Please tell me how a program like PSU can be having such a great recruiting year despite the fact that they are getting hammered with huge scholly reductions and a barred from post season play!

James Franklin sells snake oil with the best of 'em

He's flashy, cocky, and loud which resonates with a lot of recruits. He does a great job of building a rapport with recruits and convincing them he's one of them. From my time living in Nashville I can say I'm not impressed with how he portrays himself in public.

I thought PSU was on a probation that at least included losing a few scholarships. I guess that doesn't have much effect if a lot of players from the old regime have left and you can just recruit new ones to fill their places.

COLLEGE James Franklin irritates SEC again
Ralph D. Russo, Associated Press; 1 day ago Facebook Twitter Google Plus more
Matthew OHaren, Matthew O'Haren-USA TODAY Sports Apr 12, 2014; State College, PA, USA; Penn State Nittany Lions head coach James more DESTIN, Fla. — Southeastern Conference football coaches want the NCAA to close a loophole that allows schools to take part in out-of-state summer camps with high school prospects.
Penn State and new coach James Franklin caused a stir down south when it was announced earlier this month that the Nittany Lions' staff would be working with prospects at Georgia State's camp in Atlanta on June 10. NCAA rules prohibit schools from running camps out of state more than 50 miles from their campus. Penn State's presence at Georgia State's camp doesn't break the rule because the Nittany Lions are considered guests of the Panthers' staff. The SEC has a league rule prohibiting coaches from being guests at another school's camp. "There have been a lot of schools doing that for years," Georgia football coach Mark Richt said Wednesday during SEC spring meetings. "The spirit of that (NCAA) rule is not to have satellite camps all over the place." SEC coaches are concerned that more schools will be encroaching on their fertile recruiting territory if the rules aren't reformed. Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin raised the issue last year at SEC meetings. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have routinely partnered with small schools in Texas to make their presence felt in the talent-rich Lone Star State. Franklin's reach into Georgia brought even more attention to the issue. Franklin moved to Penn State after three seasons at Vanderbilt, where he was able to build recruiting relationships around the South. Georgia State and coach Trent Miles benefit from the relationship with Penn State by drawing more and better players to their camp. "To me, what I'm seeing is a loophole in that if another school sponsors a camp — Georgia Camp featuring Penn State coaches — or some Division II schools in Texas featuring Oklahoma's coaches or Oklahoma State's coaches or Texas' coaches and then just barnstorming all around the place," Richt said. "The rule says that everybody's camp should be on their own institution, so it's basically people finding a way around that rule. We think the rule was set for a reason and it ought to stay that way." Kentucky coach Mark Stoops, who has had great success recruiting in Ohio since taking over the Wildcats after the 2012 season, said if the SEC coaches can't get the NCAA to close the loophole he would prefer the league lift its ban on guest coaching at other campuses. "I don't want to speak for everybody in the room, but from what I heard in there is most of our coaches would be in favor of at least being on an even playing field," Stoops said.

Maybe it's because they need EVERY POSITION RIGHT NOW. Early PT for every recruit.
Nah - I think Reed was the only great player that left during the crisis.
