What is interesting is what is the reason.  Wasn't he the recruit that wanted to play RB but is only elite if he plays the LB position (or something like that)?

Didn't Tucker coach a couple top 10 defenses at Georgia?  Top 5 when they went to the title game?

He's probably a decent coach, has good assistants though.  I think he's going to be the best recruiter MSU has had since Saban though.  

We get our house in order and we should beat Tucker 2 of every 3 seasons.

Holy fuck, you would think you could actually spell the university you would be attending - wouldn't that be kind of a big deal?  I am not big on being the grammar police, and actually frown on those that are, but that is on another level.

Given that Tennessee is about get hit with sanctions for buying top players, I think it's safe to assume that Michigan wanted no part of this guy. And rightly so.

I don't think we even tried pursuing him. I think his transfer has to do with a new coaching staff. It shouldn't be surprising to see someone like this transfer with a coaching change. However, it is somewhat surprising he is going to MSU. This could potentially be a big pick up. I think he was once rated a 5 star RB. Then switched to LB and was a top 100 player in the country.

There has also been some renewed interest by UM for Henry To’oto’o, which we previously thought was shut down because we wouldn’t want to touch any of those players with a 10ft pole. According to a small update I read on 247 a week or two ago, UM had picked back up in trying to recruit him. And I don’t think anyone would disagree that he was the better LB of the two and it wasn’t super close
