Everyone is obsessed with recruiting rankings, but they seem to be forgetting one important fact:
One of the most talented and experienced rosters in Penn State history just delivered the biggest disappointment of the CFP era.
Why?
Because championships aren't built on talent alone. They're built on development, culture, and talent. The previous staff had plenty of the third. The first two were the difference.
Winning a commitment from a 17-year-old in July doesn't win playoff games. Developing that player over the next 3-5 years does.
Matt Campbell has said repeatedly since arriving that his program will be built through high school recruiting. He's not chasing stars—he's recruiting players who fit the culture, want to be at Penn State, and can be developed into championship football players.
Everyone knew this transition class would have bumps. If you're judging the future of this staff by one recruiting cycle instead of what the roster looks like in three years, you're missing the bigger picture.
Development. Culture. Then talent.
And the success everyone is expecting will most likely take longer than eight months on the job & a single snap not occurring yet.

@Zigmanfreud John,of all the interviews and podcasts that you’ve done, if you had to choose just one of them that best summarizes the whole ordeal which one would it be? Because most people who still believe in Sanduskys guilt won’t take the time to listen to your entire library.
Big News In The Jerry Sandusky Case!
We have just done a mind-blowing two-hour interview for our “With the Benefit of Hindsight” podcast with the wife, and mother of his 2 children, of one of the trial accusers who was paid over $5 million by Penn State. She is now 100% sure her husband (who she is now divorcing after listening to our podcast) lied about Sandusky, and that Sandusky is indeed innocent.
Here is the climactic end to that discussion. We will be releasing the audio version of the full interview on Monday, for free, on our podcast feed. This will be a MUST listen to anyone remotely interested in this case, or even just our criminal justice system.
