White was good when he came in
Yes, White was good from day 1. MG was good for a freshman on day 1. MG was highly rated and you could say it was a recruiting win (until you see his offer list). BUT, I think it could be said that FM has done a good job of identifying and landing talent that ends up being elite in the B1G at the 2-4 positions. He has done a great job identifying talent at the 1 and 5 and getting early offers out to that talent BUT he hasn't had as much luck landing guys he really wanted at the 1 and 5. MG wasn't his first or second realistic choice the year he came in and neither were CW or JB. I'm not sure our current 1's were in the top 5. That doesn't mean that they can't end up being elite B1G players. It just makes it less likely.
