Danny O'Brien, a defensive tackle out of Flint, MI, is supposed to commit tomorrow to Tennessee, Michigan, or Michigan State. Rumor has it that it's actually down to MSU and Tennessee, with Tennessee the favorite to win his services. If the Spartans pull off the miracle and get him, let me assure that this would be one of their most exciting commitments. As I noted in an earlier post, adding O'Brien would get the Spartans one step closer to creating their own version of the Detroit Lions' defensive line. But until and unless he commits to the Spartans, I won't say anything more about him -- no use getting too fired up about something that may not happen. Let's at least keep our fingers crossed.
Update: O'Brien has committed to Tennessee. Oh well...
I agree about not getting too excited, but could you imagine a line that consists of players such as O'Brien, Pittman, Gholston and Rush? Now to get the Offensive line built up the same way.
ReplyDeleteWell, even without O'Brien, the Spartan d-line looks set for years to come. Plus, we have to remember that Dantonio and his scouts seem to have a great eye for talent. For example, Jerel Worthy was once considered only a 2-star recruit and now he's likely to be drafted in the first round of the NFL draft. Let's hope they keep finding those diamonds in the rough, not only on defense, but as you mention, on the o-line, as well.
