This is one of those offers that always gets me wondering what a recruit is thinking. Obviously an FBS offer is a big deal, but at the same time do you want to play for a FBS team that plays in a group of 5 conference and might play in the Bad Boy Mowers Bahamas bowl a year or 2 you play for them? Or do you want to play for a team that has a history of being good and is clearly coming back to prominence. Giving you the chance to play in a playoff, and maybe contribute to conference and national title teams?

Bozeman Montana vs. Storrs Connecticut.....hmmm? Easy decision if it was me but I'm biased and not from Texas.

I think you have to expect this more and more from the early signing period.
When UConn's top 10 prospects committed somewhere else, they start to poach of the top FCS Teams.......
Just the quickest way to get a commit from someone who is top FCS and mid FBS

Yes, for me an incredibly dumb question. Where would I rather "live", anywhere in proximity to connecticut or Bozeman MONTANA???

OMG that guy likes to lay some hurt down!
I'm not sure where his center of gravity is but it looks like it might be some where around his knees. Or is it lower than that even?

I know, I was just wondering what the thought process is like for him, and any recruit in this situation now.

That’s really cool. When people are good to you notice it and appreciate it. Whoever they may be.

It seems Sherod White is back on board ... what would that mean for Isaiah Ifanse? Both talented. Do you think MSU would take both? Seems like a lot of running backs with Sumner, Cauley and then both of these guys. But hey, can never have too much talent.

A key thing to remember is that Sherod is mostly getting recruited as an athlete. He was an excellent safety in high school too. Could also transition into corner. Could play slot receiver on offense. Justin Cauley is more of a Nick LaSane-type back. Lane Sumner is a kid who can play that Logan Jones role. Basically, all have different skill sets and Isaiah would be a welcome addition to go along with the rest of the backs.

Will have to be a summer transfer at this point. Sounds like documentation didn't clear.

So as far as we know, he's still on board. Just a paperwork thing?
