He's gotten us 2 inevitable 4-5*s in the class of 2016 -- including the MVP and most charismatic player on TeamUSA -- who has 3 more teammates ALREADY looking at us closely. That's fairly likely to turn into 5 or 6 commitments from some of the absolute best in the country. Say what you want about it being early, alot changing, etc -- but there is NO downside in this for us. It's nothing but good press.
Donald Gray 4*
The 2014 kid in Memphis...I forget his name
Irving-Sills high 3* with a huge offer sheet. Watch his film, he's underrated. Expect that commitment -- although I wouldn't be surprised if he put it off until after this upcoming weekend
Put us back in the game with 4/5* Jalen Ramsey
Got us in the game and has kept us there with 4/5* Elijah Daniel
Got 4/5* Toby Johnson coming next weekend -- who had all but written us off until we took Wilson off him and put Brew on him.
Has been the single factor keeping us in the game with Tony Conner.
Got 5* MacKensie and high 3* Mackenro Alexander coming to visit this weekend -- and I wouldn't be surprised if both committed this weekend.
He's our best current recruiter by a ways -- and he's only been on the job for 5 months -- plus he didn't have the name recognition to make an immediate splash in the manner that Deshea Townsend does. Every recruit that I've seen interviewed talk about how much they like him -- and he's got a handful of national guys looking at MSU that have NEVER looked our way before. It's not his fault that we lost position coaches at the 2 spots where he was REALLY on the national blue-chip guys...and that still may end up working out with the new hires. Let's see what he does with a full year under his belt in 2014 -- because if this has been any indication thusfar, it's going to blow people's minds...
