Yeah, it's hard for any FCS school compete with a legit FBS program like that ... especially one that is that much closer to home for the recruit.[cat_bracket] wrote:Was thinking the same.

Until MSU moves up to at least the MWC, we have to expect to lose most of those battles.

Damn I though Pott's tape looked great. Fluid, size, speed. Could've played a few different positions here.

I have a hard time criticizing Potts or any other guy in his situation. It has to be tough, making a decision whether to accept an offer you have on the table or hold out for another, knowing that the current offer you have could be pulled at any time if the school finds someone else. Best of luck to him at Fresno, I'm sure our coaches have another guy ready to go to take his spot.

I agree and I was bummed to see he chose Fresno St. He would have been a major get for us. However, how many highly touted recruits have we had that absolutely flamed out?

Two days to go. I think the coaches are done contacting potential recruits until signing day due to the rules. Sounds like we might have 1-2 additions to the list come Wednesday morning. Hopefully everyone listed sticks.
