Alabama, Notre Dame, and Florida are all traditional football powerhouses with a much better tradition of winning than we do. No comparison there. South Carolina Steve Spurrier... Illinois Ron Zook... two of the better recruiters in college football. And apparently Tim Brewster is no slouch either.
Dantonio is not the kind of guy who's gonna be able to sell the Spartan program to top tier talent right away. He is going to be straightforward with the recruits and tell them that they're trying to build something up. He's not going to promise them immediate playing time either, he'll probably tell them that they're going to have to compete for a spot like everyone else on the team.
Once Dantonio has actually built a stable program with these "mid-level" recruits, 4 and 5 star recruits will start to give us a much harder look, and I think that trend is already underway a little bit for next year's class.
