Bad news: recruiting lately looks like a higher level MAC or even FCS program.
Good news: the teams at the FCS level coached by Braun and Lujan would probably have handily defeated NU in 2021, 2022, and even 2023.
So if we get MAC/FCS recruits who play like SDSU and NDSU then we may finish in the middle third of the newly expanded Big Ten.
Given the NIL changes and AD/presidential leadership along with the Fitz transition, I don't think we could be surprised to see recruiting fall to this level. We'll see if the results on the field look better than the appearance on paper.
