BTN Bus Tour #Spartans This is the only team in B1G we've covered from yr 1 to yr 6 – MD has done an unbelievable job building this program

BTN Bus Tour #Spartans – MSU the only team in B1G that you evaluate as a championship team whereas you didn't 6 yrs ago - impressive growth
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Spartans – Last yr. MSU ranked 11th in rushing in B1G – getting to the middle of the B1G in 2012 is a key to success

BTN Bus Tour #Spartans -Today was MSU 21st practice – a lot of camp legs on field – they're getting a couple of days rest soon – much needed
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Spartans Deep team – some young guys that stood out – J.Allen, S. Calhoun, D.Cox, D. Arnett, T. Jones, D. Clark.

— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Spartans – Thought Larry Caper had a good day – didn't look like he had tired legs
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Spartans – Andrew Maxwell very strong arm will take some time to get totally on same page with WR – always does with new QB/WR
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Spartans WR group talented need game exp. but much better than in spg Fowler had very good day & sounds like a very good camp
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Spartans 1 of the best things about the defensive unit is their depth – again its a result of 6 years of MD building a program
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Spartans – Love their non-conference schedule – it will tell us where they are at the QB position and run game before B1G play
— Gerry DiNardo (@gerrydinardo) August 23, 2012
BTN Bus Tour #Spartans -Something has to happen on offense – either run game gets better or over achieve at QB/WR – still need great defense

Tom Dienhart
Talked to #Spartans WR coach Terrence Samuels. Says Fowler and Lippett have stood out. Says he has 6-7 WRs he likes. #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
#Spartans d line coach Ted Gill told me Reynolds would start at DT next to White if there was a game today. #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
WR coach Terrence Samuels told me true frosh Macgarrett Kings could play a role this fall. #Spartans #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
There he is, America: the best DE in the nation: William Gholston! #Spartans #B1G pic.twitter.com/CReNNQHV
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
Darien Harris and Taiwan Jones are two other good looking LBs. #Spartans #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
Former #Spartans and longtime NFL assistant Sherm Lewis is at practice. #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
Kurtis Drummond is running with the first team today at FS. #B1G #Spartans
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
DE Shilique Calhoun is a physical specimen who could be special. Just a RS Frosh #Spartans #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
DT Anthony Rashad White is every bit of 330 pounds. Looks like he was poured into his uniform. #Spartans #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
In 3 wide sets, Keith Mumphery lines up with Fowler and Lippett. Macgarrett Kings running with the twos. #Spartans #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
Lots of TEs shuffling: Paul Lang, Derek Hoebing, Andrew Gleichert, Evan Jones. #Spartans #B1G
— Tom Dienhart (@TomDienhart1) August 22, 2012
The only group of d-linemen I have seen better than this was at #OhioState. But there isn't much of a difference. #Spartans #B1G

Depth on the #Spartans DLine is impressive – lot of big guys who can really move. Obviously, Gholston stands out – but really Good overall
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 22, 2012
Watching #Spartans wide receivers – most obvious candidate to step up and have a big yr is Fowler. Looks great. Caesar – nice frame.
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 22, 2012
Easy to see why #Spartans coaches have been raving about Shilique Calhoun. Really athletic.Wouldn't surprise me if he becomes a star in B1G
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 22, 2012
Jairis Jones out with the 1's at safety for the #Spartans
— Dave Revsine (@BTNDaveRevsine) August 22, 2012
Lawrence Thomas – another guy who could help #Spartans at DE. Lots of talent on D. Jamal Lyles looks good too.
