My source did not know if any of the signees were playing in the games. BTW, you will also see MSU quarterback Wayne Madkin in pickup games quite often.

If you see them, let them know you support them and are looking forward to next season. BTW, don't be surprised to see at least one of our newest recruits, Antonio Jackson, playing in the games. The word is he is a good shooter but needs to add some strength in preparing for the rigors of the SEC.
