Or you could use html....uh....>p? Something like that.

With Gardner, Jackson, Mathis to name a few. If RR can put together a good class next year with all the talent in state he can silence all these na-sayers(spl?).

Played for Glenbrook South in Glenview, IL. And like most really good defensive players, he was a dickhead.
Good post,though. Point taken.

All of Bo's best players came from the state! A.C. was from Mich ... wait, what? He was from FLORIDA?
How "disrespectful" of Bo to lure great players from out of state. Totally tarnishes his reputation.

Charlie Rogers and Jerome Bettis, both from Michigan, both had outstanding college football careers, both went to non-Michigan. Only one of them did anything after college though.
One of them created plays as a pro, the other just procreated.

why, when i was your age, they had "fragels," which were raisin bagels deep fried with cinnamon. awesome and artery-clogging.
not sure what they have to do with recruiting, either, though. not following the discussion.

My parents used to take us to get fragels after church when I was a kid. Those things are indeed awesome (although as you point out they should really be served with Lipitor cream cheese). I haven't had one in years but I just did a search and found a listing for The Bagel Factory online so it must still be around. I'm going to have to go get one the next time I'm in town.
As far as this discussion goes, its not like RR is ceding the entire state. The Free Press had an article a few weeks ago about how RR is targeting Detroit in recruiting. Whether the kids come from Michigan or some other state is irrelevant as long as they are good. RR's first recruiting class was pretty good and this one should be pretty good as well. Developing players and winning games will go a lot further towards attracting top recruits than blanketing in-state players with scholarship offers.
To the point about MSU, if Dantonio benefits from Michigan going after fewer in-state recruits, good for them. I'd like to see Sparty get it together for the sake of the rivalry and the Big 10. If State pulls a few players that Michigan was targeting it probably has more to do with Dantonio being a good recruiter than RR being a bad one.
