## Resource

Penn State football recruiting is under the microscope as Matt Campbell’s start in Happy Valley gets compared directly to James Franklin’s early success at Virginia Tech. With both programs sitting close in the recruiting rankings, the debate is not whether Franklin can recruit — it is whether Penn State needed him to keep recruiting at a top level.
