MSU target, local 3-star speedster WR Samson Gash reportedly nearing decision
MSU target, local 3-star speedster WR Samson Gash reportedly nearing decision This past weekend, #MichiganState hosted Catholic Central (MI) WR Samson Gash. He just talked to me about this past weekend's visit to MSU, sharing some very strong praise. Gash: 'We should see a decision in the next day or so." MORE: — Justin Thind (@JustinThind) June 17, 2025 One of the top remaining targets on the Spartans' recruiting board is nearing a decision, according to a report from Michigan State insider Justin Thind. Thind caught up with the three-star wide receiver Samson Gash following his official visit to Michigan State this past weekend. Per a post on X from Thind, Gash had "some very strong praise" following his visit and that "we should see a decision in the next day or so." Gash -- who plays for Detroit Catholic Central -- is the highest-rated wide receiver prospect from Michigan in the 2026 class, and holds a recruiting rating of 89 on 247Sports. He ranks as the No. 49 wide receiver nationally and No. 4 overall prospect from the state of Michigan. Gash also visited West Virginia earlier this month and is slated to visit Cincinnati later this week, according to 247Sports. Those appear to be the three finalists at the moment for Gash's commitment, but he also does hold notable offers from Illinois, Iowa, Purdue, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest as well. Michigan State already has one wide receiver commitment in its 2026 class in three-star Zachary Washington. He committed to Michigan State earlier this week, and would pair nicely with Gash should the Spartans come out on top in this recruiting battle.

About 3,000 people participate in No Kings Rally in front of Highland Park City Hall
The 'No Kings' rally held outside of Highland Park City Hall on June 14 gathered 3,000 for a peaceful protest on Saturday, organizers said. Lauren Beth Gash, chair, Lake County Democrats, says momentum and numbers are growing across the country for standing up to President Trump, and the local response in Lake County is no exception. 'Concerned people are fed up and alarmed on a daily, hourly basis, which prompts them to want to participate,' Gash said. According to Gash, numbers have been growing in protests and demonstrations co-sponsored by the Lake County Democrats since February, drawing participants from the 17 townships in Lake and northern Cook Counties. Highland Park's 11 a.m. rally was part of the national day of action, and in Lake County, Illinois, it was one of three anti-Trump demonstrations with others in Gurnee and Buffalo Grove. 'In this country, we don't have kings, so we need to stand in unity, and do all we can do to protect our democracy,' Gash added. The Highland Park 'No Kings' rally was hosted by the Lake County Democrats with co-sponsoring organizations like Indivisible, Resist, Persist & Insist, Warren Township Democrats, Moraine Township Democrats and others also taking part. 'Instead of being a dictator, Trump should be working to do the things he promised during the election – working towards peace in the Middle East, ending the war in Russia, protecting social security, instead of hurting our veterans and tanking our economy,' Gash said. Protesters held signs reading, 'No Thrones, No Crowns, No Kings,' 'Immigrants Built This Country,' 'Save our Democracy,' and 'What's the matter, didn't your mommy ever throw you a Birthday Party?' The Highland Park event featured speakers, including rally co-host and Highland Park resident and climate change activist Anita Goldberg, State Representative Bob Morgan for Highland Park, and Colleen Connell, executive director of ACLU Illinois. 'This is a choice and we will fight for our freedom, showing up is the first step,' Morgan said. Morgan led the crowd in a chant, 'Washington D.C. won't silence our voices, hell no.' Connell addressed the crowd, saying, no man or person is above the law, and without the rule of law, no one is safe, and there can only be chaos in a world where might makes right. 'If we are silenced into submission, we are doomed, and there are more of us than there are of them,' Connell said. Goldberg offered gratitude to Representative Bob Morgan, Mayor Nancy Rotering, and Gov. JB Pritzker for the work they do every day. Mandy Gries of Wheeling participated in Saturday's protest. 'After days that have been so disheartening, today brings hope, to see that others care and that we are not alone, but in this together,' Gries said.

Newly offered in-state 3-star ATH Samson Gash schedules official visit to MSU for next month One day after getting an offer from the Spartans, three-star in-state prospect Samson Gash has scheduled an official visit to Michigan State. Gash announced on Friday that he'll be taking an official visit to Michigan State next month. According to a post from Gash on his social media X account, he will visit Michigan State on June 13. Michigan State extended an offer to Gash -- who plays for Michigan high school powerhouse Detroit Catholic Central -- on Thursday. He has recently picked up a ton of interest on the recruiting trail, with Gash receiving offers from Illinois, Purdue, West Virginia, Wake Forest and Temple in the last month. Gash ranks as the No. 60 athlete in 247Sports' rankings for the 2026 class. He is also listed as the No. 16 player from Michigan in the class, and holds a rating of 87 on 247Sports. Along with his official visit to Michigan State scheduled for June 13, Gash will also take an official visit to Cincinnati on June 20, according to 247Sports. I would expect him to schedule some additional official visits with some of the other schools that have recently offered him.
