Michigan State commit Max Christie was named to the 2021 USA Nike Hoop Summit Team tonight and becomes the first Spartan commit to participate in the event since Jaren Jackson Jr. did in 2017. Christie is joined by other top 2021 prospects like Chet Holmgren, Jaden Hardy, Patrick Baldwin Jr., Hunter Sallis, Jabari Smith, Peyton Watson and a few other players.

Top players like Zion Williamson, Cade Cunningham, and Michael Porter Jr. have been apart of this team in years past. Christie and the USA team will face off against the World select team sometime in April in Portland, Oregon.  The United State currently boast 15-7 record over the World team.

Christie continues to expand his resume which already includes making the McDonald’s All-American Game roster. Christie, by the time he gets on campus, he will be a very decorated man and will look to be a key player for the Spartans for years to come.

Oklahoma offers four-star CB recruit Malik Muhammad

The Oklahoma Sooners offer another four-star cornerback in Malik Muhammad of the 2023 recruiting cycle.

The Oklahoma Sooners are among several top schools that made an offer for four-star recruit, Malik Muhammad. The Florida native would add length to the cornerback position in Alex Grinch’s system. Muhammad would be a tough opponent against elite receivers in the Big 12.

The 6-0, 170-pound corner does a stellar job jamming at the line of scrimmage and playing the ball not the receiver. Great instincts and route recognition. Possesses outstanding ball-tracking ability to undercut passes. His lean build lends to an excellent high-point ability working over-the-top of receivers. His competitive nature would make an outstanding addition to OU’s secondary.

Former Oklahoma target gets released from Letter of Intent

Former Oklahoma Sooners target in the 2021 class, Kendal Daniels of Beggs, Oklahoma, has been released from his LOI with Texas A&M.

The recruiting trail for the 2021 class doesn’t appear to be over just yet. According to multiple reports former Oklahoma Sooners target, Kendal Daniels has been released from his LOI with the Texas A&M Aggies. Daniels is a four-star recruit and one of the top safeties in the country according to his 247Sports profile. The Oklahoma native is likely back on the radar for the Sooners defense.

Daniels is the No. 1 player out of the state of Oklahoma and his profile shows that the Sooners, as well as the Oklahoma State Cowboys, are at the top of the list for him. It would be quite an addition to the 2021 recruiting cycle for Lincoln Riley and Alex Grinch. Daniels would be another defensive back that could find his way into the rotation in 2021 and beyond.

Texas Football Recruiting: Where the Longhorns’ six decommits ended up

4-Star DT Rayshaun Benny flips commitment to Michigan

The class of 2021 took a big hit when 4-star DT Rayshaun Benny announced he has flipped from Michigan State to in-state rival Michigan.

[jwplayer mKgJ519R-PROpJzTY]

The class of 2021 took a big hit when 4-star defensive tackle Rayshaun Benny announced he has flipped from Michigan State and has committed with in-state rival Michigan. Benny flipped to Michigan State a few months ago, but has now decided to return to Michigan on National Signing Day.

Over the past few days, rumors were floating that Benny was going to go back to Michigan after they hired Ron Bellamy as their wide receivers coach. Bellamy helped lead West Bloomfield to a Division 1 State Championship a few weeks ago.

Benny, who is 6’5″ and weighs 275-pounds, is ranked as the No. 195 player in the class of 2021 and the No. 16 defensive tackle by 247sports. Benny will look to be a factor on the inside of the defensive line for years to come, unfortunately it won’t be at Michigan State.

The good news is that Michigan State did get a commitment from two-sport athlete, and 4-star wide receiver Keon Coleman. Check out all the other class of 2021 recruits who have signed for Michigan State right here.

Five-star Fisher shows he’s ready to make waves for Notre Dame football

The highest rated incoming Notre Dame football recruit, offensive tackle Blake Fisher, is working hard to make an early impact for the Irish.

[jwplayer UVDKFHLl-er0jUifI]

The highest-rated 2021 Notre Dame commit isn’t taking it easy right now, as offensive tackle Blake Fisher is showing he is ready to make an impact when he arrives to South Bend.

Fisher surely seen a prime opportunity for himself and along with fellow ‘21 signee guard Rocco Spindler to to make an impact early and often for the Irish. With just one returning offensive lineman, center Jarrett Patterson, four spots will up for grabs this coming season.

The Indiana native has everything that you are looking for in a tackle prospect, elite size at six-foot-six-inches and 336-pounds, fantastic footwork, a nasty streak and a hard-workers mentality. One could argue that his current reported weight is incorrect, as the video above makes Fisher look much leaner than he did during his final high school season.

The expectations are high for Fisher, but I feel like he has the capability to meet them. Everyone should be excited about the prospect of Fisher’s career while he dons the Blue and Gold.
