Time for CLM to adopt the baseball recruiting philosophy. Can fans handle it?

After a few years of 5 star stacked classes only to watch the 3-and-done kids decimate the program, it's time to ramp down recruiting and pass on the studs.
MSU proves this year that going after approaching-5star talent and then pressure cooking it for 3-4 years is the way to go.
No more Fournette's and Dupre's, or more precisely, no more Brocker's and Freak's. The new wave of college football is owned by 12-18 ranked recruiting classes that love their school and stay 4 years.
Makes Feb kinda suck, but it's the only way to do it.
ETA: anyone arguing against this point is a Rantard.

no....no....I don't even know where to begin on this awful line of thinking.

maybe go old school and actually watch the kids play rather than just go off their measurables and what they do at camps.

So Miles would have to out coach teams instead of out talent them? Yeah, that will work

Lets recruit the less elite kids.
Got it.
Got it.

So we should recruit less talented players in hopes that the good ones stay 4 years? fricking retarded. You do know that MSU still loses guys after 3 years right?

LSU recruits a ton of those players. They just all leave to go play JUCO or FCS ball after two years. That attrition is at least as big a problem as the NFL attrition.
MSU is also a complete outlier, as Natinoal Champions consistently have top 3 and top 5 recruiting classes up and down the line. Nevermind the fact that MSU still hasn't even won anything yet this year.

What do you mean by baseball recruiting philosophy? We had the number 1 class this year.

I don't think any of that matters because if Les Miles can't outcoach anybody, regardless if he has talent or not, then we won't win shite.

or how about the coaches do their jobs and coach the kids up?

You think we should take on the Miss St. philosophy by only recruiting 4 star players in the hopes of having one good team every 20 years. I would rather have one bad team every four years than one good team every four years.
