Malik McDowell (DL Cleveland Browns)

That was one of the weirdest announcements ever. He looks like his dog just died. I understand this has to be quite an emotional day for him and his family but I would have expected him to be a little more excited with picking MSU since it seems it's where HE wanted to go.

Best of luck to him though!

From the time he took a seat, arms folded and regularly looking up and down at his parents, very nervous and awkward moment for him. It's not going to be pleasant in the McDowell household for few days. Even longer if things don't work out in East Lansing.

Wish th kid best of luck though.

Malik McDowell yet to send in his letter of intent to Michigan State. Mama McDowell hoarding all of the fax machines in Southfield?

Haha...I changed the thread title to Verbal as opposed to Signee until there was confirmation...maybe this saga isn't over yet?

Glad for McDowell. Ultimately he should attend the school he wants. He's the one who has to spend 3-5 years there, not his parents. MSU is a good place. I'm embarrassed for his parents and they way they publicly called out their own son over this.

It isn't sour grapes when I say this, but I didn't want him here if this isn't a place where he wanted to be. The Buckeyes never would have got the best out of him under those circumstances.

Based on his mom's concerns, it seems like there are some red flags that would likely be heightened if he was coerced into going someplace he doesn't want to.

@rivalsmike: Looks like the impasse continues in the McDowell family, source told me letter hasn't been signed and @JoshHelmholdt has confirmed.

Apparently he signed a blank piece of paper this morning instead of a NLI. I saw a link earlier, but can't find it now. Needless to say, this isn't over.
