This. He got the typical treatment a lower end 4 star gets when they commit to MSU. They get the bump down to a high end 3 star.Quote:

He knows he's never going to be an NFL guy. Marcus Murphy is a better safety. So is the kid we redshirted.Quote:

You hit it right on the head. Baseball is big for him.Quote:

Not sure about you guys, but I'm proud when we get players that will help us win games, At least that is what is logical.
I'd love Ealy to flip, but I just laugh at myself & others that get excited about it.
Here is what is funny about Ealy.
If Ealy flipped to MSU, MSU's recruiting class would be ranked 13th in the country & OM's would fall to 24. All for a guy that likely won't play football.
That's why its funny, UNM doesn't care about filling their needs just go get numbers that make it look good.Quote:

In state but I may be wrong & you may be right. I had just heard a diff name.Quote:

If he's going to do it. And is signing early... I would rather him stay committed to OM until he is sitting at a table and on camera and pick up a MSU hat just to throw them for a loop rather than flipping between now and early signing day. Would make the flip that much more enjoyable.Quote:

If the impossible does happen and Ealy flips to us AND turns down what is likely to be 1st round draft pick money to come to campus... could he play baseball for us in 2019? Would he have to be an EE? Excuse me while I dream about that squad taking the diamond next year
Maybe he could get a deal like Alford (think it was him)... play football and pro baseball in summerQuote:
