Recruiting does matter. Ryan, you think MSU stopped recruiting after 2011? The classes since then are better. If you think MSU
is going somewhere, you're going to be awful disappointed. I'm not a big fan and recruiting rankings. Every school is different.
They recruit for different needs and different wants. For the most part, UM and MSU hasn't gone after the same guys. Sure, there
are a few, but the systems at each school are different. MSU has won 11 games 5 of the last 6 years. Even with Notre Dame and
Ohio State on the schedule MSU will be 11-1 or 12-0. The Ohio State game will determine the B1G Champ again.
