Davis got less playing this year than last and we are bringing in more defensive backs. Molette was more of a surprise for me.

Makes me wonder how long Malcom has been talking to Michigan State since he just entered the portal last week. What kind of relationship can you develop in 6 days or maybe it is just hyperbole?
Lots of the guys we've gotten have also been in the portal for only a week or so. There might also be past relationships from HS recruiting.

My take on all this is that there is obviously conversation had between the school and the player/reps at some point near the end of the season. A player will declare when they know offers are out there that they want and cash is available. Some players enter the portal without a plan, but players who end up at P4 schools have already had previous contact, IMO. However, there is plenty of current game film on someone like Bell and it's at the FBS level, not HS football like recruits. So it doesn't take as long to analyze if the kid fits or not.

or... we go to the obvious and know they've probably been talking for quite awhile

He was honored on Senior Day so I would assume he already knew he was going to portal well before he formally entered the portal.

Looks like Bell is gone, in case there was anyone who thought we had a chance. Not saying he's going to UM but schools this big with interest make him out of reach.
Well, it was fun while it lasted, Michigan's NIL can make our NIL look like NULL.

Dear Santa, what I really want for Christmas is a clutch wide receiver, that's all...and maybe a QB who can throw to him. Thanks Santa.

Could it be that he wants to see where he stands with other teams or could he possibly feel that he was NIL'd over with several LBs coming in?
They all need to adjust. They’ll always be recruited over. Coach would face malpractice if they didn’t. NIL isn’t with the school, of so I’m told.

Wait, what? Didn’t his dad rave about program this year?
Wow, he is one of few experienced defenders returning, damn hate to see him leave as a Cowboy fan I was a big fan of his Dad. Hopefully, he is just looking for some more NIL love from us, and returns like Yates.
