Official visit weekend No. 2 is in the books for Michigan State football and here’s your Chopalytics recap.
Better late than ever this week, am I right? Contrary to popular belief, I do have another job and that job hailed the highly sought after skills of the ChopMan. Therefore, I was on the road the first couple days this week. I apologize for absolutely ‘explicative’ nothing.

Recap
Felt like we started to see a ton more media coming out of this official visit weekend. The switch up from photo shoots with cars to a throne was a good change. Each and every recruit looked like kings of the Woodshed and I’m sure the staff made them feel like it throughout the entire weekend. Could you imagine if your creative team held a photoshoot where the recruits jumped on glass with cleats on? Couldn’t be me. And lastly, in typical Mel Tucker fashion, coach showed out with swag unmatched by any college football coach in the history of the world.
One thing I absolutely need to talk about is the subtle touch of throwing the NBA Finals on the big screens during those photo shoots. A) I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before and B) the ability to show up differently than other schools is getting me excited about this new recruiting staff. I’m sure the kids loved that little accent to the visit.
In regards to momentum, MSU seems to have picked up steam with a couple kids coming out of this weekend. Both four-star players Anthony ‘Scoota’ Carrie and Reggie Powers picked up predictions to become Spartan Dawgs. Scoota was seen on a tour with Tucker riding around campus in the coach’s Slingshot (which I’m considering a scooter on steroids).
And Powers cancelled his other official visits on Sunday. The unique thing about Powers is that he’s an Ohio kid and has been heavily sought after by Ohio State. Instead of being outscored 157-39 the last three years, tack an extra point on for the good guys. Take that, Ryan Day.
Chopalytics Prediction Machine:
Unfortunately, there has been a bug in the Chopalytics Prediction Machine (CPM) for the last week and our IT department is working furiously to get this fixed. However, because of this, the CPM will not be producing any graphics this week. Sorry, not sorry.
Congrats to the Nuggets and @saltysparty,
ChopMan
