Recruiting is the lifeblood of any college football program and can determine whether a team is competitive consistently, a flash in the pan, or a perennial doormat.

Michigan has come on, Penn State seems to be resurgent, and other teams across the way in the West division, like Wisconsin and Iowa, are also looking to close the gap.
