WELCOME to the 'CatConnection, MSU Sports Information's first official dalliance with the blogosphere! We're always open to suggestions, questions, comments and, if offered kindly, corrections. This week we'll keep tabs on men's basketball recruiting, the football spring game, and whatever else pops up. Thanks, and Go Cats!

As MSU's men's basketball coaches continue to scour the country for the last piece(s) of the 2009-10 recruiting class, here are a couple leftover thoughts from last week's NLI signing day...
* Jourdain Allou, originally from Africa's Ivory Coast, becomes the third native of that continent to play basketball for the Bobcats in the past seven seasons. In that regard, Allou has big shoes to fill. Al Beye and Divaldo Mbunga, like Allou both inside players, combined for 1,181 points, 643 rebounds, and 193 blocked shots in their Bobcat careers. Like Al and Divaldo, Jourdain Allou is said to be a high-energy player, and if he is anything like his African predecessors Bobcat fans will love him!
* As currently configured, MSU's 2010 recruiting class is well-decorated. Shawn Reid earned Idaho 5A Player of the Year honors. Blake Brumwell and Tre Johnson earned all-state honors as seniors, while Jordan Salley earned all-state honors as a junior before missing his senior season with an injury.
* Members of this year's recruiting class are no strangers to important games. Chris McCall led his team to a state title in Nevada this year after earning runner-up honors last year. Shawn Reid, Blake Brumwell, Casey Trujeque and Jordan Salley were also members of state championship teams this season, while Jourdain Allou's team qualified for the NJCAA National Championship Tournament twice.
