This is going to be a really interesting wind down to the recruiting cycle. With HC changes and in some cases full staff changes at Illinois, Maryland, Syracuse, Rutgers, Virginia Tech, and Virginia and a lousy year and Addazio on the hot seat at BC, there's going to be quite a bit of movement with some of the Northeast and Mid Atlantic recruits. To our advantage in this turmoil, PSU has not had a coaching change and their 2016 class is pretty much wrapped up, which means that we, along with Pitt, stand to be the natural beneficiary of attrition at Rutgers and BC.
If the new staff plays their cards right, manages and retains the cream of the current commits, and takes full advantage of what's going on in the landscape, this class could end up rivaling on paper the 2014 class.
