New Blog: Anonymous Eagle covering Marquette!

Mike Trogan does the work for me by culling the portions of this ESPN article which are relevant for MSU fans. MSU targets Robert Bolden (QB), William Gholston (DE/LB) and Austin White (RB, brother of Blair Austin and Myles) all performed well, with White winning the camp MVP award. (Sadly, he's seemingly considered a Michigan lean by most who know these things.)

Gholston was especially impressive:

"If a "look test" award were given out, it almost certainly would have gone to Gholston, another ESPNU 150 Watch List prospect. Gholston not only looked great physically, but he showed speed and agility for a big guy. On more than one occasion, Gholston blew by his opponent with an outside speed rush."

Finally, there's this from a USA Today article about the camp:

But after the one-on-ones started, the attention quickly turned to the guy who was dominating Gholston in those battles – offensive lineman Connor Kruse of Lowell (Mich.) High.

Not much was known about Kruse heading into the camp – he wasn't even in the Rivals.com recruiting database until recently – but after handling Gholston in one-on-ones and looking solid in drill work, he's a name to remember.

"I have one offer from Western Michigan," said Kruse, who is 6-4 and 280 pounds. "I'm hoping a camp like this will help get me on the map even more . . . ."

We'll see if our coaches were similarly impressed.

Austin white is not related to Blair White. He is the younger brother of Mitchell and Myles White.

Guh.

Brainlock on my part. Duly corrected.

If Kruse emerges as a solid Big Ten prospect

One would hope that the Keith Nichol connection to Lowell would help us in recruiting him.

Light a man a fire, he'll stay warm for a day.

Beating the...

…best guy at the camp is sure a good way to get noticed.

We’ve got not only Keith Nichol, but his brother (Kyle?) is supposed to be preferred walk-on.
