Sounds like 3* CB Sean Brown is flipping to MSU from Arizona.  Has offers from every Pac 12 school except USC and Oregon, but no P5 offers, other than MSU, from outside the conference.

But he's teammates/best friends with a very interesting RB, who is similarly ranked, very undersized (5'8"), but arguably the fastest RB in the class.  He has a similar offer sheet, but is apparently KSU's #1 back on their board.  So, much like taking a commit from an underrated big ugly with a Wisconsin offer.  I'll take an undersized 3* RB who is a Kansas State priority

sounds like the Illinois DC taking the Purdue head coach job has helped Michigan in 'crootin' a pair of '23 kids from the state of Illinois- 4* CB Jyaire Hill and 3* DL Trey Price- who BERT has been in neck and neck battles with Harbaugh over. The krystal ballz for both those kids have been rolling in for Michigan now.

Florida just lost an in-state 4* DT rated in the top 100 players overall in the nation to UCF. Yikes.

nope. but Malachi Coleman, who is from Nebraska and I believe was Nebraska's highest rated commit before he opened things back up was suppose to go to Michigan this week for a visit and looked like he might jump in Harbaugh's class, only for at the last second to change plans and visit Coach Prime in Boulder. Sounds like Michigan ain't even 'crootin him anymore over that and Deion might take the top ranked kid from Nebraska. Coleman is one of the highest rated kids the state of Nebraska has produced in a very long time.

Nebraska should've hired Deion.

Nebraska should've hired Deion for recruiting

I'm still not sold on his head coaching abilities.
He could be a great one, but there's no evidence of that at this point

there's plenty of evidence that Neon can recruit

but, as I said, having a great recruiter within 500 miles of Lincoln is not good

is his domination at that Trinity HS in TX when he was a HS football coach and his domination at lower CFB levels at Jackson State not proof he can at least head coach a little bit?

Head coaching is 99% hiring top notch assistants and 'crootin. Deion seems to be really good at both those things.

I'd bet Deion wins quicker and wins more at Colorado than Rhule does at Nebraska. Pac is a joke. B1G is tougher than Pac and Pac is about to get weaker while B1G gets tougher with USC & UCLA joining in '24.

yup, Neon has a little bit of head coaching experience

more than Mickey Joseph

not as much as Rhule

we shall see, time will tell.

Neon's path to x number of wins will be much easier in the PAC

and when he accomplishes the X number he will be gone to a real conference - not sure how much he will enjoy Boulder

yep. B1G is going to be tough sledding '24 and beyond. Fickell will make Wiscosnin better quickly, I think. Michigan & Ohio State aren't going anywhere anytime soon as long as they've got Harbaugh & Day leading those programs. Penn State looks like it might have a bright future going forward with the 5* QB Drew Allar and 5* RB Nick Singleton being true JRs in '24. USC and UCLA going to be in the conference in '24. Rhule is going to have run a gauntlet meanwhile Coach Prime will have easy sledding. 

Deion is going to wind up at Florida State or in the SEC within the next 3-4 years imo.

Or both maybe, unless the B1G can snag FSU (and Miami).
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

MSU adds 3* RB Jaelin Barbarin, who also had offers from KSU, UCLA, WSU and Cal.

Extremely undersized, but might be the fastest P5 commit in the class.  We'll see if he can survive.  Same HS 100 dash time as DK Metcalf.  EXTREMELY different bodies.

5* ATH Nyckoles Harbor from DC might be even faster. And he’s 6’5, 230. Runs 10.2’s in the 100m. Seems set on playing offense but man I say put 25-30 on and become a terrifying defense edge rusher.
