I don't think it's illogical to profess that in order to improve the results of the past decade, PSU needs to recruit better talent and splash in the portal. In a big game, with 8 or 9 participants on each side of the ball being comparable in talent and execution......its the unblockable edge or the receiver who is unimpeded by double teams that make the difference.
Game breaking talent, in high school recruiting or the portal is currently more expensive than PSU is able or willing to pay.
That is an issue.

Fyi.....at least four of Campbell's 3 star commitments are projected to receive a 4th star before signing day.

I'm overcome with excitement. Others will move down....as up and down is the way it works. It won't put PSU in the top 10 (final) in the 24/7 rankings and they are currently #17 in Rivals. Are Ohio States recruits all going to be demoted to 3 stars?They have 2 5s and 9 4s;
How about Oregon(11) USC (1 5) (8 4s), Michigan (10) and UCLA (9) with classes currently rated above PSU....not to mention Nebraska that has a higher score quality per commit and the same # of 4 stars as PSU. Are you all warm and fuzzy with being #6 in the conference (rivals) in recruiting?
Recruiting to date is no worse, but no better than the past decade. That doesn't translate into "excellence at the highest level.." to anyone without blue tinted Campbell monogrammed sunglasses.
My criticism of the current state of recruiting is not a knock on HCMC. It's a commentary on where PSU stands in the current world of college football. Either the so called "standard" needs to be adjusted to what we seemingly can afford or more resources are needed.
PSU doesn't have a single game with a team predicted higher than
a 8.5 win total on FanDuel this season. They better run the table this year or find some cash after that.
