'10 OH OL Skyler Schofner (Michigan State Verbal)

I'm in the "we need more OL" camp though so I'd rather see Schofner with an offer already if he's next on the board and then have the "problem" of possibly ending up with one more OL than the coaches think is ideal. I guess the exception would be if the coaches think having another linemen committed may sway James' (or others) decision. Just thinking out loud...

With so many blue-chip recruits yet to make up their minds and the class being already tight.....may number around 20....that may cause the coaches to be a little hesitant. So far we have 13 commits....so it really comes down to figuring out the final decisions of the guys ahead of him such as Seantrel Henderson, Brandon Linder and Matt James before offering Schofner.

You basically just took what I said, regurgitated the main obvious part that everyone knows and left out my reflections on what I thought about it.

Not camping here didn't help Schofner's offer chances.

Spartans focused on final spots
BY MATT DORSEY

With 14 verbal commitments for the class of 2010, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio has the majority of scholarships slots filled. But there are still a few scholarship spots left and the coaching staff is eyeing a few key players for them.

An All-Ohio OL Class?
Michigan State already has two offensive line commitments for the class of 2010, but the staff would like to add a third before signing day in February. The top prospect on the board at offensive line may be Sunbury (Ohio) Big Walnut Skyler Schofner. The 6-foot-7, 290-pound Schofner is the No. 39 offensive tackle prospect in the nation, according to Rivals.com and has over 20 scholarship offers, including from MSU, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Boston College and Kentucky.

Schofner will be in East Lansing next weekend when the Spartans take on Penn State. It is an unofficial visit, but Schofner told SpatanMag.com that MSU is high on his list and he hopes to make a decision in the coming weeks.

If Schofner does become a Spartan, he will join fellow Ohioan offensive line recruits Travis Jackson (Columbus St. Francis DeSales) and Michael Dennis (Carey). Both Jackson and Dennis picked Michigan State over a host of offers from other Big Ten teams.

Spartans prepare for visitors
By MATT DORSEY

...
Big Walnut (Ohio) offensive lineman Skyler Schofner is also expected to be checking out the big game against Penn State. This will be Schofner's second trip to Michigan State and an official visit will likely follow in the next month. The Spartans are expected to sign only three offensive linemen for the class, so the 6-foot-6, 285-pound prospect could be the last piece of the puzzle. Schofner holds more than 20 scholarship offers in all, including ones from schools like Wisconsin, Purdue, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana.
