Spring has sprung in Mom's Basement and the future has never, ever been brighter. Thank god CMFT is here to rescue the program from that previous coach (what's his name anyway??). CMFT is like underdog and is here to save the day. To understand his strategy, we need to look at his house cleaning. And he brought a can of gas and a lighter. To properly cover the Sparty roster, it has to be done in 3 posts. The transfers out, the transfers in, and the recruits.
He left no MAC-offer sheet level scholarship player unturned. And some of their very few 4-5 stars left because they should have only had MAC offer sheets.
CMFT brought his True Spartan Dawg this offseason.
From a players perspective, they did their part.
Part I: Beam me out Scottie!
The Dirty Dozens
I do miss you Mike. You signed dozens of kids who you knew were not P5 quality. All the while you were counting down the time till your 4M bonus got deposited.
Mike don't care, his check cleared. Lawsuits dropped. The circle is complete.
In the next Mom's basement post, I will cover the new guys who entered into the 'Shed and we will be seeing this year. Actually, I have no idea who we will be seeing this year. But I will post about it anyway.

The Dirty Dozens
- Rocky Lombardi, QB - N. Illinois. - WQETBM: Worst Quarterback Ever to Beat Michigan and that includes that backup Purdue WR against Gerg's 3-3-5. Only offer was Northern Illinois. Says it all. He beat us. That also says more than I want to admit.
- Julian Barnett, WR, DB, PR - Memphis - Most talented player on Spartahh's roster whose mind/spirit was broken by being desperately thrown into gaping holes around the lineup. Got fat, slow and a bad attitude. Memphis was the best option he had? That is sad.
- Devonte Dobbs, OL messiah - Memphis - The OL 5 star version of Derrick Green. Awful talent evaluation, slow twitch, got embarrassed at camps and was better than his game performance. Rivals never admitted to their mistake. CMFG did. Bye Devonte. We hardly knew yeee.
- Anthony Williams, RB - Akron. Another Dantni flier offer he made while he was checking deposit dates for his bonus check. Dantni got his, looks like Akron now got theirs
- Max Rosenthal, RB, TE, FB.- Illinois I am not even going to google him. Too much effort. He landed at Illinois. Says more about the state of their program than anything
- Andre Welsh, RB, WR, - UDFA. No idea who he is other than he got a varsity letter, entered into the portal and disappeared into the same place those miscellaneous. landing party guys disappear to on early Star Trek.
- Jeslord Boatang, LB, Akron. Another example of soul crushed recruiting from Danti. Boateng played a bit, realized that all those MAC offers he had in high school were right. He had no business playing in P5 football.(editors note, his first name is straight up awesome. Too bad my son is 22 and likes his name. Still, I will suggest a change).
- Luke Fulton, LB - Kentucky. Dantni was always to identify skilled, violent guys. And true to form Fulton didn't make it through training camp before getting assault charges filed against him. Buh bye.
- Chris Jackson, CB - Washington State. 3 star kid who left the team for "undisclosed reasons" and ejected through the portal.
- Tre'von Morgan, WR - Kentucky. One of the rare 4 star recruits in Dantni's last few classes. 6' 7" kid who couldn't get any time in an awful receivers room. Good luck at Kentucky...
- Charles Willekes, LB - UDFA. Claim to fame is being the brother of the best Sparty walkon of all time, Kenny. He got arrested before is first year for assault. A true Spartan Dawg who never got his shot.
- Marcel Lewis, LB - CMU. 3 star kid who couldn't play P5 football. He was part of the CMFT purge.
- Davion Williams, CB - Western Kentucky. A 3 star kid with some offers. Couldn't get any PT and didn't want to wait. May have been Dantni's top in-state recruit that year, which is why I never heard of him.
- Javez Alexander, WR, UDFA. 2 star kid who picked Spartahhh over Air Force, Army, Bowling Green and Holy Cross. That is how bad Dantni's recruiting was. Why does a kid transfer when he could at least get a degree, even an MSU one.
- Dominique Long, S, UDFA. He played 4 games over 4 years. CMFT had no room when he could get new blood in the portal.
- Jack Bouwmeester, P - UDFA. Punter. Had a 'ship. CMFT took like zero seconds to clear out his locker.
- Jack Olson, K - Brown. Had a 'ship. CMFT probably used the same set of boxes to clean out the kickers lockers at the same time.
- Justin Stevens, OL, South Alabama. He opted out of 2020 and then transferred. South Alabama seems to be the level of program for a '18, '19 Dantni recruit.
- Damon Kaylor, OL - Ball State. More Dantni road kill processed from the program by CMFT
- Chris Mayfield, DT -The Ohio University Bobcats. If this is starting to look like a broken record where CMFT blows out awful Dantni recruits, then you are getting the picture.
- DeAri Todd, DT - UDFA. Grad Transfer. Good for him, as he got a degree before realizing he couldn't make football a career.
- Tommy Guarjardo, TE- Bowling Green. Wash, rinse, repeat. Not a P5 talent.
- Devin Hightower, LB - Cincinatti. My fingers are cramping from all this typing... He at least landed at a sort of better school
- Jasiyah Robinson, LB - East Carolina. My right index finger can't type anymore. I am thankful this is the last person on the list.
- Theo Day, QB- Northern Iowa. At one point, he was the savior for Rocky. Until he actually played when the real Theo Day took the field. He gone
