He is under investigation for a sex crime. That is why OSU pulled his offer.

He just lost his OSU offer, which is the only reason he is open, and that is a bad sign. Possibly due to academics(too bad, lets give it a shot). Possibly due to another reason(RUMOR, and ONLY A RUMOR: think Cole Corey, but worse).

His MSU offer? Can you confirm this, or are you just speculating?
Oh, and yes he was supposedly involved in an incident but is yet to be convicted. Many claim that he is actually a really good kid and this is an isolated incident. But with OSU's great depth at RB, Tressel didn't want to take a chance.
This is one of the few times I actually have inside info.If we kept up with the offer (I'm not sure if we did or not), there is a VERY good chance that he will be a spartan. FYI.

The plan was for him to take a visit or two and go elsewhere but a certain recruits father spilled the beans and pissed the staff off (and all but ruined DT from being able to save face and go elsewhere and not let people know is schollie was pulled). Before that recruits father did that he was supposed to visit MSU (and potentially verbal).

I edited my post, I meant OSU offer. No idea on MSU.

 He'd probably be our highest rated recruit since Roland Martin.

I'm still baffled as to why we can't land a decent LB, considering we only have 5 guys coming back next year......what gives?

The end to this recruiting class is just getting plain sad... even the Plan C and Plan D recruits don't want to commit. So who is this freaking orange? Money says it's Jude, and I could give two ******* about a Plan E recruit. This is THE most frustrating recruiting class I've ever followed.

Is this the first recruiting class you've ever followed? Sure do act like it.

You're like a broken record with this sky is falling ****.
I don't know why everyone is surprised that Youboty went elsewhere -- that's been a given for a while now.

Uh huh ok pot... I'm happy with this class, you moron, if you would actually read my posts you might understand that. However, I am not happy with the end of the recruiting period, Coach D seems to be missing on a lot of DE and LB recruits. Just because I'm not spewing optimism doesn't mean I'm wrong or that I'm an idiot. It would be nice if you could accept that it's okay for someone to have a different opinion than you, mmmkay?

Good news on Perry. Dantonio was at his football banquet dinner tonight. As was RR& some coaches and Randy Shannon as well. Good news that he was able to make it out there. Didn't let U of M only show their face there.

Read back through your posts from today and tell me they come across as someone who's "happy" with this class.
Again, if  was locking up guys like Burrell, Smith, Hoover, etc. in January vs. months ago, you'd be jumping for joy. You're a typical hot-or-cold drama queen who will be busting a nut if Perry or Ingram commit, yet in the meantime, you sound like you're ready to jump off a bridge every time guys who dropped off our radar for one reason or another anyway commit elsewhere.

Why I'm even wasting my time responding to someone who posts **** like this is beyond me.

listen I'm actually on banned users side. He has the right to be frustrated, heck im frustrated with the way the end of the recruiting period is happening. It doesn't mean we don't like this class because we do, but when we know that we missed out on a lot of top guys, that part is frustrating. Are we supposed to be ok with every top LB and even our plan B guys turning us down? I trust Dantonio with his evaluations very much, but I like Banned is frustrated that we have missed out on a lot of top guys weve offered. That being said I think this class is another great foundation to build off of and a lot of prospects that will turn out to be veryy good players with good coaching. But if we want to win the big 10, we need to land the Mark Ingrams and the Nick Perrys.
