Yeah you're right about it being middle of the pack, but it isn't like UK was having to fight off teams like Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss State, etc. to get these 3/4* kids in Ohio. If he goes to Michigan State, what's he going to have to recruit on that hasn't probably already been offered to these kids from schools like Penn State, michigan, ND, etc. since he can't sell them on playing in the SEC anymore? I think that's a big reason why he was successful at UK, but might not really be there at MSU. And again, it's not like Dantonio's staff hasn't done just as good in Ohio as this guy for the past several years. It isn't that I would hate having him on my staff, but I wouldn't get into some crazy bidding war over the guy.Yeah, but it's also easier to recruit to MSU than it is at a school like UK, with next to nothing in terms of tradition. Look at some of those classes in the early 2000's MSU was pulling in. A couple top 10 classes. UK was basically on par with MSU in terms of recruiting under Stoops and that's with nothing to go on essentially. And it's Kentucky. That's the huge part in this. They are probably the 2nd worst job in the SEC after Vandy, MSU is middle of the pack in terms of job status in the B1G.
