Spartans recruiting Ohio well
It has been a busy week on the recruiting front for Michigan State University. The Spartans picked up two impressive commitments, one for the class of 2009 and one for the class of 2010. One of the things that many expected to happen when Mark Dantonio was hired by Michigan State was that he would recruit the state of Ohio very well. That has definitely been the case the past two years, and the commitment of safety prospect Denicos Allen of Hamilton High School (Ohio) continues that trend. The 6-foot-0, 205-pound Allen selected the Spartans out of a total of 27 scholarship offers. His 3 finalists came down to Michigan State, Wisconsin and Illinois. Rivals.com rates Allen as a 3-star recruit and the No. 34 player in the nation at his position. Max Bullough, who attends Traverse City Saint Francis High School, gave Dantonio a commitment earlier this week. The 6-foot-3-220-pound prospect selected the Spartans over scholarship offers from Notre Dame, Iowa, UCLA and Stanford.

Warden, It will definitely be an interesting game this year, lil bro could throw a sucker punch and steal one. However MSU's strength is going up our strength, so it could be an interesting match up.
Nice pick ups, green. I always love seeing Ohio recruits leaving the state. Schools like Ohio State who are the only big school in their big state need competition.

Dantonio should do well there. I'm all for the conference getting better across the board.

Actually, Minnesota is much better this year, thanks to some JV players and decent frosh. Their QB is surprisingly doing well.
Well Warden, would you say the Michigan is in the top 3 of the Big 10 this year? I think not.

It wont be a sucker punch, State will run right at you 40+ times. meeeeeeechigaaan wont be able to stop him.
Toledo might STEAL one, MSU will win by 17.

It all depends which UM offense shows up. The defense should hold Ringer enough for a clicking UM offense. If the other offense shows up, I agree that MSU will win. Probably not by 17 though...

The Spartans appear more consistent than the past several years. The emergence of the rushing attack with Ringer has been the key. The defense has improved as well. 13th nationally in points allowed, and 36th nationally in total defense.

Michigan State still has to shake off the reputation of losing the close games and not crumbling at the end of the season....until then, same ol Michigan State!

Is that so? That has to be one of the dumbest comments I heard today.

The kids last name pretty much precluded him from going anywhere but MooU. The Bullough name is MooU.
