National signing day (regular period) - Starts 5 Feb

[MSU01]

Big class so far.

What are the needs still left?

LB seems to be the most glaring area of immediate need for players who can contribute immediately, with both Danny U and O'Reilly graduating. Other than that it will likely depend on which positions take hits from outgoing transfers. MSU signed a big high school class so there aren't a ton of spots available right now.

Bryce, Daily, Krahe, Cole Taylor, I know they thought quite highly of Ryan Bowles when they brought him in, Waible played some snaps. I wouldn’t think Dethman would be ready to be a contributor yet, but who knows.

If they had a really good transfer who was interested, I think they bring him in, but I think the position is pretty strong with young talent who needs to play to develop. LB is a hard position to learn without game snaps.

[BelligerentBobcat]

In terms of needs, I think QB transfer is probably the highest, and honestly, not that big of a need. MSU has tremendous depth.

I’m not sure they have anybody to replace McCullough. Maybe Jabez Wood? Could see a transfer at WR. If Scottre transfers a big power back would be necessary. I’d never say no to a quality edge or DB, but honestly, there’s no glaring need on the roster.

So just saying this because I literally just realized I'd been spelling it wrong but it's McCullouch. Garrigan is his backup but no idea if he's ready to be the full-time guy. Maybe they put King and Alexander out there on opposite sides. Is the younger King or Woods ready to take over? I actually really like Dodson-Greene but not sure if he has it to be a full-time starter either.

If Scottre were to transfer we'd better hope Davis is ready to go for next year or maybe we lean on Coon? You're right though the rest are slightly smaller and probably can't handle pounding it up the middle on the regular so some kind of transfer could be good.

Other than that, I think it really depends on who leaves. I feel good with Wilson and Reed at QB. If one leaves, we definitely need someone to come in and at the very least be a solid backup.

I put this out there in another thread, but are we sure Davis is here next season? He used his redshirt in 2019 with Wisconsin, and it appears he's already used his covid year. I don't think he has any eligibility left....someone correct me please if I am wrong.

Vigen has said multiple times that Davis has a redshirt available, and can play next year if he chooses.

I'm pretty sure that Vigen said they figured out a way to get him another year in a presser. I'm more concerned about if he can't stay healthy or decides to hang it up because of injuries.

This is very interesting, because I am pretty sure he redshirted in 2019. In fact, it says that in his bio on both the MSU and Wisconsin websites. I thought you were only allowed to redshirt once? Is this injury related then and he was granted a medical redshirt?

He used a medical redshirt his first season at Wisconsin. He is eligible to come back to MSU next season.

IIRC Coach Vigen said that they were successful in getting Davis's red shirt year at Wisconsin switched to a medical red shirt. Then by only playing in 4 regular season games this year he was able to call this his red shirt. I hope he's healthy again soon and comes back here next year too.

I think they ruled the 2019 redshirt was a medical redshirt. That left his normal redshirt for this year. (edit --- didn't see same answers above mine)

Thanks everyone for clearing this up for me. Yes - I would love to see #32 back out there next season for the Cats!! You just wonder at what point he might grow tired of rehabbing from injury and just decide to hang the cleats up...

I wouldn't worry about that. Football is his life according to a source. He's ride or die til he does or does not make it as a professional.

Garrigan was included with the seniors for senior day, I'm guessing he’s moving on.

What I mean by replacing McCullouch (thanks for the spelling correction) is that I’m not sure we have anybody else who can play on the outside that can threaten teams vertically by getting separation. Both King’s and Alexander are big possesion receivers. I’m not sold Trimble has that kind of speed, and that playing outside is his best position. Unless I’m missing somebody, Jabez Wood and now Max Hendricks are the only ones who fit there.

Now you could certainly play a King and Alexander on the outside at the same time, and it would probably be a boon to the running game, I don’t there’s enough speed on the field if you do that. Just my take, we’ll see what happens.

Krahe and daily with another year in the strength program are going to be machines at that position imo, with Bryce there as the run game and short yardage thumper.

I would like a starting-caliber safety, if Santa Claus were adjudicating the portal.

Krahe looks longer and more "framey" when you see them together. Idk. You think Bryce can hold up in coverage?

I think Bryce is significantly more athletic than Krahe.
