Check out what top Nittany Lion recruits receive in the mail now as opposed to 36 years ago.
Penn State has 18 commitments for its Class of 2016, which is hardly unique. Across the Big Ten, 12 of the 14 programs have already hit double figures in verbals (sorry Indiana and Purdue fans).
But unless you are a serious recruitnik, you probably did not realize that coaching staffs were not allowed to make written offers to prospects until the first day of August (which was Saturday).
Penn State's offers were sent out via an express mail service Saturday, and prospects began receiving them Monday.
