No TSUN

that one stings a bit even though it was a long shot

Would've been nice to see him in the S&G, for sure, but anytime there's a big-time recruit from the state of Michigan that doesn't enroll at scUM, I consider that a win.

Typical M$U!

 

[Jaxbuck]

Might be a blessing from the skies

Not a big shock, best of luck to him at MSU. Not picking tsun will typically make me root for a kid.

Not sure how Dobbs knows that's "a lie" fourteen months before his first college football game, but whatever....

Dobbs on Michigan:

“It felt like Michigan thought they were superior and the big boss to Michigan State. They thought, ‘You have an offer from Michigan, so you should be going to Michigan since you have the offer.’ It was as if they didn’t need to recruit me or better their relationship with me. That was the first thing they did wrong.

“When I went up there to talk to them, I felt uncomfortable because of the way they acted, talked and just were.”

“The last meeting I was in, I told them they acted like robots and I just wasn’t comfortable around them. I said it wasn’t a place I wanted to be.”

All in all, seems like a bullet dodged to me.

Sounds like a lot of other Sparty guys over the years. Carrying some strange chip on his shoulder for no apparent reason.

How is "you'll play a ton" lying?

Considering you can now play 4 games before redshirtinf and we lose 3 starters... you would've played a lot.

Not sure why he's running his mouth about us and scum though?

Bizarre. We’ve recently had an OL from his state put in the work and started as a freshman...I know he’s still a ‘kid’ but certainly not showing much respect or grace to a legendary coach. Immature and he’ll fit in well.

Agreed.
But no worries, OSU will be fine. Not too worried about another kid with a little brother complex

Dobbs on Michigan:

I feel like this should be the standard reaction to Harbaugh’s weirdness.

Also, the Michigan State pitch against Ohio State has seemingly shifted from “they’re not a family” to “they’re too good and you’re not good enough to play for them.”

If that’s a pitch you buy into more power to you.

Meh... I've got a rising junior who is going through a recruiting process. He's got a good head on his shoulders, yet at times... I still cringe thinking about some of the things that a 16 year old says -- and pray he doesn't say it to a coach.

I give Dobbs the benefit of the doubt that he didn't consider the new red shirt rule when thinking about what was being pitched. He'll be a very big fish in a medium pond. Also will likely be tossed to the wolves early in his career up there. My only thoughts on that are, if the guard next to you isn't worth a double, you can bet that the double will be coming your way... tighten up that chin strap kiddo.
