New DT transfer

Oren Wilson. Started 26 games in the past two seasons for Michigan State, and played in every game as a true freshman, so this will be his redshirt year. Hopefully he can stay motivated and in great shape, and succeed in the classroom in his year off (there's no reason to fail senior classes... he's got to be ok if he's made it this far). Could have a HUGE impact as our 1-Tech next season.

Not to rain on your parade ....

Why would a "senior to be" leave Michigan State for Akron?

Grades?

Legal troubles?

Akron's great, though completely unproven, coaching staff?

Large crowds bother him?

This simply does not add up.

Update:

From Rasor's column ...

"The fourth is the most intriguing. Oren Wilson is a defensive tackle transfer from Michigan State. He started 12 games last season for the Spartans. He will have one year remaining after he sits out per transfer rules in 2010. He is transferring because of an incident before Michigan State's 2009 bowl game that landed him 21 days of jail time. This article suggests that Wilson wanted to return, but Spartans coach Mike Dantonio said otherwise."

He's a beast. I'll take him.

Psh... If Michigan State won't give him his second chance, Akron will.

When you follow the above link, take a minute and check out MSU's online store. REALLY exposes how bush league our administration is. For crying out loud, let's get it together, fellas.

Sounds like he may be a combo defensive lineman/kicker.

It's up, it's good!

Heck yeah.

21 days? That's nothing.

Let's hope this guy dominates.

So the guy got into a fight and beat some serious ass. Pretty common thing for college football players actually, this guy's problem is the authorities got involved. I don't know about this generation, but back when I played if every guy got kicked off the team who got into a fight with some frat chump trying to show how big his nutts were or some drunk who thought he all of a sudden grew five inches and put on 80 pounds of muscle, there wouldn't have been much of a team left. This is a non-issue character wise in my opinion, and MSU's loss is our gain. He should be big for us in '11.

Agreed. Just having a little fun with it.

Everyone wants tough, aggressive players, particularly on defense. If he's learned to reign it in just a little off the field, then I'm pretty glad he's playing his last season as a Zip!

..or he likes to use steroids, and just happened to rage a bit (maybe looking to far into it). He does looks like a big fella. I agree with the their lose our gain.

It's nice Akron is giving him a second chance, but if he gets in this kind of trouble again it makes Akron's football program look worse

Oh that wasn't directed at your comment, I was just making a general statement. And I agree, we need some NASTINESS up front, that's what our D has been missing for quite a while now. Like you said, as long as he can keep himself out of bad situaitons off the field, he'll be fine.

Has he had any back troubles?

I agree. Not only do we need nastiness, we need guys who are nasty all of the time...in an angry way. That's what we need.

Used properly, the Bain jokes can still be funny. Sort of how a properly placed Harvey joke can still be funny.

From what I hear, ICoach has bain looking for a big nasty guy. Might prove to be our man, or he may just turn out to be the bane of our DL.

No. He does have a case of monster knees, though.

Judge's awards?

!0, 10, 9, 8.5, 9.5, 10

Statement feigns failure to grasp significance of previous post, but presentation makes it clear message was received. Excellent work.

So far the similarities are scary. Defensive player, coming from a bIG tEN program, full ride to sit out a year. Keep this kid away from health food stores.

Exactly. Some people here are waaaaaaaay too touchy.

I'm sure he meant that in the most friendly manner possible. Sounds like a term of endearment to me.
