I am not for the watered down version of early recruiting. Many "Selected/Chosen" players are not as good as some on not on the "watch" lists. While there are some rare exception, Penn State in my opinion got the real deal. Some others not even publicized but with "agreements" are head scratchers.
I do see it helping some other schools in the NE. Many want that warmer temp but an opportunity at a good school with the opportunity to put a school on the map with some great young coaching. Manhattan, Fairfield, Hartford, Marist, Providence, Towson, Drexel, Siena and Monmouth come top of mind.
