Intrpdtrvlr is his name, recruiting is his game

Given the amount of content he's already been producing, this is really only a technical change: Intrpdtrvlr (his friends call him "Intrepid") has officially joined the TOC blogging team. He'll be primarily covering basketball recruiting (as in the post below this one) and maybe chipping in some in other areas, as well.
Given that recruiting has always been a weakness of mine (and, by "weakness," I mean "gaping. meteor-sized hole in my blogging output"), I'm excited he's agreed to come aboard as a full-fledged TOC writer.
In another site-newsy note, I've moved the old Spartans Weblog archives back over to the free WordPress platform to avoid paying any more monthly server costs. I think the only major loss is the Java-based StatSheet charts. Other than that, everything should be there for your browsing pleasure. If anyone finds any other major glitches, shoot me an e-mail.

Welcome
As an avid recruiting follower, I have always enjoyed Intrpdtrvlr’s posts and look forward to the addition to the roster.
I knew it!!!
And I am sure Coach Izzo guessed Lebron would leave Cavs as well
Congrats!
I always look forward to intrpdtrvlr’s posts. Eagerly awaiting more of same.

Anonymity is overrated
Anyone is welcome to call me “Josh” because as anything but an internet handle “intrpdtrvlr” is pretty cumbersome. I’m glad my ridiculous amounts of attention to the whims and plans of teenagers can be of interest to the Spartan web community. I’ll be adding periodic updates as best I can.
Thanks to the everyone at TheOnlyColors for having me. It’s a privilege to be made an official part of such a great MSU fansite!
Izzo and Lebron
Aside from the obvious fact that Lebron leaving just left Cleveland’s basketball prospects in ruins, I think the way this whole situation has gone down just confirms that Izzo is meant for college basketball.
This self proclaimed “King” and his “Decision” special program in which he ripped out the hearts of his community would not have been a good fit for a man who just about broke down when announcing his return. What a circus. I’m not a cleveland fan, but if there is such a thing as karma they deserve a title asap.
Also, I suggest you check out the open letter Gilbert sent. http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/gilbert_letter_100708.html
Now I see why the guy appealed to Izzo, talk about some intensity…
Thank you
TOC team and especially Intrpd er Josh. Recruiting talk is a welcome addition to the blog for someone like me trolling the web daily looking for FREE tidbits. It ticks me off that Scout and Rivals don’t want to give away what they can sell when both Foxsports and Yahoo have so much free content on the NBA and every other professional sport. So again, thank you. I’ll look forward to your posts and if one day I find they’re locked behind some insider section of the site that I have to pay to read I won’t hold it against you.
Go Hard or get some popcorn
Brandon Dawson
Is MSU going to get him?
Sounds Like he fits perfectly. But we already have Kearney and Anderson for wins. Can either of those 2 actually play the Point like some are hoping?
Point Guard
I think the backing off Davis means one of two things – 1. Izzo and staff are of the opinion that Kearney or Anderson can at least do spot duty at PG by their sophomore years to spell Appling or 2. MSU sees someone they like in 2012 (Ray Lee?) who they believe is worth an offer.
I think it’s the former. However, if Izzo wraps 2011 with a post player and 2012 becomes a four man class, it’s not outrageous to look at a big (Costello), two wings (Harris, Kaminski), and a point guard (Ray Lee).
Which is a long way of saying, kasper, that I definitely could see MSU taking Dawson in addition to those two. Someone is going to have to do at least 8-12 mpg at point in 2012.
Glad to hear it
I’ve always appreciated your recruiting insights. Glad you have an official stage for them. I do have to say that Intrpdtrvlr an air of mystery and intrigue that Josh can never match, so I’d suggest sticking with the former as your TOC moniker.
