Class of 2016 No. 1 overall recruit Vince Howard (Dillon, TX) appeared on “The Dan Patrick Show” on Wednesday and announced his commitment to Michigan State. It was something of a surprise choice for the QB, who, based on the writing on the wall, appeared to be Austin-bound.
Even more perplexing, Howard misidentified his future coach, Mark Dantonio, as “D’Antoni”, which should get his tenure in East Lansing off to a rocky start (to say nothing of how Dantonio was able to recruit him out of state despite Howard not knowing his name). That might speak less about Dantonio’s interesting recruiting skills than it does about a young man getting flustered in the spotlight for the first time.
