To expand on that point, OSU's problem the last few years has not been the superstars, but the lack of role players or "diamonds in the rough." PJ Hill is the closest thing Thad has had to this, and he was an emergency option. His effort and improvement has been commendable, but his talent level only reaches so high.

MSU brought along sleepers like Travis Walton, Goran Suton, or even Draymond Green. A few years back, Matta maximized the potential of Ron Lewis, JeKel Foster and even Matt Terwilliger. Recently, he has not been able to do that with Wallace, Simmons, Madsen, etc (too early to evaluate Offutt). Is that a coaching problem, a mistake during evaluation (offering), or simply a consequence of circumstances forcing his hand (PG situation, needing bodies in 06 for frontline)? Clearly Matta has shown he can do it, both at OSU and previous stops. It might be as simple as recognizing that most programs go through these peaks and valleys.
