Jonathan Smith has a game plan to turn Michigan State football into a Big Ten powerhouse. It's all about getting the right players on board and winning more games each year. This season is just the start of something big for him. Over the next five years, Coach Smith has a strong chance to flip the script on the Spartans' story, making them a team to be feared.

Recruiting is key for Smith. He's hustling to bring in top talent, the kind of players who can make a real difference on the field. He's not just looking for good players; he's building a whole squad of winners who can take Michigan State to the top. And it doesn't just have to bring in talent; it also prevents losing talent.

But it's not all about signing day glory. Smith knows that what really matters is what happens between the sidelines. That's why he's all about steady improvement. Sure, winning games now is great, but Smith's got his eye on the long game. Each season, he's pushing his players to get better, to learn from their losses, and to come back stronger. And you can see the progress. The Spartans are starting to practice better and better as the weeks go on and the coaches seem pleased with the progress,.

This year is crucial for Smith and his squad as it is their first impression in East Lansing. It's the time to show what they're made of, to prove that they can hang with the big dogs of the Big Ten. And they're planning on doing just that. With each game, they need to be building momentum and showing the conference what they're capable of.

Looking down the road, the future's looking bright for Coach Smith and the Spartans. With his reputation on the rise, more top recruits will want to play for him, and that means even more success on the field. Smith's got his sights set on the top of the conference, and he's got the plan to get there. So watch out, Big Ten—Michigan State's coming for you, and they're not backing down.
