I just read the msu board (shoot me). They think staee only offered now because they had an OL visiting this weekend (Farniok from south dakota) that apparently doesn't look like he will be choosing msu. They also recently (yesterday) offered a 3star OT currently committed to purdue. Forget his name. But sounds like whiffing on a lot of OL late. They don't seem too confident in flipping him. But the sister at msu and teammates would be their best shot. Don't shoot the messenger.

Will he still care when he realizes the next landmark is 15 minutes away? In hindsight, thats one of the worst things about their campus, you have to walk forever for the nearest thing, or pay for the bus. Michigan is better in this respect because your nearest class wont be more than 7 minutes away*, and the buses are free.

And lets not forget that Michigan's campus is waaaaay nicer.

I've spent time on both campuses. I agree Michigan's buildings are better on some parts of campus. But the landscaping is nicer at MSU. And MSU has an enclosed campus, so you get the feel of a college campus.

How much are the amenities in AA valued by recruits? The restaurants and coffee shops are better. Is that a big deal? EL has several good restaurants. Is it the museums? Plays? Concerts? How much do those mean to a football recruit? MSU has plenty of that stuff, and unless one is very discerning, you can't tell the difference.

For the typical athlete, what would be obviously more attractive about AA?

I guess I don't mind him looking around to be sure about his decision. If that cuts both ways, I have faith Harbaugh will hold the ones he wants and take from other programs more often than the opposite situation.

Come come now ladies, Its recruiting season and your going to have to share him for a little while with the other schools. He's probably tired of sitting on the sideline with his same ol' girlfriend he's been with almost a year while all of his friends go to various schools and get treated like stud royalty but he cant party cuz he got a girlfriend :( 

Unless you have heard something has happened, I wouldn't worry. He just wants to be treated like Elvis a little before he gets married to the school of his dreams. He knows the difference between slumming and first class. let him have a ittle fun.
