A little Appling blurb in the recent Byrd ('10 Recruit) Article.
MSU makes play for Indiana sharpshooter
Quote:
One particularly appealing aspect of the Spartans' recruiting pitch was their mention of their plans for the rest of the 2010 class.
"They said they had three scholarships for that 2010 class and wanted to make sure that he knew that he was one of the three," Mr. Byrd recalled. "They talked about the point guard. They need a point guard, a shooting guard and a big man. It sounded like they had already made some progress. They seemed pretty high on (Detroit Pershing guard Keith Appling) and they felt like he and Russell would make a pretty good pair in that 2010 class."
Appling's name resonated with Russell Byrd because of the importance he is placing the presence of a floor general that can deliver him the ball.
"I like run and gun (offenses)," Byrd said. "I also like point guards that know what I can do and just kind of kick it out when they want to, and know I will knock down shots for them."
