On a side not here, anybody know why this site has “shrunk” on me? I have to zoom in to read anything. Started about two days ago. Did I accidentally adjust some sort of setting?

Well, if you believe some of the media, we should receive a commitment from Kemon Spell.
and if you pay attention to some others. Primary the guys on this site. He is a long way from committing to anyone. I think the only way he commits anywhere really quickly is if someone has sold him on reclassifying as a 2026 prospect. They say he is a really bright kid, but I don't know how easy it would be for anyone to suddenly decide they are going to graduate a year early

We are not in the top 50 for '27 recruiting rankings according to on3. It is still early in the cycle but should we be concerned? Is this mainly because of the coaching change and Campbell's staff getting a late start on this class?

I'd say give it time, they are working hard and the feedback from recruits is positive. I don't think the higher end targets, even in PA, are rushing commitments. The GM also needs to figure out $ available for NIL.

Top 50? There are no commits in the 27 class at this time!

The coaching change will payoff in the end but the old days of recruiting are changed forever, with NIL and portal players. It would be awesome to have a bunch of early commits but those commits are harder to hold onto with the money being floated around these days! At any moment, a team can offer your top recruits a million more dollars and they will be hard to keep.

A really good start to our season this fall will determine if we land top area recruits!

I guess we are just behind due the coaching change. Didn't know we didn't have any in the class. The other top 20 schools have 5 - 13 at this point. OSU has 9.

I would expect to get some commits over the summer as that is a common time for the seniors to announce. Hopefully some highly rated guys don't need to wait until our season starts and see how we do before committing.

What is our high school recruiting budget anyway? Anybody have a good estimate based on sources they may have?
