To say Michigan State had a rough year in football is an
understatement. Thankfully the season came to an end last week (sense were not
even bowl eligible). We ended our season getting blown out by Penn State 45-12.
I didn’t even bother watching the game because I didn’t want my eyes to bleed
again like previous weeks. I’m just thankful that Tyler O’Connor is leaving us
after this season. We still have quarterback issues to figure out, mainly to
see who the starter is going to be. Lewerke was a freshman QB that played here
and there, with spirts of playing fantastic. But, he broke his collarbone
towards the end of the season and has to work on getting that back to 100%.
Terry on the other hand is a sophomore, that usually just plays when we are
optioning the ball. And our 3rd on Deweaver is a true freshman that
only played a few snaps with little experience. On the plus side though
Michigan State has rumors going out that they are interested in getting Notre
Dame quarterback, Malik Zaire. It’s been a long season for Michigan State on
the gridiron, but the recruiting is set to heat up over the next couple of
months. Michigan State recruiting hasn’t taken a hit like it did last year
around this time, which has been a major positive for Mark Dantonio. Even with
a 3-8 season in progress, the Spartans have managed to keep all of their
commitments and that’s a major plus. Michigan State has created a family
atmosphere even during the rough times, and that’s attractive for recruits.
Plus, these kids have known Michigan State to be a successful program over the
past decade anyways. There is still room for 5-7 more commits in the 2017 class
and here are five realistic must-have prospects remaining. There are others who
are considering MSU, but realistically will go elsewhere who weren’t included
on the list. Tyler Johnson, 4-star TE/DL, Jaylin Harris, 4-star WR, Lynn
Bowden, 4 star, Deron Irving-Bey, 4 star DE, Thayer Munford 4 Star OT, KJ
Hamler 4 star WR, and finally Ambry Thomas, 4 star CB. Hopefully with these
recruits it can put a pep in MSU’s step and have a fighting chance next year.
