I wouldn't say hurt , he's not a program changer. Granted he will fit into the black bear front nicely for them.Quote:

Been tied up this afternoon and tonight so I just got to read this thread. I apologize...I didn't expect some of you guys to take what I said to the extreme. I simply thought it was funny that Steve said that about Gray and then the VERY next day he came out with OM gear on. Never said I knew where he was going, who his leader was, or anything like that. I just thought it was funny how Steve is wrong so often and then it almost appeared as if Gray had said yea I'm leaning MSU, and then went and put on OM gear. I still think Gray will be a Dawg. My post was more geared towards Rosebowl. And for the ones questioning why I pick on Steve...it's because he has an ego and puts personal shit above MSU, and even hurts MSU at times. I don't hate him though. Todd and some others summed it up well.
Anyway, sorry that some of you took what I said and ran with it. I meant for it to be a funny thing to point out, and nobody to really care enough to post a reply. Never thought that post would lead to me "saying a recruit was going elsewhere" or "hating Steve". Some of you guys have active imaginations (I'm looking at you DogFather).
Anyway, carry on.
Others have touched on the DeVinner thing. Those guys were willing to throw MSU under the bus and have us put on probation so that they could eliminate their competition who was doing a better job so that they could make a buck and continue to be lazy. Really- to be honest with you, you should thank Paul Jones for doing a good job because if he didn't Rosebowl would continue to be lazy and clueless just like he was in 2011. I'm honestly not even sure if Steve went to MSU to be honest with you. (Maybe he did? At worst he is a sidewalk alum.) All I know about the guy is he is from Canton and he used to sell furniture.Quote:

I also think he has set some sort of a record for being out of the loop. His computer breaks down, he's too sick to type, he didn't get in until 4 AM, the dog is sick, etc. It's hilarious.
That's like saying "All I know about Albert Pujols is he used to pitch for the Marlins."Quote:

Actually Steve is not from Canton, but from somewhere in south Mississippi (Columbia maybe). His parents divorced and his father lived in Canton (Freddie Robertson). Freddie was a great man. Steve and his brother, Pat, would only come to Canton to visit their dad. They aren't from Canton, and did not live in Canton. In the house with Freddie was his 2nd wife, his two step-daughters (Kim and Nikki), and his daughter with his 2nd wife (Reagan). Steve and Pat lived with their mom (I assume in Columbia or wherever).
Steve is a good guy and means well. He makes some wrong predictions at times but hindsight is 20/20. Kids change their minds or give him some bad info sometimes, but that happens to everyone.
I don't know all the details about Steve and what happened with the probation, but I have yet to hear anyone on this board or any other who can explain where Steve committed a violation. The alleged violations come from a coach (mirando), a player (Redmond), and a booster. Those violations are what landed us on probation. Accountability should come into play at some point.
His Dad played at Bama- when Bama offered- we were finishedQuote:

So let's stop with the accountability bullshit.Quote:

Devinner didnt tell the NCAA about the money other schools were giving him- so he wasnt really going for "truth" or the good of college football.
all of that makes sense and personality differences are part of life. I will say this about Steve though, he is the only guy on any subscription sight that I've seen that actually goes out and truly evaluates kids....I was a member back in 2011 and you really can't dictate what the tsun & auburn crooks do when they open their wallets. I remember him talking about Bernardrick McKinney early on. I just seems to me that most of those recruiting sights, whether MSU based or some of the national guys, really have no clue how to evaluate a kid. Yeah, it's easy to identify the most physically developed kid near a large city, but all of those guys were saying Nkemdiche was the second coming of Clowney and that dude shouldn't even be in the same discussion after what I saw this year. Either way, I would never want that job. This sight differentiates itself to me from the dozens of other msu sights b/c the posters actually talk/debate about the current team and roster which is more meaningful and fun.Quote:

They had people there nearly every week looking at him and were WAY ahead of the pack.Quote:
