Short Recruiting Note: Kenny Lawler

I've been hearing enough about Kenny Lawler, a wide receiver out of California, that I've decided to post something about him.  He was once committed to Arizona State, but they recently made a coaching change and he consequently decided to go back on the recruiting market.  According to Rivals, he has a top 2 of MSU and California, but something interesting is happening.  It looks like California may be full at wide receiver.  They have as many as 4 wide receivers committed, including one that they just picked up today.  That has to improve the Spartans' chances of landing Lawler, and that would not be a bad thing.  Take a look at some of his highlights:

This guy looks like a bigger version of Keyshawn Martin.  He's 6'3" and he plays with a lot of speed.  Boy, if Lawler were to commit to the Spartans, he and Nick Tompkins (running back recruit for 2012) and Aaron Burbridge would add a lot of speed to the Spartans.  Suddenly, Spartan nation may have to start chanting "pound, Green, pound...and fly, too, if you want."

Anyway, he hasn't committed yet, and Rivals could be wrong about his top two schools, or California may actually take 5 receivers.  So we'll have to wait and see.  But at least the Spartans look to be in a good situation with at least 2 excellent receivers: Lawler and Monty Madaris.

Update: 247 is reporting that Lawler has set a date for an official visit to MSU.  That is great, because this is one of the potential recruits I'm most excited about!
