 scholarship to give and it has Parker's name on it" line, which is particularly interesting in light of the fact that they now have two commits. |

I wonder if the value to Denard from this can be quantified. Aside from any money he's paid directly, it raises his profile and makes him more valuable for endorsement deals and such. |

Cleary is better than Sheridan/Threet. That means we have at least 3 wins in the bag! |

It doesn't bother you if one of our players is being slandered by a shitty journalist with an agenda against our program? |

Off topic, I'm assuming this Ace Williams/Terry Richardson thing has been posted and deleted, since the info is 7 hours old and I don't see it being discussed anywhere. Can someone confirm? |

seriously? i would have thought that something CNN has been airing over and over for the past hour would have passed the censorship test. |

Here's some Derrick Walton film for you guys. Hopefully it will instill confidence in you regarding the post-Trey era of Michigan basketball. |
| 5 weeks 2 days ago | Another classic: Is anybody |
Another classic: Is anybody else getting the feeling that maybe the school down the road is not playing within the rules? Coming off their worse run in decades, they bring in their 3rd or 4th choice for HC and he ends up being the elusive "elephant hunter". I know they have a great brand, but they are beating the elite in cfb, as well as other known cheating schools for recruits left and right. DH grew up a State fan and could go anywhere, but chooses our rival, right after a visit to tOSU? Was he looking for a counter offer? What I do know is that school and fanbase derive their whole identity from the perception that they are a football power, how far would they go to keep that in tact. To compete with the best year in and out (cheating SEC schools, tOSU, USC) you have to get a little dirty. http://michiganstate.247sports.com/Board/93/Is-anybody-else-getting-the-... Oh yes, who would commit to a program with top knotch facilities, top knotch coaches, top knotch academics, a ton of national TV exposure, the greatest rivalry game in the sport, and 114,000 fans watching you every Saturday? |
