2027 Recruiting Thread

I don't think the problem is Campbell. It's how the whole thing went down. PSU was the first top school to have an opening and the last to name a new coach. Time was critical as our recruiting class disintegrated.

I agree. Campbell is not to blame for losing the 2026 class, Kraft is. Also, it isn't Campbell's fault that PSU is not a top NIL player at the moment. He's dealing with the same financial limitations that Franklin did. That's why the recruiting is similar.

Taylor, Hall, Cooper and Powell (long snapper) are all crystal balls now. Taylor canceled visits to bama and neb.

That's one heck of a sign by Taylor!

I get the sense that even with more resources, Campbell wouldn't be the type to throw the kind of money around it takes to sign 5* talent these days. He definitely leans conservative.

Seems that way.

But as another poster asked "What's the status of the deals with Addidas & Elevate. I read that Elevate is heading up ticketing operations and premium hospitality experiences but PSU hasn't engaged them in a private capital deal. If true that leaves Addidas but I don't know how that money gets approved or allocated.

What happened to those gushers of cash and "NIL" money that were going to be bursting PSU ICA's cash registers - from those "nation-leading, first-in-class, precedent setting etc etc" deals that PSU ICA crafted with the likes of PlayFly and Adidas and Elevate?

Was that an oops?

If someone does not spend money does that mean they didn't have it?
