    Some new faces that Pruitt has brought in via recruiting and transfers that will likely be starters or have significant roles:

    Brandon Kennedy- starting center

    Alontae Taylor- starting corner

    Bryce Thompson-will play a lot in the corner rotation

    Trevon Flowers- starting safety

    Dominic Wood-Anderson- starting tight end

    Madre London- will split reps with Chandler and Jordan

    Jerome Carvin- will be in the offensive guard rotation

    Emmit Gooden- will play a lot of snaps on the defensive line


    I would say Gaulden is the only piece we lost off last years team, and we have at least 8 newcomers that are going to be playing a lot. Improved roster+improved coaching=a fun season coming our way.

    Jordan Allen will get every opportunity to prove he can play

    If Tillman has looked as good as everyone says he has, he'll get snaps too

    Paxton Brooks may be the punter

    I also heard about Madre London over Banks. That surprises me.

    Banks will be fine. Madre is a man and hes still a kid

    Banks is having to adjust to being away from home.

    Madre is a pretty damn good back, too. He's physical, he delivers a blow and he doesn't lose yards. He got hurt and got passed up by another really good back at MSU. It happens

    I’ve heard nothing but good things about our running back group.

    I have to admit a screw up. I thought Banks was the MSU back. I had the names wrong. I'm obviously not in game shape.

    Didn't Lou Holtz say Brady Quinn was going to win four Heisman's?

    Yeah, this is about in that same boat.
