I think we need to stop using this concept as it applies to this team. The large recruiting classes of 2012 and 2013 is already like the rat being swallowed by the snake. The 16 recruits from 2014 and 2015's small number of recruits are going to put us back into the same situation we are in today (and as predicted by mgoblog years ago) with 2 redshirt seniors and only a handful of seniors who normally have been redshirted.
I was beyond optimistic for the quality and quantity of players from the 2012 and 2013 classes, but wary of the lack of starters in their 4th and fith year (a number plummetting since 2011). It is almost always about experience. While we have 2 or 3 on offense, maybe 4 on defense, MSU has 17 total (10 on defense).

Coaches Barnes Arico and Bakich. Not bad hires.
Pushed Kathy King in a shopping cart down the center of South U...each of us wearing a WWI flying helmet. There might have been some alcohol involved.

Slight departure from my old riddle:
How far did the MSU students have to go to get to UM?
scroll down not very far
Answer: About 1 and a half standard deviations.
