It begs the question, why can't MSU surge like ILL, UNC, USC or Rutgers, to name a few? It's either we don't have a good staff in place to recruit or the others are doing something we aren't, good or bad.
You make the call. |
It took Schiano four years to turn Rutgers around (helped, in part, by the turnaround victory over JLS'
MSU squad). Illinois is most likely cheating. And UNC??? "We've seen" Butch Davis go 4-8 in his first season at UNC, including a season-ending overtime win against that football powerhouse, Duke. Rivals ranks UNC's recruiting class at 34, compared to
MSU's 47, but there's not a huge difference, quality-wise, in the 30-50 classes on Rivals.
As far as I'm concerned, Caputo "researched" his article by looking at recruiting rankings alone. Dantonio had to start somewhere, and, IMO, he's doing more to set the foundation for future success, rather than making a "flash-in-the-pan" statement (as he could've done by loading up on JC's for more immediate success).
