That is the elephant in the room PSU fans cannot ignore when talking of their recruiting - now and into the future.jwinslow;858037; said:The difference is UM recruits well enough to compensate for in-state woes (either recruiting or talent). PSU cannot do this.

It used to be that Penn State could depend on getting more than one or two Ohio boys into their classes. Zordich notwithstanding, in the future I see that as less and less likely as the MAC schools pick of some and TSUN Iowa, TN and others continue border raiding.
It used to be the case that Penn State could depend on the cream of the crop in PA, with only Pitt or ND as the primary competition. That is far from the truth these days. In fact, there is discontent among their fan base about the lack of positive relationships JoePa has had, for some time, with HS coaches across the state of PA.
None of the above is going to change till Joe retires in my view.
