This year has definitely been frustrating because it was a great chance to move up in a weak Big Ten. But even with the disappointment, I don&#8217;t know how this level of recruiting doesn&#8217;t trump everything going on right now with the program. We need to see where this plateaus first because it&#8217;s only trending up right now. The reviews continue to pour in for Mike Watkins, too. With these guys impressing at national events, more and more high school players and coaches are noticing the talent heading to State College.
