Outlook for 2006... Returning Players, Recruits, Etc

[Cousin17]

Don't we all just love talking about how great MSU is!

[Mikelaw84]

Someone sounds a bit bitter....

[laxfan25]

I smell a bad case of Spartan envy! What happened, SAT/ACT's weren't good enough to get accepted?

[Cousin17]

Yea... because MSU's acceptance standards are that of U of M. I was accepted but declined. By the way MSU doesn't require an SAT.

With Michigan losing so many All Americans to graduation, the CCLA may struggle once again to produce a top performer in the national tournament. However, the influx of top recruits to Michigan State, Pittsburgh, and Michigan should help down the road. I'm just fearful we won't have the strength to put a Michigan back into the semis.

what recruits does pittsburgh have? i have already seen the lists for um and msu

Well then why all the hate? If its not because you got declined, did they beat your team? or are you being snobby because you beat them? just curious....sorry i know its a little off topic.

And the lax, I doubt UofM will have too much of a "down" year. They have too much talent waiting for their chance on the bench. plus im sure they will have another great recruiting class.

[Cousin17]

Yes. My team lost to MSU but there is no hate. I was just adding to the MSU coverage as that is what I thought this forum was only for.

The web people only put up what they are given. That's why you mostly see CSU, BYU, Michigan etc. articles up, because there are only a couple teams that actually submit anything. It's up to the teams to cover their programs. So maybe instead of complaining that your team isn't getting any press, you should get someone on your squad or in your school to submit newsworthy articles to the website. It's not like Sonny and Matt sit around and toss out articles about schools they aren't affiliated with. They would probably prefer it if other schools did submit.

[Cousin17]

If you read my post at all you would understand that I am content with the extensive MSU coverage and that I am not complaining that another school isn't getting any coverage.

and back to the topic of this conversation....(take your grudges to another forum so that those that do not care can ignore them)...what teams have not listed their incoming freshmen and transfer prospects?

[Zeuslax]

Ferris returns all players except for thier back up goalie. From what I understand they have some outstanding players coming in for the 05/06 season. The team is still very young, dominated by soph's and juniors.

Seems as if many in Div. B will be retruning most of their players. Should be a very competitive conference again next season.

Does anyone know what Ball State will do next year? They seemed to roll through D-B last season.

I thought that meant you were returning to the topic...doesn't sound like it

I will only say this to clear up some misconceptions about MSU. MSU does NOT require the SAT. It requires either the SAT or the ACT. This is the standard policy for the vast majority of the country.

Some other schools that "don't require an SAT":
Harvard
Yale
Stanford
University of Michigan

MSU didn't submit our recruiting class article. We posted it on our website, and submitted it to Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Detroit news media.

Sonny copied it off our website.

I personally don't have anything to do with the content on the website. I just make sure all the software works.
