Ya Boy 2012-13

DISTRICT DOG · Aug 7, 2012

"Ya Boy": Chris Smith - Sr. WR who finally has QB who can get him the ball where he wants it. Offensive MVP: Russell- Breakout year for Russell, he will take a few bumps and get knocked on his *** a few times, but it will help him grow and get tougher. Defensive MVP: Nickoe - The baddest dude on the field. Offensive Breakout Player: Joe Morrow - Should stretch the field and be one of TR's favorite targets Defensive Breakout Player: Quay- After the Spring Game I was sold Freshman of the Year: Joe Morrow - He will shine this year.

Beretta.sixpack · Aug 7, 2012

MY boy: Nick Griffin.....I have always lliked that guy....injury killed him....I still say he could go down as greatest RB at MSU ever.....I have receded my feelings on that here recently after watching, reading and seeing pictures of Josh Robinson.....Ill tell you what guys, our core of RBs look like bodybuilders.....all of them....

Off MVP: Russell......close pick to be my boy, but the guy is a pure passer, and is in his 4th year under Mullen. Dude is going to put up stats that will break records. It wont be hard to break passing records at MSU, but Russell will shine IMO.

Def MVP: Josh Boyd.......One thing that sticks out to me last year, is that Fletcher Cox did not become the beast he is until mid season. I remember reading an interview on him and someone asking what he had done differently 'lately'...he said nothing more than watching more film on his upcoming opponent and learning tendencies....that simple....I think Boyd wants that 1st round money and limelight that Cox got. He has his head on this year. All or nothing. He has been quiet all spring and summer. He is focused. I think JBanks may get the overhyped bug. Nickoe's gonna be good, but he will have to get the rust off him.

Off Breakout: Josh Robinson.....I still can't get over his recruitment....flew under the radar with all that Louisiana talent....dude is so damn fast and can cut on a dime, and back to what I said earlier about our RBs, his body is pure muscle.....he is a gym rat....

Def Breakout: Darious Slay/Deontae Skinner......as stated above, Im not sure if these guys qualify as 'breakouts'.....but i guess i put them in the category because they are not getting the most attention of their position (Lawrence LB, Broomfield and Banks in the secondary).....Skinner is one big dude who can move and and Slay is fast and has great eyes...and is getting overshadowed by the all the other guys bringing the pipe in the secondary.....One of these 2 guys could easily be Def MVP

Frosh of Year: Josh Robinson......he could very well be the back who receives the most touches by the end of the year.....and he is only a RFr....

Wooly thread of the year......now that I have thought about it entirely, our Def could be something really, really special....

Irondawg · Aug 7, 2012

"Ya Boy":N. Whitley - just love watching him play
Offensive MVP: B. Clausell - I'm going out on a limb here. We'll struggle on offense without him playing well so if he turns a corner it's key for our offense
Defensive MVP: J. Banks - dude makes plays
Offensive Breakout Player: J. Morrow
Defensive Breakout Player: D. Arrington

no wonder we disagree- you dont know what the hell breaking out is....

CadaverDawg · Aug 7, 2012

Lawrence had what, 120? Im saying Skinner goes from 69 to around 110.....so yea dumbass, I would say doubling your tackles is breaking out this year. If you dont think so then maybe You dont know a breakout year. ****, this is a dumb argument. Would you not agree that if Skinner goes from 5th with 69 to 2nd with 110 its not a break out? Damn, who cares anyway

you will be at 5,000 posts and coach will have 28k.

I will have to agree with Coach though; he produced last year, big things are expected this year, thus no break out.

If that happened would I be considered a "breakout" poster? Or were y'all expecting big things from me this year?***

Boomerdog15 · Aug 7, 2012

"Ya Boy": Nickoe Whitley - Been my boy since his freshman year, I love the way he hits and makes great plays when the ball is in the air. Offensive MVP: Tyler Russell - His time, he should put up big numbers. Defensive MVP: Cam Lawrence - Makes all of the defensive calls, gets everyone in the right position and leads the team in tackles. Offensive Breakout Player:
Joe Morrow - Will be big for us in the red zone, especially with Malcom Johnson missing time. Defensive Breakout Player: Autry - Finally have the pressure off the edge we have been missing. Freshman of the Year: BenardrickMcKinney- He will anchor the middle and cause problems with his size.

You still haven't grasped the idea of breaking out have you...

AssEndDawg · Aug 7, 2012

"Ya
Boy": Tyler Russell, I usually don't go with the QB but I think if he can stay healthy this will be an amazing year for Tyler. He took his time and developed and now he has the receiving corps to do some good stuff. Let's just hope the O-line can give him a few seconds to throw and keep him alive all year.
 Offensive MVP: LaDarius Perkins, I know it's odd to pick someone other than "Ya Boy" but I think Perk is going to have a monster year. Defensive
MVP: Johnathan Banks, monster year for Banks as he plays his way into a high NFL Draft pick. Offensive Breakout Player: Joe Morrow, I think he is going to get a lot of playing time because he is the size Dan wants. He doesn't throw young guys in the fire often but this is the exception. Defensive Breakout Player: Denico Autry, at least he better be because if not it's going to be a long year. Freshman of the Year: Joe Morrow, gets more playing time than any other Freshman in Dan's tenure.

He will break every single season MSU passing record in the books. He might break some career marks. Our passing game has been that bad. Offensive MVP: Blaine Clausell. If Russell is going to be "my boy" then Clausell is going to keep him upright all season. I think he gets the job done. Defensive MVP: Darius Slay co MVP J Banks. I think Slay will look better because teams will throw away from Banks. Offensive Breakout Player: Joe Morrow - if Clausell is the MVP and Russell is "my boy" then Morrow will be the breakout player as the recipient of those passes Defensive Breakout Player:
Bernardrick McKinney- he is a monster. Freshman of the Year:Bernardrick McKinney</div>

J-Dawg · Aug 7, 2012

"Ya Boy": Nickoe "The Hammer" Whitley. Pretty self-explanatory. Also, our secondary is depending on him to round it out.
 Offensive MVP: Tyler Russell - We lean on him hard this year and he finally comes into his own. Ready to see him perform.
 Defensive MVP: Our bell-cow Jon Banks. If we had a team full of Jon Banks', we'd be contenders every year. Great player and great ambassador for us.
 Offensive Breakout Player: Nick Griffin. Proves to be a dependable between the tackles type to compliment Perkins.
 Defensive Breakout Player: Denico Autry. Ready to see him become an every down end. Ready to see the hype. Also hope Deonte Skinner continues his streak.
 Freshman of the Year: Too close to call... I have a 3-way tie. Josh Robinson/Joe Morrow/Benardrick McKinney. I think all three will be significant players this year.

And for a little hometown homerism.... the Pride of Bovina: Reed Gordon..... Special teams extraordinaire.

"Ya Boy": Nickoe Whitley - hope to see some monster hits Offensive MVP: Gabe Jackson - need him to anchor O-line Defensive MVP: Lawrence - should be vocal leader for d Offensive Breakout Player: Jameon Lewis - get him the ball in space Defensive Breakout Player: McKinney Freshman of the Year: Joe Morrow - reppin the 228

Freshman of the Year: Richie Brown- assuming Dan doesn't redshirt him, kind of hope he does for sake of the future but I think it will be too tough to keep him off the field. If Richie is redshirted: Quay Evans.

mcdawg22 · Aug 7, 2012

Ya Boy-TyChris Russith I'm ready for the Queen City Connection to put up big numbers. I have a lot of respect for Russell a highly touted QB that picked State and sat patiently for three years.
O MVP-Tobias Smiths Knees. Could be a three game swing depending if they hold up.
D MVP-Cam Lawrence as a leader he's got to make sure the new D-Line are in the right spot.
O Breakout- Chad Bumphis......PLEASE!!
D Breakout- Autry- Just have a feeling he's going to have a Big year.
Freshman of the year- Quay Evans Just to piss Indy off.

Todd4State · Aug 7, 2012

Ya boy- Cam Lawrence. Because he kicks ***.
Offensive MVP- Tyler Russell. If he's healthy, he sets some school records.
Defensive MVP- Josh Boyd. It all starts up front. He can stop the run, and if he can put some pressure on the QB- Slay, Banks, and Broomfield are going to have some fun.
Offensive Breakout Player- Chris Smith. I think he becomes Tyler's go to guy.
Defensive Breakout Player- Darius Slay.
Freshman of the Year- Josh Robinson.

"Ya Boy": Darius Slay-ridiculous athleticism <div>Offensive MVP: Russell. We'll spread the ball around too much for one skill guy to grab this spot. Defensive MVP: Banks. He's the emotional and tactical leader of the defense. Lawrence is probably second from a leadership standpoint. Offensive Breakout Player: Josh Robinson. He will make some explosive plays. Morrow is right behind him in my mind. Defensive Breakout Player: Darius Slay. Teams will avoid Banks and give him plenty of opportunities to go off. Freshman of the Year: Morrow. He fills the biggest void we have.</div>

NorCalDawg · Aug 7, 2012

"Ya Boy": Nikoe Whitley (Deontae Skinner close second - BTW, how cool is it to have a LB named Skinner? It's a very football appropriate name the same way Butkus, Spikes, or Jammer is) Offensive MVP: Tyler Russell (I believe our O-line and receivers are up to the task - the power of positive thinking)<div>Defensive MVP: Johnthan Banks (1st round pick to make it 3 years in a row!) Offensive Breakout Player: Nick Griffin (...but, really we need someone like a Chris Smith or a Robert Johnson to be a breakout player) Defensive Breakout Player: Darius Slay (looking for Autry or Eulls to breakout too, though) Freshman of the Year: Josh Robinson (tough choice here: for me it's a toss up between Robinson, Morrow, McKinney, and Quay)<div>
