Well, it's a good thing people still play football. Preseason lists prove only that people are on radars.
This list is ok, but innacurate in many ways.
Schofield is at least 2nd team, period. I cannot name 3 right tackles better, I can't name 2 in the bigten right now.
James Ross, Imho ends up 1st team.
Washington or Pip one ends up 1st team....jmho there as well.
Clark / Ojemudia, one of them will be there as well..... and imho Taco ends up fr all american.
Darboh / Chesson, one of them ends up 2nd team all bigten!
Funchess... ends up 1st team all bigten and by virtue of the receiving core all together, Gardner ends up 1st team all bigten this yr,
I think the offense this season will surprise alot of people and score alot of points.
Some of our guys should be higher (Schofield, for one), but I'd prefer to be under the radar right now.
Assuming Ryan comes back whole and as expected, isn't it likely that Jake Ryan would at least be 2nd team? I thought he'd be first team All Big Ten by now, when I saw him tackle Tyrod Taylor.
This could be the peak for the MSU program right here... four 1st teamers on D... and no Michigan... and with Bullogh leaving and Narduzzi eventually taking a top job, I would have to say this is their high point right now.
