Have you actually looked at Franklins first class top to bottom. Who cares where the recruit comes from, because that is only complaint you can have. Franklin was landing a lot of PA kids and Campbell isn't. Lets just talk about how they rate. Franklins 2015 class had 25 recruits. The following 9 are the top 250 kids. Thats 36% of the class being in the top 250That is crazy talk
Campbell's current class (his first full one) is not anywhere near the class Franklin brought in in 2015 (2nd in Big Ten, scads more blue chip guys, very few uber-reaches, and "dominated the state"with 7 or 8 of the top 10 in PA).
That's just silly talk.
Whether high school recruiting matters anymore? Whether it matters as much as it did? All viable debates - but comparing those classes as equal (or even somewhat similar) is whacked.
Saquan Barkley (67)
Garrett Taylor (77)
Juwan Johnson (115)
Ryan Bucholtz (129)
Ryan Bates (143)
John Reid (156)
Andre Robinson (202)
Jake Cooper (208)
Irvin Charles (232)
Campbells current 2027 class has 20 recruits and 7 are in the top 250. Thats 35%.
David Tarawelle (67)
David Montgomery (70)
Aiden Gibson (103)
Keishjuan Telfair (117)
Elijah Guertin (190)
Cooper Terwilliger (206)
Landon Blum (222)
Further as you look at the bottom of the class. 5 recruits at the bottom of Franklins class (20% of the class rated at an 86 or lower). In Campbells class the number is 2 (10%) and one of those is a long snapper.
Sorry, if that doesn't look and awful lot alike. I dont know what does, but I will add. Its sure appears as if Franklin had a lot more reaches which flies in the face of what you are saying.
