Linking Laconically is a 'crootin machine

Michigan State football recruiting feels a lot different than it did a few short years ago. I refuse to obsess over how many stars some website gives a high school kid -- recruitsterbating, as one of my friends elegantly put it this afternoon -- but it's nice to have confirmation these players see what's going on in East Lansing. Mark Dantonio has made this program into what we see today with under-recruited kids looking to prove everyone wrong. I anticipate those types of players will continue to excel at MSU, but surrounding them with raw talent doesn't sounds so bad.
