A few people over on the Dark Side are claiming that Hanks has enrolled in Spring classes at UM. They've already got 11 portal commits while MSU isn't even known to have offered anyone yet. Guess it helps to have that two week head start!GrizgradCatFan wrote: ↑Sun Dec 28, 2025 11:52 amHayden Hanks is now available. Looks like he would be a great addition. Anyword out there on his recruiting?

It’s not the head start, it’s the relative lack of need and the team building philosophy.MSU01 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 11, 2026 10:25 pmA few people over on the Dark Side are claiming that Hanks has enrolled in Spring classes at UM.

Re: Portal Recruits
Same situation happened last year. Good grief people our coaches understand how to recruit! UM is going to bring in guys every year in larger volumes than us from the portal. That is how they choose to fill out their roster.MrGoodKat wrote: ↑Sun Jan 11, 2026 11:23 pmIt’s not the head start, it’s the relative lack of need and the team building philosophy.MSU01 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 11, 2026 10:25 pmA few people over on the Dark Side are claiming that Hanks has enrolled in Spring classes at UM.

Dark pink needs about 40 players this fall as opposed to cats looking to bring in a few more to improve the 104 they have.VimSince03 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 12, 2026 6:50 amSame situation happened last year.

Two starting DTs
Two starting DEs
Three corners, assuming 4-man rotation
One center
One tackle
Two Wr, assuming 6-man rotation
One TE
Reserve DB/ST player
One QB3
I think msu has 13 of those covered now. Could possibly want to add a corner and DE.
MSU - 17 team National Champions (most recent 2025); 57 individual National Champions (most recent 2023).
