Additionally, MSU AD Bill Beekman was scheduled to fly from Cincinnati to State College, PA to interview a Penn State assistant, but instead Beekman flew straight back to East Lansing after meeting with Luke Fickell in Cincy.


Report: Plane for Luke Fickell interview heading back to MSU






And per the story linked by belcherboy above, Fickell is apparently bringing to MSU his defensive coordinator and his 4-star QB recruit as a transfer. Supposedly Fickell spoke with Magic Johnson last night.... methinks Magic Johnson did some 'boosting' to get all three of them to come to East Lansing.

Fickell is starting to pull 4 star kids in that tiny area. I don't think MSU has any. It would be a lateral move, but Power 5 is Power 5. Money talks.

Tiny?

Cincy area football has a lot of talent

That really sucks for Cincinnati, but money talks. Prater was the highest-rated QB to ever commit to a G5 school. Too bad they'll not get to see him play in front of his hometown fans.

Talk about Coombs going down to Cincy if Fickell leaves. That would suck

Maybe I'm being overly-optimistic, but I don't know that he would do that to OSU. Then again, I didn't think Fickell would leave for MSU, so who the hell knows.

Yeah, I didn't think mSU (right now) was a job that Fickell would leave for either.

Yeah, but can any of these teams beat the Gramercy Park Riffs?

Don't feel bad, MSU. You aren't even close to the first program spurned by Luke Fickell and fam.

The biggest and only P5, I think, but definitely not the first.

The campus culture was the main reason he turned it down. The lawsuits and the issues surrounding the program.

Hard to argue.
No doubt. As great as a coach that Dantonio was for MSU, turning the program around. He really drove it into the ground before leaving and then screwed them over by waiting to leave a day before signing day.

This means more than what it appears to be. What a statement from Cincinnati. Not a stepping stone program anymore.
