    Book(s) you are currently reading.

    Measuring the World by Daniel Kehlmann. Fictional versions of Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Gauss are the protagonists. I am mid-way through and it is quite well-done.

    2027 Recruiting Thread

    At the moment it appears to be Penn State versus Georgia, but as we all know these things change instantly once dollars are being discussed. This is NOT to say that Bourque is solely motivated by money, as motivations vary, but it surely will play a part. Georgia and Penn State are both less...

    Penn State hires Kashif Moore as next WR coach

    The "premium" board is a colossal waste of time. I joined it this month to read the recruiting updates, but it will be short lived. The noise to content ratio is extreme. Couple of decent posters but the number of tools bloviating there makes reading any thread insufferable.

    Penn State hires Kashif Moore as next WR coach

    That is because 1. Campbell is a ball coach that is looking for something very specific. As with recruits he is not looking for "star power" but rather a set a traits that are compatible with how he runs a program. What these are we will see in due course. 2. Insiders, sites and fans were...

    Understandably, I think this community is suffering PTSD with respect to WR coaching and development. If the offense is anything like it was at ISU with Mouser and Campbell, I think Rocco will help to flip the script sooner rather than later, given how they lean on the long ball. With a good...

    It is his view, but it will take a while to stabilize the program. He apparently will do what is necessary to be competitive out of the gate, but it will take a minute to get the program where he wants it. Then we can assess. But, no, I am not worried about recruiting for 2027

    Premature. The portal can equalize things quickly. Lane operated with a 40% portal roster at Ole Miss and did well. Not saying Campbell will go that route, but there are different ways to succeed in today's football landscape. He needs the right players, not just talented players.

    2027 Recruiting Thread

    My bad. I am comparing apples to apples not apples to oranges. I am not going to look at Georgia's recruiting and the PSU's recruiting through the same lens. I am nonchalant because I did not have any expectations for high school recruitng for 2027. The staff will need proof of concept...

    Yes. All the players he brought with him he believes can compete. The ones that could not he left where they are. There are highly ranked recruits with previous ties to Campbell that have legit interest in PSU, but pulling the trigger without ever seeing a practice at PSU, how the staff...

    Two things. 1. Campbell and his staff are not recruiting the same players to PSU that they did to ISU. There are surely exceptions but without NIL chances of them signing top flight talent to ISU that was being courted elsewhere with lucrative financial packages is low. 2. Top-flight...

    Hard to quantify any of this until we see what we have on the field; hell, they still have not had one single practice. Before things start trending more in PSU's favor on the recruiting trail recruits need to see the team play and how successful they are. I suspect that the staff will lean...

    Here is the deal. If they are impatient and do not give Campbell the latitude to implement his vision of the program (ostensibly the reason you hired him) they will pay dearly for it (financially at the very least). My sense is they will. His strategy to bridge to the past is one way to...
