MSU football gets two HUGE portal wins; Two more possible MSU football transfer targets Dec 28, 2023

Show notes

MSU football had a big portal day as they see two highly coveted transfer portal entries come back to East Lansing in Geno VanDeMark and Derrick Harmon. What do both of these announcements mean to MSU, and what do each of those MSU offensive line and defensive line units look like now?

We are also looking at two transfer targets as running back Peny Boone and wide receiver Jabre Barber are in the portal with MSU interest.

And then finally, we crack open the mailbag to talk Aidan Chiles, football players switching positions and more.

USC trying to nab Aidan Chiles; Jaron Glover, Montorie Foster returning; Jeremy Fears shot Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

MSU football and MSU basketball had a heck of holiday week in the news, so we look back on all things Green and White starting with Aidan Chiles being sought after by USC. Should we be worried at all, and what are the key dates to watch for?

Also, Jaron Glover and Montorie Foster are heading back to MSU after an interesting dive into the portal that saw one of them take an official to Georgia. Harlon Barnett is also not coming back to the program, and we offer our thoughts on that.

Jeremy Fears was shot in his hometown, and why is he fortunate and what does this mean for MSU's season?

MSU football getting help from THREE much-needed transfer commits; MSU recruiting is in a good spot Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

MSU football and Jonathan Smith got some big help in the transfer portal with the additions of Jack Velling, Jordan Turner and TJ Sheffield. What will each bring to East Lansing, and what other name hit the portal that we should keep our eye on?

We then clean up a smattering of high school commits from Alessio Milivojevic to Brandon Tullis, and keeping an eye on hopeful commits Brady Pretzlaff and Camren Campbell. Also, with MSU's class ranking in the 60s right now, should we be panicking?

We then take a trip to Breslin Center to recap another solid showing from MSU behind stellar defense and strong offensive play from Tyson Walker and Tre Holloman.
