Maybe Campbell wants to work with Grunk?
Hopefully they will stay along with Tatsch. Amare Campbell, Zion Tracy. Daryus Dixon, Joseph and some other secondary players.
For context of the Paterno dysfunction that still exists and harms the University, and forgive me if this was posted, every PSU fan should listen to Lavar here:
The two NJ kids and the OT from OH (had an Indiana offer and Cignetti knows the OL) might be recruits who can switch to PSU, maybe try to get the DT from Chicago for another big body.
Depending on who stays/leaves from the current roster (I'm hearing that the guys are intrigued by the hire and wont automatically jump ship) they played a 4-2-5 according to their depth chart and have some beef up front. The MLB is a two year starter and tehy had no seniors in their secondary. I dont know how many would follow but there is some young talent on the roster
Been a constant theme. OB talked about it, JF had to fight it for years. Look at some of the stuff posted today.....they are like a pack of Chiuahuas always barking about it.
He coached at UCLA - University on the Corner of Lincoln Avenue, as we used to refer it as back when I was in high school. Of course the real name of the school is Youngstown State.The Cyclone DC has a lot of Ohio Midwest experiences, and probable recruiting contacts.

Heacock grew up close to Mount Union in Beloit, Ohio. My high school was in the same conference as his high school, but we moved up to the big boy Steel Valley conference before he was in high school, but before my high school made the move I had visited their stadium for various athletic endeavors. He could be helpful for recruiting in NE Ohio and Western PA should he choose to come to Penn State. However, being a former Div1-AA HC, he could possibly become the next ISU head coach.

Just repeating what Tengweell mentioned who was focused on their ratings. I think you're right that there probably are players worth bringing in for the staff to develop.

Of course they would. They were reacting to getting lied to ignored and having no info

Campbell at his first meeting with the players should be like, if you have an issue with me being HC, you can leave now, no hard feelings.
Man, I just don't get the division and animosity in our fanbase. I dont see this in other schools fan bases. I have supported all our coaches over the years...going back to Rip Engle. I'm appreciative of all their contributions to Penn State. They all have done some great things during their tenures. Now I'm looking forward to the Campbell era. That doesn't mean that I can't still honor Rip, Joe, Bill and James for all their accomplishments and contributions. It just seems some fans take on this tribal mentality. Not sure why. We are all Penn Staters and we should be proud of our past, present and future.

Kraft: “Never in doubt.”
Make them DTs? Ive always thought Franklin's lines were too small.
you're right, of course
but our history and rotten leadership have created this- and a small group of pot stirrers are constantly on the job
I would be surprised if he is not brought in with Campbell. He is not a exclusively 3-3-5 guy, but also plays a 3-4 and a 4-3.The Cyclone DC has a lot of Ohio Midwest experiences, and probable recruiting contacts.

Haecock will retire after this year. If Campbell is hiring a DC off his staff, my guess would be Deon Broomfield the DBs coach. When Campbell left Toledo for ISU ten years ago, he brought most of his staff, so I would expect the same here.
I agree. Our leadership over the past 2 decades have failed their fiduciary responsibility.
Hawkeye fan here to tell you Campbell is a home run hire.
I dislike ISU but never could get there with MC...he was a lot like ferentz..solid respectful high character meat and potatoes old school ball coach with better passing offense than Kirk.
Glad Iowa will not face him every year, but not looking forward to facing him with PSU.
I root for BIG outside of league games,including PSU, so good luck.

I should get some bonus points or free subscriptions for getting this started! It was entertaining
Don't know how many ISU commits would follow Campbell. For one thing, ISU recruiting is all about stash and develop, and I imagine Campbell will want to target more guys who are ready to play in the portatl. Campbell is also not the kind of guy who is going to poach a bunch of incoming and current players. He's kinda of the anti-Lane Kiffin. Of anyone, I expect you might get our QB Rocco Becht who will be a 5th year senior and is the record holder for basically every statistical QB category in school history, including wins. He can be very erratic thought and some in our fanbase would probably welcome offloading him to you guys.
Can't agree with this. I would go more with, "if you have an issue with me being HC, let's meet up and have a discussion because I would love to keep you around".
I know what you are saying, but if any of them get up and walk out right away then and there without even giving him a chance, those players going to consume too much of his time. If they are that immature and closed minded, see ya.
Excellent hire and a great day for Penn State football! Welcome Coach Campbell! Time to get to work!
So what are people thinking who our OC and DC will be? I think both JK and AK should be shown the door. Not sure who we keep. Terry, yes but I think he gone. We need someone who can recruit Philly. I want a GM also.
As for the roster, there has to be some pretty good ISU talent that will come. Wide receivers? Linebackers? Do they have a decent QB? Grunk is decent but we need to see if there are better options including through the portal.
Of the current players here is my list of guys just of the top of my head that I hope are staying (in no particular order).
Rojas
Coleman
Granville
Gilliam
Cook
Kemajou
Harvey
Burnett
Wafle
Campbell
Tatsch
Dixon
Collins
Shorter
Mack
Tracy
Wallace
Reynolds
Rapp
Olesh
Cousins
Shanahan
Donkoh
Williams
Goodman
Onoh
Boyer
Howard
Denmark
Barker
Excited for the new chapter of Penn State football! WE ARE PENN STATE!!

Of you do that, Grinkmeyer moves on. Tough call. I thought Grunk got better as he played.

Imagine all this time Thinking Kraft is the problem and it's actually Jay and Lubrano?
Seeing that Grunk was recruited by ISU, I think he stays.
