The big difference is they aren’t guaranteed to have top ten classes in the meantime like they always have been. -
Why is this? Even Ty managed to get Jack Locker and Kevario Middleton. Even the most inept coaching staffs at the worst programs are going to be able to keep some percentage of local studs home.UW_Doog_Bot said:

I mean besides WSU of course. -
Franklin would legitimately bite into our expanded recruiting footprint(Oregon, Utah, Hawaii, etc.) and immediately put SC back on the map. He's a rilly rill recruiter and not at all a bad developer or in-game coach.HillsboroDuck said:

Washington State doesn't produce enough talent to get us over the hump. We have to recruit beyond that. It will be a lot harder with a resurgent USC.
Also, one bad recruiting class could easily be made up with their current numbers. Franklin could come in and be competing for the Pac12 title in 2020 with a still loaded roster.
Prayingdoog.gif that Helton hangs on for another year because of the administrative mess at USC or that they flop and hire some bad NFL retread or otherwise useless coach.

I thought you meant Troy Franklin not James Franklin.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Disregard. -
Wait, what? Is that a legitimate rumor? Why would Franklin leave Penn State for USC?UW_Doog_Bot said:

We can argue ad nauseum about which is a better job and I would probably agree USC is by a small margin.
But Franklin is from Pennsylvania, played D2 college ball in Pennsylvania, and has spent only 2 of his 26 year coaching career west of Kansas. -

22nd ranked class with only 7 Blue Chip and 18 Three Stars at a school not exactly known for developing their players.

God you guys are shook. We need USC to be good. You're scared of James Franklin? What's he going to do? Recruit well?UW_Doog_Bot said:

They recruit well every fucking year.
You guys are fucking stuck in '05 with this shit. IN THE LAST 40 YEARS USC HAS NEVER BEEN GOOD EXCEPT FOR PC BEING THERE.
We got the classes we needed. If we do what we should in the 2020 class it is much better for us for USC to be good. -
No Puka paperwork. We?re going to get what we deserved for gloating.

The last time I heard from James Frankin he was saying how it is up to him to make Penn State ELITE. An ELITE team. That was after blowing a nice lead against Ohio State. Then they lost 2 or 3 more games
Franklin has not won a B1G title or made the playoffs at a school with similar resources to USC who recruits well every year
He does not SUCK, that is way over used. The Lions were well prepared and well coached when they beat us? but he's not superman. Or Urban Meyer -
I like to point out the tims I'm wrongGrundleStiltzkin said:No Puka paperwork. We?re going to get what we deserved for gloating.
It's something I like to do.
