Ohio will be key again for MSU
Posted: Feb. 27, 2010
By MATT DORSEY

Since being hired at Michigan State back in November of 2006, Mark Dantonio has made recruiting the state of Ohio a top priority.

Other coaches like John L. Smith and Nick Saban also recruited there, but Dantonio has taken it to another level. Nearly 30 percent of the players signed by Michigan State since Dantonio's arrival played their high school ball in Ohio. That percentage is higher than any other Big Ten school -- except for Ohio State, of course.

Michigan State has recently extended scholarships offers to several Ohio players they are prioritizing for the class of 2011.

Mark Givler, who covers recruiting for OhioVarsity.com, recently stated that the players that Dantonio has offered from the Buckeye State are "impressive" and he expects Michigan State to sign "another strong group from Ohio."

Here's a look at a few of his preseason top-ranked players that Michigan State is currently pursuing:

No. 7: OL Aundrey Walker of Cleveland Glenville High School

At 6-foot-5, 335-pounds, Walker is massive prospect that is known for his road-grading blocking ability. The Spartans were one of the first teams to offer Walker and he not only camped at Michigan State, but he also attended a Junior Day last month.

Trying to settle a friendly bet with a business associate who is a Columbus DeSales graduate. He tells me that Cardinal Mooney would have won the Division I state championship. I'm trying to find a recap of this Glenville-Mooney scrimmage. Most of the film I have seen shows Walker and the rest of the Glenville offensive line completely blowing up Mooney's defensive front. Was anybody at that game who can tell me if that was the tone of the entire day?

Was looking at ESPN article on Tressel's extension and someone had commented that, "they (OSU) are highly likely to get Aundrey Walker (6'6" 340) from Glenville, but that will not happen until early next year (Glenville guys always commit late to generate more traffic for their team mates)."

That sound institutionally correct to anybody here or just seem like conjecture? Not that there is anything wrong with that, sounds like a great idea and the fact those coaches are fighting for ALL of their kids to get looks is commendable.

Not just conjecture, that's absolutely spot on.

"Aundrey is so far ahead of the curve in his physical development that playing high school football is almost unfair."

"Aundrey has the tools to become one of the most dominant offensive linemen to ever come out of the state."

I've been reading by Duane Long that Walker is overrated and didn't look dominate in their big games, any reason for that, or is that just a personal opinion?

The above quotes were taken from LeCharles Bentley's analysis of Walker. Probably would have to ask Duane about his personal opinion about Walker...
