Michigan State touting NFL talent coming back for Spartan summer camps
If the branding of Michigan State football were not already clear, it should be now that plans are coming into focus for the Spartans June 13 camp.
MLive.com reports the confirmed contributors include more than a half dozen recent Spartans who have gone through East Lansing en route to a place many of those high schoolers who plan to attend the camp likely want to be: the NFL.
Max Bullough, William Gholston, Dion Sims, Bennie Fowler and Tony Lippett are among the players director of college advancement and performance Curtis Blackwell told Lansing radio station 92.1 will be taking part in the camp.
For good measure, Blackwell also added another statement that is hard to see as anything other than a shot over the bow in the direction of Ann Arbor.
"A lot of people can advertise and get other guests in to their camps, but we have home-grown talent that has come through the Spartan nation and knows the lay of the land," Blackwell told 92.1, per MLive.com. "They can come back and be coaches at the camp and help us in terms of talking about what it is to be a Spartan and how we develop players."
Translation: new Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has put together a staff with lots of ties to the NFL and is having a camp that will include a bunch of former quarterbacks from various parts of the country, but he hasn't done anything in Ann Arbor yet. Mark Dantonio has been at helm of Michigan's in-state rival since 2007 and made good use of that head start by proving he can win and send players to the NFL.
