It's going to be tough in the transfer portal/NIL era for schools who are committed to football, but to a point. I do not think Mel Tucker is a good September-November coach. But I think he is potentially a great recruiter, and is going to fill his staff with those types. But where does that get you if you can't coach them up? It's been proven time and time again in the CFP that well coached teams, can't even stay on the field with the well coached, high talent teams (2015 MSU, 2016 Washington, 2021 UM, etc...) So if your goal is a national title, it doesn't matter how well coached your teams are, you need the talent. So MSU appears all in on upgrading the talent. But even if MSU is recruiting at peak MSU what are they, a top 15 class? That's still likely less talent than the Michigan team that got run off the field last year. And at worst, it's a total disaster, because you have overrated kids, coached by coaches who aren't there to coach them up.
