MSU RECRUITING: VINCE ELLIS: Southeastern stars pumped about MSU

[Ocho Cinco]

This young man proved to be a believer and recruiter for MD.

He is a pretty special kid considering he comes from an environment where people mock MSU.

I hope he has an OUTSTANDING career at MSU.

I know he has been talking to Perry but who has he recruited to MSU? Norman?

[michiganstategogreen]

I like the fact he is listed as a basketball recruit as well! Izzo loves them football players!

Yea, well Fred and Burrell were most likely unable to get Perry, getting Fred Smith is going to help build those pipelines back up in detroit and the rest of Michigan a place that scum has owned for way to long.

Fred hopefully will be great in Green and White and can help us in the future in Detroit.

Odd given the apparently incorrect quote in Freep on Burrell...saying he went to MSU because UM didnt offer. What a pile Freep is.
