Still Excited About Recruiting

Quick word on losing out on Dareian Watkins.  Folks, there is no doubt his commitment to Northwestern was a major blow.  Watkins is the kind of talent MSU needs at receiver, and unfortunately, it doesn't look like the coaches are having much luck with other top-end receivers. Hopefully, the coaches will be able to pull in at least 2 quality guys as we get closer to signing day.

But despite the Watkins loss, I'm still pretty excited about recruiting because the Spartans are still in good shape with some outstanding recruits, including: Lamar Dawson (CB), Lawrence Marshall (DE), Matt Sokol (TE), Gerald Owens (RB), and Chris James (RB).  Folks, each of these guys is a legit talent.  All of them have exciting video, where they display the kind of abilities the MSU coaching staff consistently molds into NFL talent.

Of course, these guys could still end up committing elsewhere, so we need to make sure we don't get too excited. On the other hand, losing out on Watkins shouldn't get us too down.
