I do have concerns about why he doesn't have more offers. It's rare that all schools mis-evaluate a known player.Quote:

He seems worth a swing, and also does not seem like a plug and play rb prospect.
I could see Witherspoon getting moved up to a four star after the MS/AL all-star game.
Bama has a RB commit from one of the best high school programs in the country and they are in it with the big RB from IMG. They aren't ever going to take an RB rated like Weatherspoon because they will always get big time recruited ones.
Auburn doesn't have that big time RB on their board really but I can't imagine they will go after Weatherspoon. Auburn and Alabama can afford to chase stars because they are big time programs in fertile recruiting territory, especially Auburn.
Weatherspoon is the kind of kid that can come to an MSU and really do good things because they are underrated but not high enough in star rating to get a serious look from the big boys.
Look at Errol. Both Bama and Auburn whiffed on him. But he was an 88 overall. Bama will almost never take a kid like that at LB.
Bell ringing
And it begins.

Maybe not, since Walker is a JUCO guy. He was also the #1 RB in the country out of HS and played for Michigan.Quote:

Imo yes, my concern has always been Gibson would transfer due to us not using him.Quote:
