Ouch. Penn State 2027 Recruiting Decline?

I think Campbell is too and he got his on the job training here at ISU. The mistakes he made while here, will not occur as often now that he has gone through it. Things like not hiring a special teams coach, will not be repeated there. He also will be coaching a lot better talent that ISU had, making it easier to win a lot of those games like Ohio and Colorado.

The “better talent that ISU had” IS the talent that ISU had and he took most of that with him
And he still lost to Colorado with that talent just last year. Not sure how much he’s learned

Ouch. Penn State 2027 Recruiting Decline?

I mean if he could turn recruiting classes at ISU ranked in the 40s and 50s into top 25 teams youd like to think he could turn top 25 recruiting classes into top 10 teams. So youre saying Matt Campbell cant develop players?
There’s a big difference in taking teams into the top 25 vs the top 10. Especially in this area. No matter how many diamonds in the rough you find without elite talent there will always be a hard ceiling against the top teams unless you are an all time coach. CMC is good but he isn’t all time.

His schedule this year is a cakewalk, in 2027 he could very realistically start 3-3 and be sitting on an inferno. He doesn’t have the cake protected rivalry that some schools have either
