We're barely over 365 days removed from a horrific three-year stretch. Let's not get ahead of ourselves either on the field or the recruiting trail. I'd love to see MSU land Ingram and Perry as much as anyone, but we also need to be realistic and realize that the big-time kids aren't going to consistently come barring a leap of faith on their part.
In the meantime, I have no problem building the program up old-school style -- like Iowa. Take a buch of under-the-radar kids and get to the Top-10/Big Ten title level. |
I agree with ya, although we tend to be able to land better players than Iowa.
7-8 wins a year should be the norm. Either 4-0 or 3-1 in non-conference, and at least a 4-4 B11 record. I think we win 5 B11 games this year and lose to Cal in the non-conf. and tOSU, PSU (stupid happy valley curse + 18 returning starters =
), and Wisky.
We beat: ND, FAU, Eastern, Iowa, NW, IU, PU and SCum.
* we could beat wisky, although they're in the PSU/tOSU category as far as returning starters are concerned.
