The BTN crew filmed its fall camp preview at MSU today. The show won't air until 10 p.m. Thursday, but we can get an idea of their thoughts from Twitter.
MSU lets the BTN guys ignore MSU's "no tweeting at practice rule," so here's what they had to say.

— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012#Spartans This is the only team in B1G we've covered from yr 1 to yr 6 - MD has done an unbelievable job building this program
BTN Bus Tour
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012#Spartans - MSU the only team in B1G that you evaluate as a championship team whereas you didn't 6 yrs ago – impressive growth
BTN Bus Tour
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012#Spartans - Last yr. MSU ranked 11th in rushing in B1G - getting to the middle of the B1G in 2012 is a key to success
BTN Bus Tour
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012#Spartans -Today was MSU 21st practice - a lot of camp legs on field - they're getting a couple of days rest soon - much needed
BTN Bus Tour

— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012#Spartans - Thought Larry Caper had a good day - didn't look like he had tired legs
BTN Bus Tour
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012#Spartans - Andrew Maxwell very strong arm will take some time to get totally on same page with WR - always does with new QB/WR
BTN Bus Tour
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012#Spartans 1 of the best things about the defensive unit is their depth - again its a result of 6 years of MD building a program
BTN Bus Tour
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012#Spartans -Something has to happen on offense - either run game gets better or over achieve at QB/WR - still need great defense
Former

Depth on the
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 22, 2012#Spartans DLine is impressive - lot of big guys who can really move.Obviously, Gholston stands out - but really Good overall
Easy to see why
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 22, 2012#Spartans coaches have been raving about Shilique Calhoun.Really athletic.Wouldn't surprise me if he becomes a star in B1G
Jairis Jones out with the 1's at safety for the

@howardgriffith says this is the best he's seen the#Spartans OL look in 6 yrs we've been coming here. Likes Jack Allen
Lawrence Thomas - another guy who could help
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 22, 2012#Spartans at DE.Lots of talent on D.Jamal Lyles looks good too.
Andrew Maxwell was fantastic on set with us.Reminiscent of Kirk Cousins.Will be a great leader for the

May not have had a player who's had more fun on set than

— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 23, 2012
@gerrydinardo@gerrydinardo said he thought Maxwell may have the strongest arm we've seen.Accuracy was so-so today - but it's just 1 day
Talked to
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012#Spartans WR coach Terrence Samuels. Says Fowler and Lippett have stood out. Says he has 6-7 WRs he likes.#B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012
#Spartans d line coach Ted Gill told me Reynolds would start at DT next to White if there was a game today.#B1G
Dantonio looks fit and trim. Almost looks lie a marathon runner.
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012#Spartans#B1G
Suit up!
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012
#Spartan o line working on double teams. May be Dantonio's best o line yet. McDonald and Fonoti are best.#B1G twitter.com/BTNTomDienhart…
First team
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012#Spartan LBs: Allen, Bullough, Norman. Great crew. True frosh Jamal Lyles is running with 2nd team. twitter.com/BTNTomDienhart…
There he is, America: the best DE in the nation: William Gholston!
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012#Spartans#B1G twitter.com/BTNTomDienhart…
"That's high praise"
WR coach Terrence Samuels told me true frosh Macgarrett Kings could play a role this fall.
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012#Spartans#B1G
Kurtis Drummond is running with the first team today at FS.
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012#B1G#Spartans
Based on Revsine's above tweet, sounds like they're still shuffling.
Guns N Roses is blaring over speakers at
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012#Spartans practice. Tony Mandarich would like this.#B1G
(Insert steroid joke)
In 3 wide sets, Keith Mumphery lines up with Fowler and Lippett. Macgarrett Kings running with the twos.
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012#Spartans#B1G
Makes sense. Mumphrey is a burner who will fill Keshawn Martin's role.
Lots of TEs shuffling: Paul Lang, Derek Hoebing, Andrew Gleichert, Evan Jones.
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012#Spartans#B1G
MSU loves multi-tight end sends, but it sounds like the No. 2 spot is still up for grabs.
I will say: It is fun to watch
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012@coachduzzmsu coach! He gets after it!!#Spartans#B1G
That is, in fact, a real account. Has picked up in activity this month.
The only group of d-linemen I have seen better than this was at
— Tom Dienhart (@BTNTomDienhart) August 22, 2012#OhioState. But there isn't much of a difference.#Spartans#B1G
Ruh-roh.
