He made the post game comments of being great but not elite were directed at the 175 recruits they had in attendance including about 15 five stars, namely Harrison who is from CBus and were at the press conference. JF is very tactically sound recruiting, one of the best, kind of like Coach Cal in hoops. At every interview, they use it as a recruiting tool. He was saying to those recruits, you can take us from great to elite, thats how close we are. Recruits have been talking about it and how great it was.
Only JF in game coaching will prevent PSU from being a monster for years to come, unfortunately. This will probably be their worse year of the next 5 even with #9 leaving.
