MFB: Excellent OL from Mt Pleasant back in play?
OL Andrew Dennis in the portal. Former MSU commit committed to Illini after Tucker left and it seems that didn't stick. I actually played HS ball with his Dad way back in the day so know him to be from some good mid-Michigan family stock and I know from his HS Coach he is a good kid/monster (good kind). Saw him play in high school, a mountain of a kid could be a future starter down the road for sure. Possibly going back to MSU, but would love this type of Michigan made smash and high quality depth on our O-line.

Maybe?
Looks like he was being recruited by Stanford as well as B1G schools so probably not an issue with academics.
Seems unlikely since we weren’t in his top 3 before (Illinois, PSU, Clemson) or his prior commitment (MSU).
I don't remember reading anything during his recruitment about Michigan being interested, but never say never.
Yeah, I don’t think he got an offer originally because MSU was on him early and he was kind of a foregone conclusion there until the Tucker phone jacking situation came about.
He is good enough and the player type they’ve recruited in past so I am sure they’d have interest if there was a chance he’d sign.
I am guessing back to MSU, but hopeful he gets a call from the good guys.

Lol at "phone jacking"

I don't think this is true. Dennis was fairly open throughout his recruitment and seriously considered both Penn State and MSU before signing with Illinois. His academics were also fine. For whatever reason, Michigan just wasn't interested.
Personally, I think it's because he's a bit of a tweener for our system. Not quite tall enough to be an ideal tackle, but he's not a tank either, and Michigan likes its guards to be the kind of guys who can play at 315-320.
Any WFB news?
No, but on WFB, is it a good or bad thing that Henry Cavill is attached to the making of the series.
Are we talking about Wells Fargo Bank or Womens FootBall here?
Can GhostOfJermaine translate this acronym for me?
No, GoJ DNT acronyms for WFB. Probably not for MFB, either, and certainly not for MBB, MMB, MBaBL, or WSB.
I'm not sure what the WDT or MST will do...
Clearly it's William F. Buckley. A hidden sign that the kid is going to Yale.
Oh I thought it was a to Warhammer Fantasy Battles based on my amateur Wikipedia search. lol.
If he is repelled by a picture of Mork Bucktonio then sign him up.
Mork Bucktonio? C'mon.

Dude, you're the insider, go find out and tell us.
Said he wanted to be closer to home?
There's only a handful of schools closer to home - Mt, Pleasant.
MSU, UM, OSU, IN & ND
Also, said IL had him playing C in spring ball,.

And Central. If he wants to be really close to home and have guaranteed playing time, it's right there
Yep, our MFB team is pretty MF good.
No but Oakland still is...
Is this the first 4* from Mt. Pleasant? I'm from just outside of MtP and I can't seem to remember any others.
I think he is. Matt LeFleur was from Mt. P as were a host of other decent players, but mostly 3 stars really coached up because its a college town we typically would get the D1 coaches helping us out. My coach at the time was CMU's backs and receivers coach (his son was on team too) and he brought in some staffers to help out so I had crazy good coaching at an early age. But most of the top players in the region I know of play at places like SVSU or MAC at best. This kid is outside the norm for sure.
