Muskegon is a fairly traditional Michigan feeder school. If there were any prospects at that school, I ensure you the Michigan coaches would know about them. Sometimes, winning high school games has nothing to do with talent that will translate to the next level (look at Cass Tech, for example, or East Grand Rapids for an example from the other end).

After watching a lot of games, video highlights of players around the country getting attention… I am astounded that the multitude of talent at Muskegon Big Reds is not getting any attention at all. That school and coaching staff trains and produces Top atheletic talent every year..Period. As a team they blew away some of the “Top” talent, besting them in almost every phase of the game in one on one matchups, speed, determination, and power. Yet, these well disciplined motivated kids are getting the cold shoulder from recruiting.
They make a lot of whats being stated as top state talent in Michigan look like little kids comparitively when beating the stuffing out of them.
Coaches take a look at some of these kids and bring them in for some evals.

Yeah, the Forcier interview was a week or two old, but the information is certainly still relevant.

I believe that the Tate Forcier interview was done quite a while ago, but still good information. I hope that the class of 2010 is a great one!

White’s parents ’scolded’ Sam Webb for saying that he was a lock. I don’t think AW is a lock anywhere, and from the stories, if he doesn’t get straight in a hurry, he may get locked out.

White has 2 older brothers, who are twins. Austin is 2 years younger than them.

AA1879: Austin White is the “MSU lock” that you’re thinking of.

Isn’t Austin White an MSU lock? Either he or Nick Hill is an MSU lock. Their family are HUGE green and white fans FWIW. I am just not sure which kid it is… from the looks of it (Mr White a purple people eater) it may be Nick hill who I am thinking of.

As always, I love the recruiting news. I do like that you’ve combined the 2009 and 2010 together, but I think it would help if you split them up within a given post so that it reads more smoothly.

Anyway, in your last post about Austin White…..could you explain what “an older twin brother” is? Aside from being minutes older, I’m curious how there could be such a thing. =)
