East Lansing is Rockford with a Big Ten college attached.

That's an insult to Rockford...

[tower912]

I guess its a matter of opinion. Hey?
Detroit imo is a cesspool
So is east lansing which is what this is about

Fwiw I know a bunch of people from Michigan that share my sentiments
All of my extended family Is from Michigan

I actually go to those places. 

[Let's Go Warriors]

I actually go to those places. 

I do as well.

Just not by choice....

I've been to East Lancing. It ain't exactly Malibu.

You know what else ain't exactly Malibu?

South Bend. Hartford. Manhattan (the KS one). Lawrence. Cincinnati. Iowa City. Champaign.

Oh, and Milwaukee ain't Malibu, either.

Izzo has done OK getting kids to go to not-Malibu!

So he is taking an official visit to Chicago State......

Seems kind of silly for the school to waste its time......

MSU has an idyllic college campus. It is completed self contained small city, with the Red Cedar River running through the middle of it. The football stadium is set right in the middle of it and there are very few campuses that can compare. A small part of East Lansing, Grand River Avenue, abuts it for the college town experience.  MSU has never had a problem selling there campus to recruits for any sports. The icing on the cake is it historically has had the best looking women in the Big Ten.  Izzo and Heathcoate before him have only one mission which is to execute with the talent that they get.

I doubt that campus setting is a big factor in the school choice in this situation. If it was Wisconsin UNC Duke would have been on the final list. 

The reality is this comes down to Wojo versus Izzo and Cal.  The advantage we have is the parents have extensive experience in recruiting and can really sort out the fact from the fiction.   Wojo was astute enough to get Wally on board, and now he just has to demonstrate that we have more upside and less risk for Henry.

Sorry, UW's campus is completely overrated. Was there about a year ago and was unimpressed. A lot of construction and a crappy neighborhood immediately on the west side of campus. Living in the middle of PAC-12 country, I'll take any of our campuses out here. As far as the women....c'mon, do I really need to say more?

Maybe you should change your screen name then, hey?

MSU is a stellar campus, I've been to all those B1G schools west of Ohio and I'd put it top. Northwestern second. Purdue last.

And I'd put it far behind Cal, UCLA, Washington, and Colorado.

Anyway...to each his own.

Probably.

Yes Cal and Washington Better. UCLA similar and Colorado not really, it is  full of ugly cement buildings ( obviously the scenery cant be beat).  I have been to all the Pac Ten campus and generally agree that they are great and you can't beat the weather.

What the hell is being discussed on this thread. Do much for Henry ellenson.

What exactly would you like to discuss? Is Ellenson a stud recruit? Yes. Is he visiting MSU this weekend? Yes. Does he visit MU next weekend? Yes. Will he be at UK's Midnight Madness? Yes.

There you go. We just covered it all.

Exactly so let's discuss cities on a thread not called Henry Ellenson.

Clearly not the same Rockford that this famous Warrior is from.

For that is a pretty nice place.

If players were picking schools based on the women on campus Arizona St. would be a national power.

Don't you be selling Chicago State short...

"The Cougars' 13 victories were the fourth most by a CSU team during the Cougars' 30-year Division I existence. The Cougars' marquee victory in 2013-14 came at home over eventual WAC Tournament Champion and NCAA participant New Mexico State. CSU topped the Aggies 88-81 for Chicago State's first ever win over a team with a top 100 RPI ranking."

Can a drop DePaul, add Chicago State movement be far off?
