MSU leads for Kevin Williams
There's an article from Spartanmag.com up on Rivals talking about Springfield, OH, defensive tackle Kevin Williams. He visited MSU this weekend and his stepdad attended MSU. MSU leads for him right now.
I thought the following quote was interesting in reference to MSU:
"They definitely say my explosiveness off the ball and quick feet and quick hands. They say those are my greater attributes and that I could make a great contribution to the Michigan State Spartan football team," Williams shared. "And they pretty much told me they like the fact that I'm a good kid, because I don't get in trouble and I'm a good student, and they said that's the type of kid they like in the program."
Either the coaches are stressing that they want good kids or Spartan Mag is turning on the spin in the aftermath of the massacre. Either way...it's funny to me.

What they didn't tell him is that he's being recruited for the new Warden position at the Michigan State University Corrections Facility.

I think every school wants to recruit "good kids", ideally.
February 24th, 2010 at 12:28 PM ^
Actually, I would like it if the school was like, "We have a good relationship with the police, we have expert lawyers in tort and criminal law, and the student body understands that sometimes athletes need to blow off some steam after a tough loss. So by all means, if you have anger issues, drug problems, or just don't like class but you can run, jump, and catch a football, cometoMICHIGANSTATE!!!!!!!!111!!!

"I don't get in trouble and I'm a good student, and they said that's the type of kid they like in the program."
Really?? That's not what they told me.

Its probably not a great idea to get unbiased recruiting information from a sparty site. Go back and find what Kevin and his family had to say about his day at U of M.
February 24th, 2010 at 12:00 PM ^
...but then it will get better.
Douche-tonio will try to use this situation the way Izzo used the Ed Martin scandal to turn himself into a coach who is percieved to be a lot better than he really is. I would expect a downturn in recruiting until after the penalties are announced.
Luckily, though, UM won't have as many schollies to offer this year, and winning will help RR get a few more late commits. We may be scared for awhile, but I trust that the 2011 class will turn out fine. It's just having to put up with more Spartyshit that bothers me the most.

Holland Ohio, as in 3rd exit south of the Ohio / Michigan border off US-23.

Yeah, thanks for the correction. He's from Springfield High School, which is in Holland, OH. My mistake.

And if you're familiar with MAC football, the same high school that Eric Paige (freshman WR from UT) attended.
