2017 Verbal: Michael Tutsie

[Bison20]

This kid is going to be a great safety, hard hitter and good tackler. Hopefully he can bring lots of competition from day one and make everyone better.

Why is that? Never know what will happen injury wise. That new rule would make it very tempting to plug in freshman during the playoffs to build up depth at positions struck by late season injuries.

The comment was many could see playing time. Maybe 1 or 2, but doubtful a coach would play a freshman in the playoff's when they've never played before.

Special Teams. Take a shot on a kid returning kicks, etc. Never know when a true freshman helps you spark a playoff win against your hated rival without your star QB.

There is this program in Indiana called Notre Dame. Not what they once were, but they hit Indiana hard.

Notre Dame recruits nationally. I don't think they focus on Indiana any more than any other state. They just happen to exist here. They are in the northern part of the state so in relation to Indy they are might as well be in Michigan.

Might give some freshmen some reps in the MVSU game.

Nothing like being a Bison!

x = 3......

[Bison20]

x = 3......

Is that a for sure rule or do they still need to vote on it. I wouldn't be suprised to see this kid push for playing time early in his career. All about learning the defense.
