Add Rippy, Ingram, DeAndre Jones, and Neiko Lipscomb to that wish list.

Compton will end up at Mizzou
Rippy is the de-commit from Nebraska that we should hope for

Robbub, what's the deal on Ingram? I'm confused. He's a verbal, I know that, but should we place any credence in the chatter that he's going to de-commit and go elsewhere?

everyone should read the rivals story on the kansas football program an how they developed talent (2* talent) into winners and high draft picks. These are kids with no other offers except Kansas offers.

I dont know where you got your info from, but Mark Ingram hasn't committed to State yet unless he committed over the weekend, and if he did then this board would be going nutts and you would know about it.

Ingram has *not* committed. You're likely confusing him with Ray.

Visitors for the PSU game??
Do we have a list or an idea of any recruits who will be visiting on senior day for the PSU game?? It should be interesting to see if and his staff can pull in some good recruits for the game considering The UM-OSU game will be going on down the road. If anyone has any names of players coming it would be appriceated

FTR I heard nearly all of our commits and a few other big time prospects were at the UM game.
If you think there is any game that we don't bring in at least several recruits, no matter how insignificant or significant they may be =

Mark Dantonio tells recruits not to come to football games, and if possible to avoid visiting MSU at allCalispartan

A story on SpartanMag stated that Stevens did not visit MSU for the UM game, and is still considering a visit. Surprising, as I swear their were people reporting what "he said" and how "he was really impressed with how loud it was."

Dantonio does in fact discourage kids from taking OFFICIAL visits during football game weekends as he feels that dec/jan visits are much more beneficial as the coaches can take a lot of individual time to get to know the players/families and vice versa. I believe he learned this at OSU. For unofficial visits, they are more than welcome. Building relationships between the coaches/current players and recruits/families is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more beneficial than just seeing a game day atmosphere and not spending much time with each other. That is how it is with this staff folks. I am sure it works a lot better than the JLS recruiting.
