2 offers, Iowa and ISU and they just changed Coaches , I will be surprised if He does not announce for the Hawks, Looks like a Parker Special athletic safety to Me
Hope we get him as D is losing quite a few players and need to rebuild for next year and beyond. Might have caught a break with coaching situation at ISU. Hope PSU does not get into the picture.

PSU is going to recruit Iowa heavily while Campbell is there , an unfortunate side effect of the hire

My old HS and known his family for years and he appears to be the real deal, quite an athlete IMO
He was ranked second in the state in baseball as a junior. Kids a player.
Hope he comes to IA and plays both
If McCaffrey could do it this guy can do it better..

he wont last long if he recruits Iowa heavily. lmfao.
Iowa's Top 3 or so recruits each Year are becoming National type or really solid 4 star recruits , Where did I say to any of the jackwagon usual subjects that Iowa would be His only State of emphasis ?

you said he would be recruiting Iowa heavily, not trying to get two or three national recruits...which if they are national recruits every big program would be after. Why would Cambell be any different?

Are you saying he will have an advantage because he has relationships here? If so I would agree.

I want him to play baseball but doubt it’s realistic. McCaffrey couldn’t track a fly ball in fall ball, so let’s hope the comp is Brecht.

Matt claims his emphasis has been/will be kids within 6-8 hrs of the school, and claims Happy Valley is in the middle of one of the most fertile talent regions in the country.

That said, his obsession with beating Iowa will most likely lead him to try and beat out Iowa for recruits. If he only takes 1 or 2 of the top kids in the state each year...and doesn't waste a lot of time/money doing it...and they win 10-11 games? No problem.

But guarantee the boosters will be paying attention. And I wish he - and Penn State - nothing but the worst. 😏

No way.
Franklin is getting hammered for letting his ego dictate that PSU overspend on a recruit he wanted to beat Mich for..for poor allocation of nil funds.
MC will be very hesitant to target recruits in Iowa just to beat Iowa, believe me..that would destroy his cred in eyes of PSU fans

Only Iowa recruits he will go after are the top 2-3 guys in the state 4* kids. He’s going to be setting his sites on higher rated guys and competing with the Ohio st & Michigan blue blood schools instead of the days competing with more Midwest region schools like Iowa or Minnesota for players. Only way I see him possibly beyond that is next class or 2 with kids he’s already built a relationship with on recruiting trail. a select couple of them could be fall backs, not counting higher ranked guys like slagle, for misses elsewhere nationally where they could be developmental guys at PSU that wouldn’t see field right away.

I think we pretty much agree on this.

What's more important to Matty; his credibility...or his pride in wanting to prove he's better than Ferentz.

Maybe so. But taking it out on people who work there now and had absolutely nothing to do with it makes no sense.
By working there they are saying they are ok with what happened and every Ped State fan acts like it was no big deal and we should all forget about it. We will never forget what was allowed to happen and what was covered up on that campus.

So Matt Campbell is OK with it? Come on, man. The people who did it and allowed it are all POS. They have been cleared out and dealt with. They're gone and have been for years. That doesn't make the current secretary for the wrestling coach an enabler.
