Malik McDowell

The atmosphere at Michigan and Notre Dame's D-Line play were two things that stuck out for McDowell over the weekend.

Detroit (Mich.) Loyola’s touted junior DL Malik McDowell visited both Michigan and Michigan State on Saturday for their games against Massachusetts and Notre Dame.

He is a big dude. Looks like ND has their foot in the door. Some times that's all it takes. Will he stay a d-lineman with that size and potential of getting bigger?

Yeah he could easily be a DE in 4-3 or 3-4 defensive scheme. ND has the premier defensive line in the midwest. UM has some catching up to do.

He certainly will help either team, but Michigan needs him more at this point.

Never thought MSU was a real threat for McDowell, but ND definitely is. We need him much more than they do and he is right in our backyard. He is the #1 guy on my wish list for 2014. If we lose him to ND my head will explode.

Agreed with all points.

As Steve said, Malik plans on playing defense. But as you alluded to, I think he could be an elite offensive tackle if he put his mind to it.

If McDowell can walk away from his home state, that also includes a phenomenal D-Coordinator, a Head Coach that works w/ the D-Line, and a bunch of momentum from the past 2 recruiting classes... i'd be absolutely stunned.

Too bad for all of us. It sounds like MSU managed to turn McDowell's visit into a ND recruiting event.
Once he got the run around on campus and the visit started going bad, I think Dantonio decided to throw the game and help ND's chances.
Thats just a joke.

I was always unclear why MSU thought they had a chance with McDowell. I am sure he is considering them, but the level is one notch below UM and ND. I believe I was ridiculed previously for stating McDowell had ND as an option. People never learn.

One explanation was Malik's personality. I had read that the lower profile of MSU was actually considered a selling point in his recruitment.

Stop it! Sparty will take this and run with it until the spin is all about how Dantonio threw the game to keep McDowell away from UM! You know that sarcasm is lost on the vast majority of the unwashed RCMB heathens!

Whats funny is the fact that you guys even think Sparty cares one bit about McDowell. He's ENTIRELY too local for their tastes.

Dantonio's moved on to mining the recruiting gold mine of the former USSR.

Literally.
Russian miners are the new Australian bodybuilders.

This came from MSU board posters. Similar to D. Webb, I more concerned with who has not offered yet. ND has become a player rapidly, and a loss to them this Saturday will not break us, but it will add to the drama of him and ND.

Meh. We thought beating ND last year would help with Elmer. It just made him realize how much he wanted ND to win that game and he committed to ND shortly after.
