OT: Hunter Rison to Transfer
http://www.mlive.com/spartans/index.ssf/2018/01/michigan_state_wr_hunte…
According to his father Andre Rison, MSU wide receivier Hunter Rison will transfer due to not "fitting the system" and "lack of playing time".
I don't really understand this, he contributed decently as a true freshman. I guess it is good for MSU to avoid a Lavar Ball situation.

Who?
January 8th, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
Exactly
January 8th, 2018 at 7:01 PM ^
haven’t seen a true frosh that played in 12 games complaining about playing time since?*
January 8th, 2018 at 7:01 PM ^
doesn't burn any bridges on the way out. Too soon?
January 8th, 2018 at 7:30 PM ^
Don't go chasing waterfalls
January 8th, 2018 at 8:11 PM ^
This joke is terrible, you scrub, and you get no love from me...
January 8th, 2018 at 8:12 PM ^
Let's talk about sex, baby... Let's talk about you and me.
January 8th, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
Wrong group.
January 8th, 2018 at 8:46 PM ^
I wasn't continuing the theme... lol
January 9th, 2018 at 1:57 AM ^
I'm down to clown
January 9th, 2018 at 10:08 AM ^
Once you go clown, you'll always go down!
January 8th, 2018 at 9:11 PM ^
He ain’t 2 proud 2 beg now.... for playing time.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:58 PM ^
I dunno about his girlfriend, But I know his dad doesn't want him to be a scrub.
January 9th, 2018 at 9:16 AM ^
Was it something his dad did once upon a time?
January 9th, 2018 at 10:29 AM ^
No, but is she the one that died?
January 9th, 2018 at 11:53 AM ^
Sadly, yes.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
Can he get into Michigan and bring his dad as WR coach?
January 8th, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
You should have Left (Eye) this joke out
January 8th, 2018 at 8:06 PM ^
Red Lock Special, all through the night.
January 8th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
Lisa "left turn" Lopez. Show some respect
January 9th, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Dude.....come on.
January 9th, 2018 at 3:12 AM ^
I bet garde ain't too proud to beg.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:02 PM ^
Such a WR move. He played a good bit and yet not enough for him.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:51 PM ^
...thought he had been benched when MSU's defense was on the field and he wasn't getting any touches.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:04 PM ^
I’m not sure what more he could have asked for out of MSU’s “system”.
Lewerke threw the ball 40 times a game and has 2 years of eligibility left.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:20 PM ^
It doesn't pass the smell test
January 8th, 2018 at 7:04 PM ^
Pass.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:06 PM ^
Wasn't he one of their top WR? Makes no sense to me
January 8th, 2018 at 7:21 PM ^
Rison was a distant 4th among WRs in terms of Rec Yds. #3 guy is a frosh who had more than twice as many yards.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:19 PM ^
He's a legacy at MSU, so surprised he didn't stick. Expectations seem a bit out of whack, as he caught 19 balls as a freshman, but perhaps he didn't see that changing much going forward. He didn't seem to be on the field a lot (again, not surprising b/c he was a freshman).
I saw him in high school at Ann Arbor Skyline a couple times (he made some impressive plays -- not DPJ level, but still clearly D1 level) and the offense was so rudimentary it was bad -- it was basically, "Go deep -- I'll find you." Whenever he played a decent team, he'd be double-teamed and sure enough, every 4th or 5th pass, it seemed to be picked off.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:24 PM ^
In a sign of how much football has changed in the last 40 years, Anthony Carter had 17 receptions in his freshman year.
It may also be a sign that Hunter Rison is a naive kid getting terrible advice from a knucklehead father.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:30 PM ^
College QBs throw 400-600 passes a year nowadays. Rick Leach and John Wangler threw it about 150 times a year. We can't expect college freshman to care about how Kirk Gibson or Anthony Carter did it; it's a very different game.
And upon reading the Mlive article, I don't know if the advice is terrible -- it's quite possible he would have sat at #2 on the depth chart for the next two years, as MSU's receiving corps is as young as ours. So even if he performs well, there are only so many balls to go around.
Again, I'm surprised he wouldn't stay, but if he wants to catch 50-plus balls a year (and he seems talented enough to do it), MSU might not be the place for him.
January 8th, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
He is behind F White S Felton and J Felton. He thinks he better than more than one of them.
Sadly his stats were similar to DPJ.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
he must have been treating women with respect, going to class, and not being a racist to have not fit in anymore.
January 8th, 2018 at 8:01 PM ^
Can we get rid of shit like this from this blog, or will this continue to be weaved into our culture?
It's not like we haven't had some of those same types affiliated with our program.
January 8th, 2018 at 8:39 PM ^
MSU currently has 4 players in the judicial system for rape. One had 2 offenses BEFORE they signed him. They have consistently fielded a roster with multiple players in deep shit - it's not an isolated incident but a clear pattern by Dantonio to keep "characters" on the roster.
UM has the occasional issue with 105 college-age males, but there is a clear difference in behavioral standards.
January 8th, 2018 at 10:11 PM ^
"Some of those same types"
Why do you even keep track of the players who have made bad decisions at that school? The only time I care about sparty's players is the week leading up to our game against them or when one decides to leave the program, otherwise so fuckin what?
January 8th, 2018 at 11:37 PM ^
“Let’s not compare programs like that because we have as many problems as them”
“Actually, if you compare them, MSU has a lot more and it seems to be a systematic problem with Dantonio”
“I don’t even know why you keep track of them. It’s totally not worth the time”
Did you just contradict yourself in two consecutive posts?
January 17th, 2018 at 8:08 AM ^
No, actually I didn't. You obviously lack comprehension skills.
January 9th, 2018 at 1:16 PM ^
This is moral high ground bullshit. Lewan & Gibbons, off the top of my head, made our program look bad. Our team just got in a yelling match a week ago over bowling.
Get off your high horse, it's not a good look.
January 8th, 2018 at 7:16 PM ^
Son. What should we expect?
January 8th, 2018 at 7:23 PM ^
Don't go chasing waterfalls...please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to...
January 8th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
I'm surprised "playing time" is his reason, since he played in 12 games and caught 19 balls. Toward the end of the year, he certainly was a part of their (admittedly rickety) passing offense.
I have to believe there is something else going on here.
January 8th, 2018 at 10:37 PM ^
MSU was #17 in passing S&P, they were quite good. Bad on the ground, #66
January 8th, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
Am I missing something? He played pretty decent as a freshman. Does he want to come here? And considering how good his dad was at MSU, what a bizzare situation.
January 8th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
he watched our passing offense this year, no, he doesn’t want to come here.
