Duffy Daugherty MSU Football Recruiting Forum"The Duff" is dedicated to Michigan State football recruiting discussion. Post responsibly and with respect for players, coaches, and families. Rumors and speculation should be clearly labeled as such.
Why is everybody so pessimistic and whining about MSU's "limited number" of 2009 scholarships ? Has anybody heard a statement or read a quote from Coach Dantonio saying that he has limited scholarships for 2009 ? Recruiting is a high stakes game and you don't want to let your competition know where you're at. MSU has 37 Seniors (25 4th year and 12 5th year) scheduled to graduate in 2009 ! I know not all of them are on scholarship but even if only 60% are on scholarship, that means 22 scholarships could become available for 2009. Plus MSU gained 3 scholarships from Connor Dixon and Nick Foles transferring and Abre Leggins leaving the team (one of which will go to Keith Nichol). Also 2 scholarships are in limbo (Jason Diehl and Clay Charles) because of injuries but both are Juniors in eligibility.
I think there will be some real surprises as this recruiting year unfolds !

KDC has another year of eligibility if he graduates on schedule. So I hope he does not "come off the books". Looks like 14 with Mike Bell, who I believe is a 5th year Senior.
