O'Brien recruited Reid. SJP was not a national player during the Paterno era. It was just another program in the Philadelphia Catholic League Southern Division. No agenda here, I barely care about PSU football these days, and I'm not a joebot. Those 400 offers are not first come first served. How many players have been lost because PSU gave a priority position or held a position for a SJP national recruit. Then when he goes inevitably goes elsewhere (like Georgia, Notre Dame, or Clemson), they tell the next guy we love you, and he says sorry someone else loved me from the start. This is the difference between playing chess and checkers. Franklin is a checkers player and so are you.
