WTF is the problem so many people have with this commitment? I have several comments:
1. We don't know if this is a scholarship commitment or a walk-on commitment. If it's a walk-on commitment, who cares if he sucks (and I'm not saying that he will suck, just that it wouldn't matter if he did).
2. Mullen has a pretty damn good track record of judging offensive talent. If this is a scholarship commitment, I'd trust Mullen's judgement over anybody's on this message boards or any of the idiots running Scout, Rivals, etc. sites.
3. With his size (6'5", 225) and genes (dad was a pretty good player for MSU back in the day), I think he's got a chance to possibly contribute for us down the line. As someone pointed out, he did make 1st team All-State for all classifications, public and private. That doesn't necessarily make him a legitimate SEC recruit, but it's at least not as far out of the realm of possibility as some of you act like.
4. The Larry Templeton "good old boy" days are gone. Byrne hasn't done anything by the old "take care of our own at the expense of doing what's best for the program" rules that Templeton operated under. Why do you suddenly assume that this commitment falls under those old rules?</p>
