Recruiting Class -

The pundits are saying MSU has one of its better football recruiting classes in recent years. Not great, but good, and the third good class in a row from MD.

But, the ES misses the days when you didn' t know who was new to your team until they suited up in the fall. And, having press conferences to announce which college to attend? Give me a break, what a waste of time. Sigh. So, who are our future Spartan gridders? No shockers on letter of intent day. Here they are. Now, let's get them enrolled, eligible, and keep them out of trouble.
