I agree about Big Ten coaches picking up recruiting.
I think you meant Caper and Baker.  We've got a Elite 11 QB coming in, and Donald Spencer and Fred Smith are no slouches.
Great quote from Caper, and oh...he officially commited now according to Rivals.
"Oh man, Michigan State is putting together a good recruiting class," Caper said. "I think we should be pretty good with Edwin Baker, me, Chris Norman and the other guys. All we need to do is get a couple of great linemen to take care of us skill players. I think I need to start working on getting some offensive linemen for our team."

MSU recruiting: Touted running back commits to Spartans | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press
Quote:
Touted Battle Creek Central running back Larry Caper has committed to play for Michigan State in fall 2009, Rivals.com reported on Wednesday.
Caper, a 5-feet-11, 210-pound junior, rushed for 1,473 yards on 160 carries in 2007 and clocked a 4.41 time in the 40-yard dash. Rivals ranks him as the 64th-best junior prospect in the nation regardless of position.
Caper also had offers from Michigan, Iowa and Stanford, among others.
MSU has collected five verbal commitments for 2009, all from the state of Michigan. Detroit Renaissance linebacker Chris Norman committed in February, making him the first to choose MSU for 2009. Running back Edwin Baker (Oak Park), quarterback Andrew Maxwell (Midland) and wide receiver Donald Spencer (Ypsilanti) are the other three prospects MSU expects to have for 2009.

Mmm D'Antonio credibility as a recruiter just jumped several notches with these two horses being added to his '09 backfield.
Can he add Jackson and Sims?

With Caper and Baker that is two top 100 backs...Now if they can get some lineman to block for them and a QB with some WR's they will be on the right path...

He got a good WR last year in Fred Smith. He will be a beast. |

Another article about MSU's strong start from Detroit News. Ironic wording quoted ...

"For the sake of clarity, I want to let people know that I am honored to receive the offers I received, but when I committed to Michigan State, I committed to Michigan State," Norman told Scout.com on Feb. 27."

Sims is a definite possibility (he projects as TE, we need a TE, we're recruiting him the hardest), Jackson, probably not. |
