 Who is #1 for Dixon? $
Dixon received his first offer from Northwestern. MSU is his favorite. Would commit if offered.

What is the story on this kid?
You gotta like the idea of a 6'2" safety patrolling the field. That would also leave plenty of room to add muscle to the current 170 as well. Any idea on his speed, position ranking or the like?

I like our chances here. I see him and Benton as our DBs in Green when all in said and done. Especially Dixon with the Norman connection.

not if Benton commits.
I think Dixon winds up out of state because MSU won't offer him.
He's a solid prospect, I just think we land someone better

We could take both and offer Gordon a spot at WR.

benton hasn't been offered either. Dixon could also play WR and seeing as how we're about to lose a bunch might take three again.

I know schollies are tight but we should take 4 db's again. A lack of depth there has plagued us forever. plus there will be some attrition.

I've seen that this kid could potentially play WR, CB or S so even with Benton being the only safety there's still a good shot at CB.

Scout - Detroit Safety Excited after Ville Offer $
Plans to camp at MSU this summer. Will visit Louisville. Ron English likely involved. Says he isn't familiar with Louisville but they are high on his list.
