I'd be happy with a class of Appling and Byrd. Both can score, Appling wants to play more point (and at 6'3 has good size for it) Byrd has awesome size for a SG, that would be an AWESOME class for MSU to pick up.

Not up on recruiting websites yet, just thought I'd let you guys know. Not sure when it will be anounced either. AA, feel free to merge, but I thought a seperate thread might catch everyone's eye.

Go State!

if wrong, you deserve to be banned.

I didn't speak directly to Keith, I will say that. So it is second hand info, i don't know if that's the right term or not. Credible source.

[Northcoast]

There is a ton of info out there suggesting Appling will be a spartan, today or in the near future. Only an attention whore would pass this off as his own and start a "Appling a spartan" thread to catch people's eye.

well theres something up on the state scout.com site that says big spartan news for basketball coming tomorrow....probably the Appling commit....thatd be tight, he looks solid

Yeah, you are right. There is nothing better than having my online persona get praise. It doesn't matter that nobody knows who I am, it is great having the "DrTre11" name get recognition. OMG, are you serious? Yeah, I crave online attention-whoa. If that were the case buddy, I'd probably use my real name don't ya think?

Difference is, I didn't go to rivals and see some fans post and figure he committed. I actually talked to a source. I guess you'd rather find out from rivals first.

BTW, if a kid commits....you're going to see rumblings on every forum. It always leaks. I didn't post this anywhere else, thought the tailgate guys deserved the first news. Thanks for being cool about it.

BTW, if you really need verification go back to the Caper news and do some research. I pm'd the news a week before there was any little tidbit about him committing on a national recruiting board. There was nothing more than threads discussing him as a recruit. Thought I backed myself then, I guess I'll have to keep proving.

The first news What a joke. I could care less who reports it first but a monkey could have figured this out and thrown it out there claiming done deal, inside info.

I could care less as well and the Caper situation proves it. I could have come on here and ran wild with it, but instead I pm'd the die hards here to share good news. If I wanted to put out recruiting news first and was attention starved as you put it, I would have gone into broadcasting, journalism, etc.

Exactly! I thought we were all on the same team. I'm ridiculously geeked about this year for both football and bball.

Dude, that would be just about the entire Spartan fanbase!
Thanks for passing the message on.
You can pm me in the future too.

This just in. Edwin Baker is a Spartan. Haven't heard it from Dantonio yet, but I have some solid sources. Please remember, I broke the news.

I'm not sure. You right. Still think its message board reading turned inside but who cares. Appling has been a spartan for a while and 2010 should be a great class

It's being reported as official by the admins at GSN now.

nice...anyone else ever think Game Show Network when GSN is posted?

[DrTre11]

What a great commitment, now we just need Byrd. Man, those would be a couple of nice guards in the backcourt. Gotta love having deadly shooters, just ask Team USA how important it can be.
