'10 MI DE/TE William Gholston (Michigan State signee)

[Taosman]

Exactly...any school who tells him that will know they are lying. They may give him a week at LB but at 6'7 250, there is no way he will stay there. Interesting to see we aren't on the list but then again, I'm sure OSU has told him he isn't playing LB here.

Apparently.......not! :ohwell:

Now switched to DE....

Spartans move freshman William Gholston to defensive end | detnews.com | The Detroit News

From the article:

"He came up to me Thursday and poked me in the back there at Ford Field and said, 'Hey coach, I want to become a defensive end permanently,'" coach Mark Dantonio said. "I said, 'OK, how much do you weigh?' He said 260 and I said, 'All right, let's go.'"

At least William made the call unprevoked and not one of the coaches. Always kinda thought Will was in denial about where he would be playing at the next level back in HS. He ought to be a natural at DE.

Yeah, I didn't bother to read the article or I would have seen that. Good for him - word out of EL was that he wasn't really taking to LB so well. He's more naturally built for DE, anyway, and he should be pretty darn good there.

Eerily like Ted Hendricks. This kid could wreak havoc in the Big T(w)e[n](lve) over the next 4 years.

Detroit sports radio guys have been pretty excited about what they've heard regarding how Gholston has looked.

Davis, Barksdale...this list could go on and on...

Andy Miller falls into that category too.

Andy Miller falls into that category too.

That's true but I was more talking about guys that we missed on because we offered them at the position they "ended up playing" and not the position they "wanted to play".

Not as long as he didn't get a free tat as a bounty.

Wow. Dirty, dirty play. He certainly earned those penalties and should have been tossed, in my IMO.

 

[dragurd]

Good player but needs to learn to play under control.

 

[NFBuck]

That was a flat-out disgraceful performance.

That was a flat-out disgraceful performance.

Lets hop off our moral high horse, if you heard what Lewan (Who is a dirty player himself) said to him, you would have done the same thing. What he said has no place on the football field and totally classless, so before we act self-righteous, get the whole story first.
