Dad went to MSU and he had even more family connections there. He was their first verbal in his class and I think we tried but never got much traction.

Could have sworn that he was a MSU legacy. I think all three brothers went to MSU.

Or maybe it was the Allen Brothers that were MSU legacies. Both of whom were MSU starting centers during the 2010s.

If I’m not mistaken (and I am a lot), in the interview if you’ll look at the inside of his right arm I recall seeing an SPA…. tattoo. Maybe nothing, but it could be Spartan!

He grew up a ND fan because of his grandpa & ND got in way too late.
His father made sure MSU locked him up early.

With the depth we have at corner I would limit hart early in the season so he's healthy and peaking for weeks 3-4

Offense: Tyree as a wideout.
Defense: Cam Hart. He's been through a ton of injuries and all reports sound like he has become something even better than before.

Cam stays healthy he could have a big year. Teams will avoid Morrison, and at one time they avoided Cam to go at Morrison last year.

I think to truly have a shot at upsetting OSU, ND needs to get comfortable leads in the games preceding the Buckeyes and ensure their backups get plenty of reps on the defensive side of the ball.

Who is everyone's surprise player at the moment? Offense & defense.

Offense I'm going with Jeremiyah Love. I think he's going to prove to be too athletic and versatile to keep buried on the depth chart behind Estime, and he's going to develop into the #2.

Defense, I'm going with Jaden Mickey. I think he's going to lock down the Nickle Back and take this group of CBs from great to elite this year. Sounds like Hart is finally healthy and actually improved, and Benmo gonna Benmo.

Sounds like jaden isn’t really even in play for nickel … Harper and Lewis. I think that’s dumb to not consider having jaden hart Morrison Harper carter watt on the field at the same time… that’s 5 dbs that can cover, Lewis can’t cover

Golden made it seem like nickel is Lewis and Harper battling where as jaden is third corner and they need to find a fourth

I know you get a lot of shit on here, but I actually agree with you on this take. I’m guessing they want a bigger player covering the slot?

Ehh. Mickey played slot last year and struggled. Playing in that much space as a slot db is a lot different than playing as an outside CB. As an outside DB you have the sideline to help and can pass off a lot more routes to your help.

Lewis and Harper aren’t too much bigger

I think the coaches feel they have so many cover players they want to have players specifically for the nickel to focus on that role since we play it a lot… I hope it’s like 30 snaps for Harper there and 10 Lewis (or less) … I’m assuming we play nickel/dime about 40 snaps a game, think I read we did that last year

To me Henderson brown and Lewis haven’t shown the ability we need…. Harper and carter have elsewhere and hart Morrison watts…
You expect Mickey to turn a corner, can any other young guys take time away from the 3 I mention who I think have struggled due to physical limitations they can’t really correct

Mickey struggled due to not knowing what to do

Nickel is typically in man to man… they’re repping Lewis at nickel, they shifted him there second half of last year

I agree he’s not capable of man to man on a slot, hence why I hope he gets passed … finally

I’d be rotating the 2 and 3 deep as much as we can the first 4 games before Ohio State

Impressive catch by Thomas in the video above. Expect him to have a big year with Hartman's propensity to want to air it out and take some risks. Can't coach Thomas's size and catch radius.

Well if we have a shot at 10-2 then our receivers better have breakout years and hoping for Freshmen to have big years from the start is very risky.

A shot at 10-2? Hartman alone should set that as the bar, then any development and coaching improvements should only increase that. We should have went 10-2 last year

But I agree we development is crucial to fight for 10-2 or better vs truly passing the championship caliber eye test
