Sports Illustrated's Spartan Nation had a poor assessment of Michigan Football's 2025 recruiting strength, and it backfired on the MSU website after Wolverines' land two four-star commitments
The difference between Michigan and Michigan State's football programs is astronomical at the moment. The Wolverines are coming off three consecutive Big Ten championships and a national title to cap off a magnificent three-year run. The Spartans, meanwhile, fired previous head coachamidst an embarrassing scandal and are starting over with Jonathan Smith in 2024 after going 4-8 last year.
Oh, and Michigan beat Michigan State 49-0 in East Lansing last season in a game which was nothing but an afterthought for the Wolverines on their way to the sport's ultimate prize. Yet, even all that still isn't enough for some in the MSU circle to take a hint. Such is the case over at, one of our sister sites within the Sports Illustrated network. The site recently published several articles referring to how Michigan and Michigan State's 2025 recruiting classes are shaping up, and to say they missed the mark is an understatement... at the beginning of July. At the time the article was writtin, the Wolverines' 2025 recruiting class ranked No.
within the span of about an hour. Those two additions boosted the Wolverines' 2025 class all the way up to No. 11 in the country. The Spartans, meanwhile, are still waiting for their first commitment in July.When in doubt and struggling, bring on the coping mechanisms. Yes, it's true that some of the best players from the Mark Dantonio era were overlooked prospects that Michigan State developed and turned into good players.
Look, Jonathan Smith is a good football coach, and I think in time he can turn Michigan State back into a program that shouldn't be overlooked in the Big Ten. With that said, the Spartans aren't in the same galaxy as the Wolverines in terms of where the two programs stand right now.
