I sure hope they’ll improve after all of the changes to the staff and roster. I don’t follow it closely but would like to see at them be at least in the middle of the conference and not continually get blown out by the top teams.
In time, they have a chance. The coaching staff were fierce competitors, and most have a real attachment to PSU. They lost a lot of talent to the portal, and the timing of the change at HC didn't help with 2026 recruiting. They are still (I believe; haven't checked recently) a team that has a smaller roster than do most teams. So I think fans will have to give the coaching staff a few years to see if they can restock, re-establish recruiting connections, and attract talent at a level that will allow them to be competitive. Hopefully, they can shorten the time it takes to reach that point; only time will tell.
I should also note that I have absolutely no idea where PSU WBB stands with regards to NIL (in comparison to the rest of the B1G).
