Shane Jones does not appear to be anywhere near his fighting weight

Sounds like Cassius Peat left Scottsdale CC to play for Pima CC, and has now left Pima CC.  So...yeah...

Hollis comes in as the #2 AD (behind Oklahoma's) in an SI survey of media members

https://www.si.com/college-football/2017/08/17/athletic-director-rankings-joe-castiglione-kevin-white


Jim Phillips of Northwestern is #7 and Gene White at OSU is tied for 10th.


Much less separation when polling fellow ADs.  Oklahoma still #1, and there by a wide margin.  Then a bunch clustered way behind.

Thiyo Lukusa, who quit MSU to go play JUCO basketball his changed his mind and enrolled at Arizona.

He wrote a thoughtful post saying that people tried to tell him he was making a mistake leaving MSU, and now he realizes he did.  But that he could double down and fail to admit it was a mistake, or he could make the best of it and go get his college degree and make a better life for himself.

Takes a lot for a 19 year old to admit that, and I wish him the best during his next 3 years of excessive practicing.   ;)

The more I read, the more I think the interior defensive line is going to be more than ok.


The fact that converted LB Brandon Randle (who seems way undersized) is getting the most hype as edge rusher makes me think that area is going to be every bit as concerning as feared.

MSU adds a late walk on in WR Andre Welch.

Ran a 4.39 at the MI all star game, which was the fastest among participants.  And was also the state long jump champ.

So clearly as an athlete, he's got it.  Makes you wonder where he is as a player that even one of the directional MI schools didn't offer.  Although he's running track too, so maybe that was part of it, that he's a Big Ten caliber track athlete, and is betting on himself to earn a scholarship.

Still as walk ons go, you could do worse than a state long jump champ with sub 4.4 speed.

A.J. Arcuri, who was in the two deep on the OL, and remains the only likely contributor out with an injury expects to be able to play in mid-October.

PFF rated Josiah Scott as the #6 freshman in the nation for Week 2, after rating him #1 for Week 1.

After a couple years of subpar CB play, looks like we found a player back there again.

Josh Butler has looked plenty good as a #2 also.

Safety play got a lot better from Week 1 to Week 2, which gives me hope that secondary can overachieve across the board, although the safeties have a ways to go before I feel totally comfortable.

North Texas is none too happy that Nike two years ago, and now ESPN have used the phrase "mean green" relating to MSU promos

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2017/10/03/north-texas-mean-green-nickname-use/730380001/

As an MSU fan, I would be more than happy to never be referred to as that again

I'll stick this is last year's because they haven't been on the team since before they were charged, but rape charges against Corley, King and Vance were dropped, all three will plea guilty to seduction, yes, seduction of an unmarried woman, which will include no up front jail time, but is a felony, frequently used in these plea deals in Michigan.  The woman approved the plea deals.
