Two 4-star high school prospects recently committed to the Penn State Nittany Lions after initially choosing other schools.
Penn State coach James Franklin recently flipped two high school prospects committed to other programs , underscoring the constantly changing landscape of college football recruiting. Franklin has said in the past that, when players commit, that merely signals to other coaches against whom they're competing. And they're always competing.
First, Franklin said, Penn State has to feel legitimately involved in the player's recruiting process. In both of the recent cases, Penn State was high on the players' lists. Knowing where his program stands determines how much Franklin continues recruiting the player. The other factor is resources. While Penn State has poured more staff and capital into recruiting lately , those resources aren't unlimited. There's an opportunity cost to pursuing one recruit over another.
Ultimately, Franklin said, those factors determine his strategy when considering whether to continue recruiting players who don't pick Penn State the first time.
