2023 Michigan State Season Thread

He's going to have go up against USC, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Nebraska, Oregon, Washington, UCLA for recruits

Don't sleep on UW recruiting. If you look at the average STARZ rating, you'll see that UW is closer to UM and PSU than UM and PSU are to OSU.

UW is also ahead of UNL, Washington and UCLA.

By average stars, MSU is right there too.  They just only have 13 guys, and it likely drops

[Brutus Buckeye]

Dang, the rest of the conference has a goose egg on those five stars. 

[FearlessF]

OSU should be ashamed if they drop a conference game

Dang, the SEC has our five*star guys spread out among 10 schools.

B1G lacks depth.

Well, Clay Travis is backing Mel, so he should be toast

Clay Travis defense of Mel Tuggy continues into this week - wonder if he knows about the “moral turpitude” cause(?):

I just looked at the 2024 rankings. All but 7 of the 32 5* players are located in the SEC footprint.

OSU has a commit from the only two 5* kids in the B1G footprint.

So much BS - so Clay has done investigations and taught harrassment seminars - sure he has, of course.Perhaps the slappie should take pre law and look up moral clauses in employment contracts. Don't be talking dirty and tossing off to the sexual harrassment education lady while on the phone - then admitting it to the USA Today. This loon would be a boon to any PR department,SMDH

One of the podcasts I was listening to today, forget which one, mentioned how much more attractive the job is now, than when Dantonio retired.  MSU's place in the national landscape has not changed, it's somewhere between the #20 and #30 best program.  But in 2020, that still made it the 4th best program within its own division, among five P5 conferences, with a 4 team playoff.  Now it's the same nationally, but it's just one of 40ish schools in one of the two (not 5) marquee conferences, no more or less encumbered by OSU, UM and PSU than any other Big Ten school, with a 12 team playoff.  Instead of having to be better than all 3 of them, like Dantonio had to be, you could be the 3rd best of those 4, and still make the playoff depending on the scenario

I think my clear cut top 3, in no particular order are the Duke, WSU, and Marshall head coaches
