Name all the names that didn't have many offers and ended up as nothings...yeah a few really good players I understand. I'm just saying that MSU being considered a great offer doesn't make sense to me.

Youtube highlights from last year.

They throw a lot of WR screens to him. Hard to judge too much because he is so much better than anyone else he is facing. Good hands, goes after the ball, and some good blocking shown.

May get too big to be a WR, and may move to TE or LB. Not a bad pick up if this is the guy. Good system player at Iowa.

And how do you know this kid would or will end up as nothing? Maybe he will maybe he won't but why not give the kid a chance to prove himself and not think because of the lack of offers he must not be very good and especially before he has even stepped foot on campus as a student.

Iowa and MSU go after a lot of the same players, and MSU gets a few that we would really like to have. MSU was close to having a good year last year if a few games change, and we were close to a 7-5 or 6-6 season, so a few things change and you might not be calling them a mid B10 team. You have to respect that offer and realize that cause the number don't jump out at you, who cares. KF and co know what they're doing and if they thought the kid deserved an offer, he did.

This guys screams LEO backer to me. Looks fluid, plays well in space, has nice size.

I already said I trust them I just said that I'd like to have a higher class guy. Would you rather have a super athlete or a kid that has a possibilty of having a future. Yes both could be awesome or bust, but the odds of the superior athlete being better are higher.

Cincy isn't the same team without Kelly and MSU is a mid level Big 10 school. Oregon is good. What etc? There aren't any other good ones...

The ISU in your name is showing. Dantonio is doing a great job at MSU. How do you know what Cincy is without Kelly? Jones hasn't coached a game yet. And how can you not be impressed with his offers and measurables? Rent a clue.
I hope this is true. Would be a terrific addition.

I think everyone would be excited to have higher rated recruits, but this kid is what Iowa wanted so they offered. You know we've had such great success recruiting highly rated WR thatI would pass on this guy just to see what could happen. yeah I'd love it if Arnett committed but that is a long shot, so get a kid you think will help you. Why say you don't want this kid
 
Re: Possible name of new commit?

Looks like a great prospect to me. Has the size and speed to give the coaching staff a lot of different options
 
Re: Possible name of new commit?

Great pick up if it is truly official. His tapes show that he has the ability to play multiple positions. I will be curious as to which position he will end up in...
 
Re: Possible name of new commit?

He would be a lot more productive statistically with a QB with a better arm. they run a lot of those screens I am guessing bcz the kid isn't so strong throwing it.

Yeah, MSU has not had any talent at WR for over 20 years or so......

Re: Possible name of new commit?

Interesting body type, seems like he's got lots of possibilities in terms of possition. It's been nice to see what a 6'4 reciever can get done in our offense (McNutt) but based on his current size I could certainly see him play other positions.

Actually based on his measurments only he reminds me a little of Chad Greenway. Both are tall (6-4) and rangy, weigh 220ish with the frame to add a bit more, and have solid speed.

I hate labeling anyone let alone kids who arent even on the team but he certainly looks to have potential.
 
Re: Possible name of new commit?

After looking at Duzey's film and stats, I was wondering why he wasn't even more pursued than he has been. Perhaps other teams felt he was MSU's to lose? Then I looked at his ESPN score- 73- and was even more confused. Perhaps they think he is in the wrong position? With his size and speed he would look awfully good as a coverage LB. Is his lateral speed and flexibility poor? It does seem perplexing that he isn't more recognized. Does anyone have any more definitive answers as to why he hasn't been?

Thanks,
UncleHawk

How do you know they aren't the same team since they have only played a bowl game against THEE Tim Tebow without him.

Going after recruits based on what kind of other offers they have is Zook type stuff. Going after character and good football players is Ferentz type stuff. I will take the Ferentz type stuff.

Welcome aboard if this is true. Height and speed at WR can never be a bad thing.
