Earlier today I was out shopping and I saw a beautiful filet mignon in the meat isle at Whole Foods. I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger. I think it was about $40. Here's the thing -- I am not good at cooking stakes on my own. I want to cook it outside on my Weber. Any tips on preparation and execution? I'm a medium well guy, not into rare. TIA

Thanos is NCAA Singles Championships Bound!!With his 6-4, 0-6, 7-5 win today in the Quarterfinal Playoffs of the ITA Sectionals, Aristotelis Thanos has punched his ticket to join teammate Ozan Baris at the NCAA Championships!!

After the 49ers missed their third kick of the game, Deebo Samuel put his hands on the neck of long-snapper Taybor Pepper. That got Pepper … fired up. All is not well on the SF sideline.

Michigan State cornerbacks coach Demetrice Martin was in his home state of California on Friday, and according to Adam Gorney, the national recruiting director for Rivals, the Spartans offered five prospects out of Tustin High School.

MSU sent out offers to three-star athlete/defensive back Lennie "Trey" Brown, 2027 four-star safety/linebacker Taven Epps, 2027 offensive lineman/defensive lineman Jon Ioane, 2027 safety Khalil Terry and 2027 defensive tackle Jeremiah Williams.

Martin — known as "Coach Meat" — is a Michigan State alumnus and has a strong reputation as a recruiter and coach throughout the country, but especially on the West Coast. The quintet of offered Tustin athletes look forward to building a relationship with Martin and the Spartans.

Here is a closer look at each of the five Tustin recruits and which other schools have gotten involved with the athletes.

Brown, Epps and Terry spoke to Spartans Illustrated and provided their reactions on being offered by Michigan State, along with their potential visit plans and their thoughts on what they are hoping to learn about the MSU program moving forward.

Terry plans to be on campus at the end of the month and the others could make it to East Lansing soon as well.

"I will be at MSU on the 30th (of November), I'm pretty sure," Terry noted.
