I have to see it to believe it. Just did some research on the recruiting classes of ISU. They continually ranked around 50th whereas PSU was around 15th. Looked at the transfers too. Infusion of 3 stars, and by the looks of things, coaching them up is not as easy as saying the words.

But I certainly hope it's fixable. Like to see the DT's rise up. The UCLA guys certainly should be motivated to play USC. The environment will be good unless they come out and get pushed around the first few drives.
BUT BUT BUT.....
"We had a TOP FIVE portal class!" According to the team media mutton heads, and those that cite their gospels. We CRUSHED IT in the portal. Or don't you remember? LOL.

Don't have the link but on the 7 mountains podcast today Jones said he talked to Campbell and the staff said everything is fixable.

I trust Jones maybe more than anyone so I consider this good news.
Sure its "fixable" but this year?

If crushing it means getting a 3 deep depth chart, I suppose they crushed it.... lol...

I think this team can still get to 7-8 wins. Having your best player and most dynamic athlete back in a few weeks should help the offense come up with a better showing than they've had the past two weeks. The schedule is still weak, no matter how bad this team stinks.

It was unreasonable to think that this team was a playoff team in the preseason. I myself am also guilty of this. Mass departures, no signing class, hodgepodge transfer class. Half the team is made up of a middling BIG12 team from a season ago.

Year 3 is when I'd think you'd need to see some serious progress from Campbell. That seems like a reasonable amount of time for Campbell to have gotten situated into the BIG and what it takes to be successful at PSU. We're going to certainly need NIL to pick up though - no matter who the coach is, if we're not bringing in talent, we're going to be behind the true class of college football.
Kind of what CMC says, be patient, it will take time to put the parts in place.

Franklin brought in way better talent (that was always competitive with the top of the b1g and Nationally) and did it with a smaller NIL budget than Campbell currently has. You Franklin-Hate now excuse makers for Krafty The Clown and Campbell are so full of crap and ridiculousness, it is sadly ironic.
This makes no sense. Franklin squandered the talent that he had in his last year and Campbell barely had anytime to recruit.

Posters here aren’t living in reality. Reality is PSU is headed towards bottom of big ten permanently.

NIL will be all that matters and the teams with the ability to buy elite talent will thrive. All you PSU fans are cheap lets be honest and NIL is trash.

The AD is awful, the staff is mid with young coordinators who are unproven.

You just joined this morning? and this is your post? 😂

How is it that Chesney has UCLA not-only competitive, but has turned them around in year 1. Ditto Franklin an VoTech..... Then of course you had what Cignetti has done at Indiana. This utter nonsense that it takes 3 years to make PSU even marginally competitive (when they were already consistently competitive and a national contender with the top of the b1g under Franklin) with a larger NIL budget than Franklin ever had is just such ridiculous nonsense and bs, it isn't even funny. Clearly, this is what Krafty The Clownboy promised us with his "Championship Football"..... and "Excellence at the highest level"........ [insert eyeroll - zero accountability for Kraft who deserves to be making minimum wage rather than the multi-millions he's pulling down, but Kraft is going to hold the 2nd Winningest Coach in PSU history "accountable" via firing??? What absolute rubbish and bureaucratic, hack, empty-suit garbage. And Alumnus are supposed to financially support this bs???].
UCLA has played absolutely no one. Cmon now. If they beat Oregon then call me.

EVERYTHING. Literally everything is "fixable".
That is just throw away pandering jibberish, obviously

It is only a matter of when, how, by whom, and how much.

I would have liked for them to give Franklin the bigger budget that Campbell is supposedly getting and see where things would go from there.
Supposedly very NIL budget in the country has risen the last two years. We would need a relative spending comparison not absolute comparison to be fair to each side
