Scout $ - Rock talks ND

This story originally published on IrishEyes.com

Rock left South Bend impressed by the tradition, atmosphere, and coaches of the ND program after his visit for the Southern Cal game. He sees differences (vague response) from an OSU game day but thinks they're comparable. His offers include Notre Dame, West Virginia, Pitt, Cincy, Duke, Stanford, and scUM.

2011 - wheres the beef?

Chris Rock is a name that came up early. He has a very impressive offer list, more impressive than either Clark or Bennett, but right now I fully agree with the decision by the staff to hold off. He looks great on the hoof and is a great looking athlete but has not yet been the player he should be based on the raw tools. He might be a better fit at strong side end anyway which changes how he will be recruited.

Ohio will be key again for MSU
Posted: Feb. 27, 2010
By MATT DORSEY

Since being hired at Michigan State back in November of 2006, Mark Dantonio has made recruiting the state of Ohio a top priority.

Other coaches like John L. Smith and Nick Saban also recruited there, but Dantonio has taken it to another level. Nearly 30 percent of the players signed by Michigan State since Dantonio's arrival played their high school ball in Ohio. That percentage is higher than any other Big Ten school -- except for Ohio State, of course.

Michigan State has recently extended scholarships offers to several Ohio players they are prioritizing for the class of 2011.

Mark Givler, who covers recruiting for OhioVarsity.com, recently stated that the players that Dantonio has offered from the Buckeye State are "impressive" and he expects Michigan State to sign "another strong group from Ohio."

Here's a look at a few of his preseason top-ranked players that Michigan State is currently pursuing:

No. 12: DE Chris Rock of Saint Francis DeSales High School
Last year, Michigan State was able to land highly touted two-way lineman Travis Jackson from DeSales School. In 2011, it hopes to bring his teammate up to East Lansing. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Rock is known for his physical play and knowledge of the game.

Scout $ - Road Trip Ahead
By Allen Wallace of SuperPrep.com, Posted Mar 15, 2010

Rock is quoted as saying Ohio State is not recruiting him because they already have two DEs committed... Notre Dame & _ichigan are his leaders but he'll know more after his visits in the Spring... No time table provided...

There is always one Ohio guy I am really disappointed to see us not recruit and Rock may be it this year (Dailey in '07, Zebrie Sanders in '08, Toussaint in '09, Donnal in '10). I like both of Hayes and Miller better, but I think Rock could end up at DE, DT, OT, or a blocking TE. However, with an imminent verbal from Farris being recruited at DE, I doubt he will get any more looks from us.

None of those players you mentioned, including Rock, are going to be missed on our D or O lines. I wouldn't trade any of our guys for one guy on your list. They didn't get offers for valid reasons I'm sure. I like the big athletic guys the staff is now looking at, none of those you mentioned were really impressive even in HS. And wasn't Sanders the bonehead that stood still on the play for FSU, lol?

disagree to the point that I was considering name calling, but since this is the recruiting forum I won't

Rock is going to be an excellent football player wherever he ends up, there is no need to say things that aren't true (they weren't even that impressive in high school) based purely on blind homerism
