Why did I think he was already committed to us? Huh.

He is. MSU has been trying desperately to get him.

With an 18 month old, it gets a lot of play in the Dub household right now. It was cute early. Now it just wears on you. 

What’s that last name, Dub?

From my amateur evaluation, they seem to have different skill sets. Cain is a brusier but Griffin is nimble and can accelerate at the flip of a switch. Richards would be a fine substitute for Cain but slight downgrade. But I think we need to get Jamious if nothing else.

I actually disagree from my own amateur evaluation. I was originally "star struck" with Cain, but after watching film of both Cain and Mar, I feel like Mar is the better athlete and will be the better RB. Trey Sanders was definitely better than Cain (watching them play on the same team). I typically dislike comparing recruits to past stars (we usually do it wrong), but MAR does remind me of KJ quite a bit.

Too bad for AU. He had a lot of potential. I hope he has a good career there.

Doesn't that fit ever so neatly into the narrative? Seriously what is Gus supposed to do? Hand the kid a stack of 100s?

Zeek and spoke about this at the beginning of this cycle.  I've never been a Cain fan.

More like we think we are getting some players higher on the board or would you rather Gus let someone higher on his board go to get someone lower? Everything doesn't have to be negative , give it a try you will like it.

I'm still a big believer in Cain but my feelings have definitely become more realistic over the past few months. Still, if there is a place that could get the most out of him it's Penn State. Wish him well up there.

I think I went with KJ plus some Kenny Irons IIRC. 

If we get MAR and one of Williams or Griffin, I'll be absolutely ecstatic.

Crabs in a barrel philosophy. Don't know why anyone would want to stay in Mississippi
