MSU took one defensive line recruit in this class. Our defensive line was what made our defense so damned good last year and we needs us some good defensive line. I will say despite how short we are of total recruits we're completely making up for it with the "motion of the ocean".
David Fennell
David Fennell committed to Michigan State on January 23rd over offers from no one else. He played his senior year in Portland, Oregon. He is Canadian so I cannot wait to see how evil he gets as a Defensive Tackle once he learns to be an impolite jerk like the rest of us Americans. Fennell was ranked a three star prospect by 247 Sports and two-stars by Rivals and Scout. At 1.905 Meters and and 124.73 kilos he's got the frame to grow, but the size to play already.
His father was "Dr. Death" of CFL fame, not of Kevorkian fame. The elder Fennell won the award of Most Outstanding Canadian in 1979*. So what does our new David Fennell know about playing football? To the Youtubes!
*Most Outstanding Canadian of the CFL
How Many People Will Fennell Eat in the Big Ten?
Lots. He'll eat lots. I know this is high school ball, but I love his burst off the snap. Worthy-like burst against High School kids. He also does a nice job driving his blocker back and then getting of his blocks to take off after the ball carrier. Areas for improvement? Doesn't look like the surest tackler yet, but I'm really reaching.
2012 Prognostication and Beyond: I think Fennell redshirts in 2012. There's a logjam at the three technique that needs the cable fixed and I don't think it gets sorted out until after this year. Fennell sees rotational duty beginning in 2013.
2013 Needs: 2 DE and 2 DT minimum.
Bonus:As many of you may already know, Monty Madaris has yet to fax in his letter of intent. There are theories ranging from that he's not sure he wants to move the six hours to MSU all the way to Urbz is hiding in the bushes outside his house with a kilo of coke and a gaggle of hookers ready to tattoo him in his new 370z. For my own part, I don't much care what the hold up is, Madaris needs to make the right choice for him. This is all no longer true, but the below is about the next recruiting blow-up.
I'd encourage you in this era of internet transparency to avoid getting worked up about what the kid is or isn't doing. A friend of mine says that people pick their noses more when they're in the car because they think they're alone despite the fact everyone can see you. This is true of the internet as well, if you dog on a kid when you think he can't see you, he can. It only depends on whether he's looking on that message board at the time. Let him be, if he doesn't want to come here that's his choice.
