On-field results not shaping recruiting so far for Pitt or Penn State

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Pitt went 11-3 and won the ACC title last season, went to a New Year's Six bowl game and had the third-place finisher in the Heisman Trophy race.

Surprisingly, all of that hasn't really done much for the Panthers' recruiting so far. They are just 55th in the 247Sports class of 2023 rankings, with only one commit (a 3-star).

Penn State finished just 7-6 last season, had one of the most disappointing collapses in program history and lost its mid-level bowl game.

But none of that seems to matter when it comes to recruiting, as the Nittany Lions have been killing if thus far.
