Michigan State is basically pulling players from the same states as Michigan...both are heavy in Michigan and Ohio. State probably does the best in terms of the Midwest right now and I'd say the majority of their talent comes from this immediate area. Michigan still can get the odd impact player at the skill positions and the "athletes" in the bigger states. I don't think it's any secret that State has been able to do more with less notable recruits.
