I know some of you have been Gopher fans for a lot longer than I have (I'm a 21 year old student here), but I am just trying to get a grasp on how things used to be when we were competing for conference and national championships in football. It just seems like in today's day and age the schools with the top recruiting classes always seem to consistently put the best teams on the field, with of course some outliers every now and then. Since they started tracking recruiting online in the early 2000's we have always known which programs are reeling in the top players every year, and recruits see these and want to be a part of these great programs. How did we know about good players in the 60's and 70's when we were competing for national championships and going to Rose Bowl's? Now-a-days our classes are made up of mostly 2 and 3 star guys with maybe (If we're lucky) 1 or 2 four star guys. How are we expected to compete with the Michigan's and Ohio State's of the world who are bringing in 14 or 15 four and five star guys each class? It will be very difficult no doubt, but recruiting is huge when determining the ceiling that a program has.
