Obviously you haven't seen him. Watch his highlights. He is crazy good. And apparently built like a Mac truck

I don't know for sure but it sounds very important.

I hope we're still in the running after this weekend. He's going to be a beast.

Do any of you guys know, can you get access to the Bunker with the monthly subscription to rivals, or just the yearly one?

It seems REALLY obvious to me that Lorenzo White Jr. wanted to be a Spartan, but we didn't have room, so why not try to convince him to go to some JUCO school?

MSU should take him anyway he is a legacy.

$10 a month or a $100 per year.

So the one for 8.85 /mo. where you don't have to buy for the whole year...You can't get Bunker access with that then? That's how I read it, but it's a little unclear to me if that's right.

Any subscription gives you bunker access (except for SpartanMag Plus, or SpartanMag print)

What's the difference between them? Does SpartanMAg Plus come with free Jim Comp back rubs? or "Comp'd" backrubs, if you will.

The magazine is very detailed, not really sure how often it comes out. Probably once a month. I am not sure whats on the Plus. I dont buy either of those but IIRC they are only a few dollars extra.

Plus is an email subscription.

You think Dennis Erickson's ice-breaker is going to be, "So, cold up there in Michigan?" as Ingram gets off the plane?

[barberb6]

Do we know if Trawick actually went on his trip? There were talks that he wasn't actually going to go to Louisville, is there any info on that?

Well, at least Iowa doesn't have an advantage over us in that department. It isn't supposed to be above 8 here the next five days.

Hell, 60'd feel like about 100 here right now. I feel like I live in Antarctica.

I know it's been talked about but I read this about Ingram and Perry at the game. Gotta say it sounds good for MSU. Check it out.

Looking at Last Night’s Recruits at the Breslin

By Jamal Spencer
The world of recruiting can be a tricky place. Far too often recruits will tell people what they want to hear or lead people along just so they can enjoy their 15 minutes of fame during the process. I’ve experienced this myself. I interviewed two of the better high school football players in the state and both of them told me how much they really like MSU and the coaching staff and how high MSU is on their list and blah blah blah. What happened? One committed to Michigan and the other to Nebraska, then he de-committed and chose Notre Dame. So I take recruits words with a grain of salt until I see their name on the dotted line. And then there’s Mark Ingram Jr. and Nick Perry.
Last night at the Breslin Mark Dantonio and his staff hosted a handful of recruits and their families. Two of those recruits were Nick Perry and Mark Ingram Jr. Although I didn’t get the chance to interview them, I spent time observing them both to see if they were enjoying themselves. The Izzone at one point actually started chanting Ingram’s name and you could tell he loved that. Nick was really into the game though; especially Marquise Gray’s monster jams. Just watching the two mingle with their hosts and laugh at the creativity of the Izzone made me wonder what the 2008 Spartans would look like with them on the field. The interesting thing though is how Nick was nodding his head during the game like he was saying to himself “Yeah, I could see myself going here,” and his demeanor was the same. He just looked genuinely interested in MSU, and when I asked to interview him after the game he had a smile like he was ready and willing but his party had to move on to another area so he had to go too. But you could see how much fun he was having and how interested he was.
As much as I want to, I’m not going to go out on a limb and say Nick Perry and Mark Ingram, Jr. are coming to Michigan State. I’ve done that before with recruits and it didn’t bode well for me OR MSU. But I must say at this point it sure looks good. And if MSU can compete with the likes of USC and Florida for recruits then progress is already being made. Here’s hoping both players end up in the green and white, boosting an already decent recruiting class for Mark Dantonio and his staff.

No way to really know until the weekend is over.
