Wasn’t he supposed to commit to a team today? Is he the one that rumored we already have his paperwork, but was going to wait until his Grandpa would be there when he commits?
Might be reading the tea leaves wrong but it sounds like somebody in the family didn’t like the decision but he’s graduated from MGCCC if I remember so he will end up somewhere in about 10-15 days
The lack of home state loyalty is surprising to me here lately. It goes in waves I guess, or it could be based on the recruiter, though I tend to think it's beyond that. Even the MS-born JUCO guys (at MS JUCOs) are leaving like Strong and Perkins. I guess it's good to have a national name like Leach at the helm right now during this disloyalty era. But it's really disheartening that we can't land the hometown JUCOs, which is generally our biggest advantage.I’m sure some form of a story will come out eventually. I don’t know the kid or anybody that does. If he goes to Oregon, why did he decommit unless he wanted attention. Maybe he was opening doors for a few extra deposits....
I don’t have the mind of a 20 year athlete. I’m an old soul who seems to be a few decades too late.

All fanbases do that, but yeah I agree, no idea why they do it. It doesn't matter though, plenty of trolls out there with fake accounts.The way our "fans" destroy current and former players on message boards and FB, I'm not surprised. I'll never understand why so many of our fans who are active on MBs/Social Media post disparaging things about our players. The player himself may not read it, but you can bet it gets back to him via parents, friends, relatives, girlfriends, etc.
Fair enough, but I've always thought that MSU had two distinct advantages:I don't get worked up over juco guys now that we have the transfer portal. There will be plenty of similar players in the portal, and we can wait and sign all the way up until May....The guys that want all of the Twitter love can either sign or don't....This is one of the few positives of the portal. Also, I don't think many of these guys think it through when they sign with an Oregon or Minnesota etc...The logistics of getting their families to and from games etc.. would be a real pain. Why not sign with a school within driving distance whether it's with us or not....

We put a ton of kids in the NFL lately, that excuse is no longer valid. Where have you been?Its all about playing in championship games and getting to the NFL. Easier to do thru Bama or LSU than State. Thats just a fact. The more kids we put in the league the better we will recruit and if we ever get competitive with Bama it will be even easier. Until then it's hard to blame the kids
