AZ,
I’m going to strongly disagree with you on this one. Let’s use Balue Chapman as an example. Balue grew up bleeding blue and gold. Not only did he grow up in Bozeman, but his dad Brett, played for the cats. I know them very well, and can tell you that he was given 100% free reign to make a decision.
He enjoyed his visit to UM, and I know the thought of playing for the Griz was very tempting, given the stadium, tradition, etc. At the end of the day, he made the decision he felt was best for his playing career and education. You have to credit msu for pushing hard, and not just assuming he would go there because of his dad.
Although he’ll be 0-4 against the Griz, I am sure he made the right decision for him.
