Actually, he went overboard, IMO.
First, I like SVP. He's a Terp alum, and has always had good things to say about PSU, like most teams. He's the anti-Cowherd. Cowherd intends to insult. It gets callers and people to talk about him. He admits it. As a one-man show, it is his schtick.
Now, SVP was over the top about how much momentum PSU has right now, and is recruiting well. And he's not wrong. But he threw the old staff under the bus too easily to make his point that PSU is on the rise. Recruiting is OBVIOUSLY different now. In the past few years, recruiting was a very targeted group of prospects. They were identified, recruited, and landed with pretty good results. Broader net now, looking for some of the bigger fish. It is yet to be seen if it is better, but it is a bit different.
He was wrong when he said our recruiting was poor. It wasn't great, but it was far from poor. He even mentioned how we suffered in early commitments. Not that argument again.
Its what happens when the big fish say NO that will tell us more. Does BOB have any relatives or close friends with school age kids that want to play football? From indications, we're not waiting. We're offering and forming a recruiting class.

SVP is well known in the DC area and has a strong reputation as being a stand up, decent guy. He's a sports nut who wants to talk about the stuff that interests him, not get attention by playing for the shock value. Listening to him is a refreshing change from the "let me say stuff to get some people upset so they call my show" fare that occupies much of the air time on sports radio.
