So the upside from Michigan's recruiting weekend is that Riley Norman, a huge MSU lean with no Michigan offer who was always going to go there, is now still going to go there? Yes, huge benefits.

Haha this is like saying "I'm glad the Wings lost early in the playoffs so they can rest for next year."

Then again, this is the only semi-positive way to look at this from a Sparty POV.

It's actually more mature and reasonable than the standard 11 Warriors' response of "We didn't want them anyway and I hope they all blow their ACLs."

Kind of an odd name for an MSU blog though.

So, which is worse:

I didn't get the best players even though I gave them offers because they chose Michigan.

or

I didn't lose any players to Michigan because I didn't offer them until after Michigan got the commits it wanted.

Quoted from the commments: 

"Spot on analysis. I’ll worry about UM when they actually beat us, which could happen in 3 or 4 years from now, maybe! State’s program is so far ahead of UM it’s not even close. While MSU will vie for another B10 Championship, the Walvies will be calling for Hoke’s head after a dreadful 6-6 campaign next year."

"It was open," Toussaint said. "I can't compare this hole to any other holes because I can't remember that but it was a huge hole."
